Finally - a Mini Book & Frame

I have been wanting to make a rolodex mini book for about 2 years now.  Well, today that finally happened!





All products were Papertrey Ink.  I hold all my PTI supplies in a small box, I grabbed the entire box, set it on my desk, and started creating.  The "pages" are PTI's Desk Top File dies.  I love it that they can make pages in my little book.  Because I used so many other images, I am not going to link -- suffice to say, this was like art journaling  [so many products used]. However, this was so fun, and I will be doing this again for sure!!

Have you ever made a mini book?  Feel free to link me up I would love to see what you created!!

I also was surfing the web and found this amazing artist, Ingrid, over at Ingrid's Place. If you are into art media [at all] you must pop over and check out her blog.  Amazing talent!!  Anyway, I was inspired to make my son and daughter in law a small present when I saw this gorgeous creation;


 Is this totally stunning or what!  Damn, blew my socks off!
Though mine is not even close to the inspiration, I still had fun!  I hope they like it.

Another successful, fun day~


Thanks for stopping by~
