First of all, WELCOME!! Today, I created a mini album from Punky Sprouts' Spunky Sprouts and (mostly) Sizzlin' Summer Collection from TaDa Creative Studios! My theme is "It's A Beautiful Thing..." which is also a sentiment from TaDa Creative Studios' Bountiful Bloom stamp set. I created an album dedicated to my beautiful thing - my family whom I am thankful for!

I loved how this cover turned out! It was a covered corregated page which I exposed by tearing through - it wasn't hard nor did it take too long. What a great look!

Then I cut the Hello Sunshine paper (from TaDa's Sizzlin' Summer Collection) to size. Next, I edged both with white paint.

After determing the placement of each element, I adhered each to the paper and then adhered the embellished page onto the corregated cover.

That's how I created my front cover. Now on to the pages of the mini. For a closer look, please click on the images :0)

Page Two & Three:

I stenciled on page 3. Using the Tea Hee Hee/Star Bursts Oooh La La Layers line, I ink misted on to the canvas. After it dried, I misted two more different colors (drying between colors). Loved how it turned out! I stamped images from the Sizzlin' Summer stamp set and journaled about the pictures.

Page Four & Five:

Page Six & Seven:

Page Eight & Nine:

Page 10 & 11:

Page 12 & 13:

On Page 13, I used one of Punky Sprouts' Lil' Blooms (pre-cut canvas rounds) to create a flower. Then I heat embossed it with pink glittered powder. I used a paper piecer to hold the flower in place so I don't burn myself! LOL!! After placing the flower on to the page, I added a pearl in the middle.

Back Cover:

Hope you enjoyed viewing the mini as much as I enjoyed creating it! If you haven't already done so, please visit the other blogs from the last few days by going to either TaDa's blog or Punky Sprouts' blog for the links. The blog hop will last throught the 27th!

Again, thanks for visiting and Good Luck!
