Love/Valentine not so mini, mini

This is a BIG mini! I followed a tutorial from Anna's paper creations (who is completely awesome by the way :) You can find Anna here http://www.annespapercreations.com/ and here https://www.youtube.com/user/xannero1 This album has 5 "sets" of pages. Each page has between 7 and 9 places for photos and/or journalling. It also has 6 double sided tags, in the top loading pockets. That's somewhere around 50 spots! I didn't really believe it, I counted it repeatedly lol.


The daisy's on the cover  are from http://southernchipboard.blogspot.ca/ check them out. 


I just love this paper pack "Love Me" from My Minds Eye.
. That's probably why I had the 2 of the 12 by 12 and one 6 by 6! Maybe a little overboard!!

I have a quick flip through video you can watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afyP0VfOOio  If you'd like to make your own album please check out Anna she has a great, easy to follow tutorial.

Octobers here, yay! One of my favourite times of year is fall not only because of the beautiful colours of change but it gets cool enough to start cooking comfort meals in the kitchen again. AND Halloween, I love Halloween!! I love decorating and making scary foods to eat and scaring the kids lol I know I can't help myself. Nothing makes me happier than hearing how scary our yard is or when a child is standing on the street too afraid to make it up our driveway to the porch. They usually send a parent or a willing sibling to come fetch their candies. Although if they don't, I usually run down (I use the word run loosely here) lol to give them the candy.

Anyway...here are some Halloween projects I've been working on in the past month or so.


This is going to be my my Halloween, table centrepiece. I used a bunch of cut files with my silhouette cameo ( the hat, bats, tree and the word wicked. Also a chipboard spider web from Southern Ridge Trading Co. I had a bunch of bendy wire in my drawer and attached the bats with it.

The bow, I made with some ribbon I bought at a antique store. I love doing little projects like this one, there just fun. 




I also made this banner.




I was in Michaels a while back when they were selling off large rolls of burlap ribbon. I think I paid $2.50 for 25 feet of it. Even though it was ridiculously inexpensive I wasn't going to buy it.


My friend :) convinced me to buy it anyway...INSTIGATOR!



Anyway I did find a use for it, and I'm quite happy that I have it now. I'm still not sure what to do with the other 20 feet of it. lol Have any ideas? Let me know. That's all I have at the moment. Thanks for looking, Erin
