Hiya
(This is a long post as there's tonnes of pictures)
I've got something quite different to show you today. People who know me, will know how much i love to try out different things. So today i'm showing you my first mini album. I loved making this... it was sooo much fun! I wasn't sure what to put inside, so I just put the first things that came into my head. To say i started it at 2 in the morning when i couldn't sleep, i'm quite happy with how it turned out. Some pages were quite hard to take photos off as I used lots of shimmery embossing powder, so sorry about the dodgy piccies.
The album is cut from a cardboard box, and fastened together with book rings. I did have 3 but managed to loose one... woops! Some pages have patterned papers from my paper cellar wedding pack, and then all are attacked with walnut stain distress inks and splatted with water.
On the front cover i stamped 'My Book' (well that's what it is!) using See d's letter stamps, and then stamped and embossed my gorgeous prima swirl stamp around the edge. Then i went a bit crazy with my x-cut flower punch. lol. Each flower is glittered and with a gem.
On these pages is see d's stamped titles, prima swirl stamp as a tree, and embossed ground.
This page is stamped around the edge with the swirl stamp and then left blank for my family to sign.
Embossed edges, stamped title, green tara flowers, sticker and envelope from stash, with a message from mum... awwwwww! :) 
Another page left blank for my friends to sign, and corner stamped with swirl stamp.
Friends page - velum pocket with tag and quote, woodware punched flowers, green tara flowers, everything else from stash.
Swirl stamped border, stamped heading, die cut hearts sent by a docrafter. The opposite page is blank as i havn't decided what to use it for yet.
The back cover is made to look as if it's been accidently sat in water :)
I'm entering it in these challeges:
