My Thick "Prima" Mini Album

Hi everyone!! This is my thick "Prima" mini album which was inspired by Marion on 1 of her "Live with Prima" Ustream shows. Here is the link http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/5549194
I only came across the channel recently.... and there are plenty of very cool projects....!!

Here is my version of the mini. It measures 41/4" by 51/2" , I hand stitched all the pages and made a loop on the side of the mini for hanging charms and adding ribbons. It consists of 16 pattern papers that were folded into half, stitched them onto a piece of heavy weight cardstock which was glued on the back of the cover lining because I didn't want the spine to show. Its different from Marions.
I had lots of fun making this Mini and am loving it, will be making more. Papers used were from K&company Black & Ivory Fusion Collection.

Here are some photos of the mini.












I layered the fabric flowers and added some pearl strings and black pearls on the center




I already have in mind what photos are going into this mini... :D




This 1 here is a simple journal I made for myself for taking down notes relating to scrapbooking, so I called it 'all things scrappy'. The pages are also hand stitched....










Thank you for dropping by and taking a peek. Have a wonderful day!! Happy Scrapping!!
