Love My Memories: Issue No. 16 & Blog Hop!

Did you know that I write for Love My Memories magazine (LoveMemo)? It's a magazine in Japan that is dedicated to scrapbooking and equally dedicated are Editor Emi Kume, and her wonderful staff! Great people to work with :0)

Issue #16 is now available and they have done a total re-design of the magazine. So to comemorate the occasion, they are having their first blog hop. Sorry, it's in Japanese but take a look - two of the hoppers included artwork so be inspired! Link will be at the bottom.

One of the prizes is an idea book (Scrapbooking NO KISO Book)...I have a copy. Inspired I wanted to show you all my take on a project that Editor Emi created - a shaped mini album. See hers on the cover (lower right corner)...

This is what I created, using my Spellbinders™ Grand Calibur® and LF-161 Grand Labels One as the base (click on pic to take a closer look)...
