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.

Graphic 45 Raining Cats & Dogs Mini Album

I finally created an album with this gorgeous Graphic 45 pet collection! I don't know how long I've had this paper line sitting on a shelf. Too long, that's for sure! 

I buy the collections I love and then I just can't get myself to cut into them and start a project. I visualize it, but don't make it a reality. I'm not going to say how many collections of paper lines I have just waiting for me to make something out of them. Not all are Graphic 45, but quite a few are!

For the cover I did use some of the flower cardstock die-cuts from the collection along with flowers I had in my stash. I think they are from Petaloo and some others I picked up somewhere. I used some bling I had on hand for the flower centers.  

There are fourteen pages total including the front and back cover. I had planned to use some black book rings I have but the book ended up too chunky and I had to go buy some larger rings. 

I love this paper! I tried to coordinate the pages that open together.

This page has a pull out photo mat.



This flap opens up for room for more photos.

The page to the left has two pockets that hold two photo mats and two tags.

The page to the right holds a frame. I pulled out an old Sizzix die I've had forever to make the frame. The white cardstock can be pulled out and used as a template to cut a photo to slide in it's place.

I love the patterned paper on the page to the left!

This page opens up to add photos and there is another pull out photo mat.

The page to the left has a booklet that opens (shown below). I also added one of the cardstock pockets and a tag from the collection. The page to the right has a pocket that holds a booklet (shown below).

This booklet opens to the right.....

.......and to the left.



The booklet inside the pocket opens up to hold more photos.

The page to the left holds two photo mats as does the page to the right.

I added another frame to hold a photo. This time I changed the orientation on the page. The page to the right holds two more photo mats.

The last two pages. The right page has a photo waterfall.

I love the colors in this collection.

It's quite a chunky book.

I love creating the books that don't use binding rings, but for some reason books with rings hold a special place in my heart. They are my favorite to create!

Love the paper I used for the back cover!

I hand dyed all the ribbon for the rings. I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink to coordinate the colors.

Thanks for stopping by to take a look!
