Graduation Mini Album

Hi everyone!!
I'm still alive :) I have been crafting some here and there. Summer time is just busy with both kiddos home and one in summer school but only for a few hours each day and during that time I'm taking the other one to therapy, library time, appointments, etc.
My bestie and I do a monthly swap and it's always my favorite thing to create every month.

I always look forward to it.

In May, our swap was to create a Mini Album.
**Photo Heavy!!**

This was a first for our swaps.
I made a Graduation Paper bag mini album for her daughter that graduated in 2010.

Pages 1 and 2

I used alot of supplies on this mini album so I won't list them here but if you would like to know just comment or send me a message. Some of them are also handmade specifically for this album.
I hope you are having a wonderful summer and stay cool!!

Cute Twine Notebooks

Hi Friends!
Today is my day to share a project featuring Blueberry Trendy Twine.
I save a ton of cereal boxes to make things with,

for example, Mini Albums, wreaths, and now notebooks.

I saw these cute little notebooks on Pinterest and I knew I had to make my very own version of them featuring Trendy Twine.

I am always in need of paper in my car and purse so I thought these would be fun and perfect!

I love how the Blueberry Trendy Twine holds the notebooks shut.

Notebook opened, I used the Blueberry Trendy Twine for the simple binding.

The finished size of the notebook is 4" by 5 1/2". The perfect size for a purse!

Even a little doodling pad for the little ones. ;o)
