Bordering on Romance

This is one of the new stamp sets in the summer mini which I have used for the first time. It is coloured with the SU markers in Riding Hood Red, Pear Pizazz and Marina Mist (it should have been Baja Breeze but I yhought it need something a little deeper). The papers are from the Twitterpated DSP, I used the framelits to cut them out and added the new pleated satin ribbon also from the summer mini. The sentiment is Teeny Tiny wishes stamped out with the word window punch, mounted on red cut with the modern label punch. Three rhinestones on the ribbon and faux stitching around the image finished it off.

Treat Bag

A simple treat bag all ready for holding a cellophane nag of sweets! Baha Breeze and Riding Hood Red  cardstock, Twitterpated DSP, Framelits, Apothecary Art stamp set all finished off with a bow made from Victoria lace ribbon, and an antique brad. The closure ( a hook and loop dot) is hidden by a flower cut with boho blossom punch and a rhinestone in the middle.

A Mini Maze Book

I saw one of these demonstrated a couple of weeks ago and decided I would like to have a go - and they are really easy to make out of one sheet of double sided paper. There are lots of demos on how to make them on You Tube and the web.

I intended to showcase some of the products from the new summer mini but I ended up using lots and lots of products from the mini and main catty!! It's also not the easiest thing to photograph to show you .This is the front and the following are some of the inside elements.

The last two pictures show the album opened out . Where there is a square missing is because I stuck two squares together to make the back cover and hold the ribbon in place. Now for the list of items used:
