Easy Peasy Mini-Album



Hey, everybody! This is Robyn here to share something that's super-easy, fast, and fun to make! I'm always eager to start fresh at the beginning of a new year, but I wanted to make something to help me remember some of the wonderful times I had in 2007! I wasn't in the mood for a long drawn-out project that would take me hours to do. I wanted something that was gonna be quick, easy, and cheap to make, without using a ton of product. I also wanted to focus on my feelings about each event, so I did something I never do when I'm scrapping...I journaled in my own handwriting! So, here's what I came up with: A five page mini-album using cardstock, 2 rings, eyelets, stickers, a pen, ribbon, rub-ons (which were created by our own Dee Gallimore-Perry!), a button, and a flower! The only thing I did that actually took a little time was to stitch a border around each page. Even with the sewing, it still only took me about 1.5 hours to complete the entire album. Now for a mini-album that's great timing!

Now for the fun part!
CHALLENGE!!!!
I'm challenging you to make an easy peasy mini-album of your own using a minimum amount of items! Don't buy anything! Only use things you already have in your stash of scrap materials! Your album subject can be whatever you like! Post a link to it here and you can win one of these two Sheer Mini-Albums by Maya Road and my new favorite stickers from Basic Grey's Two Scoops Collection! I'll select a winner on January 20, 2008 from the entries! I'm looking forward to seeing what fabulous creations you come up with! Have fun and Be Blessed!!

I'm actually working on mine right now. It's going to take me a bit longer than 2 hours but I'll show when I'm done. Not sure I'll be finished in time for your prizes. But great challenge. I love the book.
