Itty Bitty Mini Swap

Hi Friends! Today I'm sharing a super cute itty bitty mini I made for a swap over at Scrappy Happiness. Now I didn't put a link to the site since Kimmer who hosts and puts on all the swaps, has moved to a new site. I'll do a post about that once I get back from vacation and have had a chance to sign up etc. We're leaving tomorrow for a huge family vacation...I'm super excited and can't wait to spend some time with the Henderson Clan : )

I signed up for the Itty Bitty Mini as I've never made one with these specific size requirements, 4x4. Even though it's itty bitty, the mini is constructed and is just as full of texture and detail as my larger minis. The color theme was black, pink and white.

I made the cover of the album from chipboard and the "pages" are paper bags.For the binding I used Laura Denison's Stack The Deck.

 

Here's a quick video I did that shows you the mini up close....

 

The pics are a bit darker than normal, I wasn't able to get photos as early in the day as I had wanted..sorry about that : )

 

 

I hope the recipient of my mini loves it and I can't wait to get mine. I'll do a post and video once I get it.

 

Thanks for checking out another scrappy post...Happy Craftin!!

 





Laura Denison Tag Swap!!

Hi Friends! Today I'll be sharing the awesome tags I received from Laura Denison's with Following The Paper Trail Tag Swap!!

I signed up for two months so I received two sets of tags. I did a video to share just how beautiful these tags are. Each one has so much detail and I love them!!

So grap a cup of coffee, tea etc and sit back and enjoy another ScrappinAbby video : )

They consist of all the amazing goodies I purchased, make'n take's, class projects and kits I purchased. So be sure to come back and check them out.

They're Here...They're Here!!!

Hey Everyone...I am super excited!! My tags from the 2012 Tag Swap with Laura at Following The Paper Trail arrived yesterday. I have been anxiously awaiting these for a couple of months now & the tags are just beautiful. You can read all about the tag swap and see the tags I made HERE.

Squeal!!! I couldn't wait to open up this package and check out the tags I received : )

Wow!! I am truly blown away by the GORGEOUS tags I received...seriously I love them!! Now keep in mind I took these pics with my phone...I was too excited to run downstairs and grab the real camera..lol.

First let me say that I really do love this tag BUT I have a true phobia of spiders and there's a spider like bling on this tag...eek!! If you click on the picture you can see it better. So no offense to the creative lady who crafted this beautiful tag...but I'm gonna have to "hide" the spider bling so I don't freak out when I look at it..lol.

Love the frame on this one..super cute!!

Lovin the bling!!

Great idea adding the mini envelope to this tag..this allows you to tuck in a quick note or something.

Sweet flower cluster..love that!

Happy to see one of the tags was purple : )

Simply BEAUTIFUL tag...I have this TH die & I love it!!. This tag also came with the super adorable mini envelope you see to the right and the note card directly below it.

The paper lace border is sweet & the butterflies are so pretty.

I couldn't be happier with the tags I received. This was my first ever tag swap and I have to tell you I picked a FAB one to be a part of. I can't wait for the next one : )

Laura Denison Shabby Chic Tag Swap

Hi fellow crafters...welcome back for another scrappy post. Today I am sharing with you some shabby chic tags I made for the Tag Swap over at The Paper Trail with Laura Denison. I have to tell you before I even show you my tags...I LOVE Laura and her amazing designs & projects she comes up with. If you haven't visited her blog or checked out her Ustream and YouTube videos..you need to. She is amazing!!

So, for Laura's tag swap there were 3 categories, Shabby Chic, French Country and Grunge. I like all 3 styles but chose the Shabby Chic swap.

We had to create 9 tags, keep one for ourself and mail off the other 8. I am really looking forward to seeing the shabby chic tags I get back from 8 different crafters : )

We were asked to sign our tags......

I love the layers & textures....

All packaged and ready to ship out : )

I'll do a post when I receive my 8 tags and show you the ones I received.

Thanks for stopping by...I do appreciate all of my followers & those who come back to see what I'm up to :)

Happy Scrappin!!
