Yesterday, when I realised it was October the 1st, I thought about blogging every day this month. Obviously that was an epic fail before it even got off the ground. I'm not sure what I would have said every day. Sometimes there isn't a lot happening.
I did do some crafting this morning and this evening as the weather has been so lousy out. I have been watching YouTube videos and found one that made a lovely little mini-album. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to use them for, but I gave one a try and it was really easy! I have lots of small photos and lots of paper, so was thinking I'd make some up to use for photos. The video is Easy Mini-Album. This is the beginning of mine.
For this one I used 3 sheets of 12 x 12 paper
The little pieces are the hinges to attach the pages together.
A bit of ribbon for the closure - be sure to add this before putting decorative papers on top!
This is the paper pad I used on each page. I think I brought it back from my trip.
The front decorated. I have to do the inside pages and then add photos and embellishments. I was really surprised how easy it was!
For someone who is supposed to not be shopping I have been watching far too many 'haul' videos on YouTube. These are videos people post of the items they have purchased - in my case I'm watching crafty bargains. Going up in my craft room though reminds me that I have a lot of stuff to use!
Something that made me smile today (despite the rain). Autumn is coming. There isn't a lot of colour around, but I can see the changes coming. The greens are beginning to fade and in places the leaves are changing. I love Autumn with all the bright colours before the dark of winter sets in.
Maybe you can blog every other day, in October. :)
ReplyDeleteLunch with your friend sounds like it was fun; I'm glad you were able to get together with her.
The mini album is a cute idea! Thank you for the link to the video.
I love seeing the leaves change color! Not too many trees change color here, but, there are a few that do. I hope the rain lets up, soon, and you are able to have good weather on your long weekend away. Have a good rest of the week, Sharon.
THat's a super book, thanks for the mini tutorial.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.

We are well into autumn and the chillier days. I'm hoping to do a mini photo project to capture the season but the weather is not cooperating. I need some dry days!
