Mini Album

So here is my finished mini  album.   The cover  was made from grey board & cover using  some K&Co paper i had & a 6x6  seaside paper pad from Crafty Indiviuals.  I've used a card dome on the front cover to hold some of the small sea shells i had collected from Clacton , southend , Brightling Sea ,& Waton-on-the-naze. My original plan was to stick the small shells on the front cover but change my mind becasue i thought that they might come off over time or just break.   I've used a Tim Holtzs ring binder to hold the inside pages. The flip flop on the side was won from the 2p machines from archades.



The inside pages of the album have some pages with pockets & flap added with small pages attached to them which gives more room for photo's.

I've also used my  Crafty Individuals seaside stamps inside & on photo's .


You can see here an extra pocket & pocket that holds a tag with a photo on .

Mail slide & bird coasters.


A few weeks ago myself & two other crafting friends set a challenge to see what we could make using some mail slides holders,. I hope i got the name right for these. Anyway this is what we came up with .
Left - Mine,,  Middle -Sue,, Right - Sheila .



The insides are decorated like this,
The one Sue made has a slide she made that comes out . 
I thought the three of us did a fab job in decorating these.

Now last week the chellenge set was to add a bird to the coaster . I think we met our challenge again.
Top left - Sue's  
Top Right - Shelia's,
Bottom - Mine.
We have a few of these litlle coasters & have decided to decorate one side a week with a different theme each week.
