Meow

This paper line called Meow from My Mind's Eye is adorable!
For my cover I used one of the Journal Cards and matted it on black cardstock. 

This is the second book that I've create where I have made the spine a little larger. 

I like it wider so that more dimensional items can be added.

I used some of the chipboard pieces on the back cover.
This book measures 6-inches by 5-inches.
There are 12 pages and 11 pockets with photo mats.

I alternated the photo mats using gray and pink cardstock for the pockets on the pages.

I added a few flip photo mats on some of the pages.

I still have enough paper left to create one if not two more books depending on size I choose to make.

Graphic 45 Raining Cats & Dogs Cat Mini Album

I finished the cat album I was working on using the Graphic 45 Raining Cats & Dog collection. It's very similar to the dog album I made using this collection. I did change up a few things so it's not identical.

I love the dimension on the cover. The flowers are from the collection, I just added some ink and water and broke the fibers down to get the dimension I was going for. The others are flowers I had in my stash that matched the color scheme. I still had some ribbon I had dyed left over from the dog album so I used it on the rings.

Below are photos of the inside pages. There are lots of mats for photos and interactive flaps that open to hold photos.

For both this book and the dog book I used quite a bit of the paper in the collection from the 12x12, 8x8 and 6x6 paper pads. I also used other items from the collection. I think I still have enough odds and ends to create some smaller books and/or cards. I'll have to wait and see what inspires me.

Cat Mini Album

Today I'm sharing a mini album I made for my dog groomer. It's a cute 4-inch by 4-inch cat book. I create pet cards for my groomer that she sells to her clients and now she's going to take a few mini albums. I'm starting on a dog one now that I'll share when I finish it.

For the pages I used 4-inch coasters. They are so perfect for this type of project. I picked them up last summer on eBay. I think there were 100 in the pack. I bound the book using spiral binding wires from We R Memory Keepers.

I hung a charm from the binding with jute. I've had alot of my cat embellishments in my stash for quite awhile, so I'm not sure who the manufacturer is.

Here's a top view. I used six coasters for the pages. There are a total of 10 pages and room for 22 photos using the photo mats that are included throughout the book.

For the patterned paper I used DCWV The Pet Stack. The solid papers are also from DCWV. On this page I added dimension by adhering the photo mat with pop dots. I added a brad that says "purr..." On the second page I added a pocket. I used the open scallop punch from EK Success for the border. The pocket holds one photo mat and a tag with cat quote. I typed up three quotes in Word using different fonts and then adhered them to shipping tags.

I left this page blank so the recipient can add a photo or whatever strikes their fancy. On the next page I added a vertical pocket and added a cat quote sticker. I'm not sure who the manufacturer is for this sticker as I used stickers from NRN Designs called Cat Quotes and from Cloud 9 Designs called Simple Thoughts. This pocket also holds two photo mats.

The first page here holds three photo mats and the second one has one mat and one tag. I used another cat quote on the band.

To add dimension to this page I added a metal embellishment to the top of the photo mat. I popped it up with pop dots. I left the next page blank since the paper was so cute. A photo can also be added to it.

On the first page shown here I made a flip book that has five pages. I watched a tutorial on how to make this from my friend Susie over a Creative Cafe. She creates beautiful books! Be sure to check them out if you get a chance. I did make a video of this book that you can see here.
