Mermaid Hair - Spiral Notebook Spectrum Gardenia

Hello everyone, today I have this great Spiral Notebook from the 49 and Market Spectrum Gardenia range that I made into a mini album.

My gorgeous Grand daughter got Mermaid braids put in her hair as a treat and fell in love with them. We were lucky enough that she wanted to show them off and did some super sassy little poses for us turning into a mini photo shoot.

The Gardenia range was just perfect for these photos.

I decided to make a Mini Album using the larger of the two Gardenia Spiral Albums adding a pin from the Embellishment kit to the spine with ribbon and buttons.

Using the ephemera, laser cuts, filmstrips I have layer, layer, layered the different pages using the main colour of the page.

I have also added words and shapes from the Chipboard ranges.

The Color Swatch Inkwell stiched frames and filmstips were added to this page along with the Gardenia Essential File kit.

You fill my heart - 49 and Market Spectrum Gardenia

Hello 49 and Market fans.

When I have my grand children sometimes we go to what they call the "Pink Slide Park" that has lots of different sized slides that are of course Pink. Spectrum Gardenia range was perfect for this photo that I took of my Grand daughter there.

I have started with 12x12 Painted Foundations paper "Fragments" which has the gorgeous pink circular pattern in the middle. I have then used the Pink Skies paper as photo mats with chipboard in between the layers to add depth.

I spread out the Ephemera pieces in front of me along with laser cuts and compiled my own little clusters then added eyelettes to the top.

I added some paper behind the viewfinder and then used a .5 thin marker to emulate sewing stitches which I also added around the edges of the page as well.
