"Cottage Garden" Mini Album and Kit

I created this mini album for my mom. I used the latest paper line from Tim Coffey, Cottage Garden. LOVE IT!! The mini's purpose it to hold pictures of my mom's garden and outdoor projects. I would appreciate hearing what you think!

Here's the mini:

 

 
I don't know what the issue is but the rest of the photos are turning sideways and I am now too frustrated to figure it out! :) You can see the rest on YouTube HERE. I will try again to add the pictures later.

Aha!! Got it. :)

Here's the kit available at my zibbet.com shop:

***Not pictured is the SU cardstock die cuts. I cut out every single one I used so that you would have the same thing should you want them and not have the dies. :) So you get them in very vanilla and all the other colors!
***I also used the "wrong" chipboard album. I put a square top note in the kit when I actually used a plain 6x6 square album. I can easily change this out for you! :)

You can see a video HERE.

Have a great day guys!!

Kit Questions

I am putting some new kits together and I have a few questions for you. I would love your feedback...

What do you look for in a kit? What things HAVE to be included for you to consider a purchase? What are the most important items to you? Do you consider loads of embellishments, fibers, flowers, and "extras" strong selling points or simply icing on the cake?

Thanks for the feedback! I greatly appreciate it!!

Angie's Swivel Clasp

I participated in Regan (@ Emora Designs) "Vintage Valentine" Swivel Clasp Swap and got the wonderful Angie (@ MeriScrapper13) for my partner!

Here's the swivel clasp she created for me using mauves, purples, and pinks. LOVE IT!!

She also made me this gorgeous pincushion! LOVE IT!!

This is the swivel clasp I sent to her. I don't think it looks very "vintage" but she likes it and that's what matters to me! :)

IRL

So I am the lucky winner of two nights with Regan (of Emora Designs) and her family because I happen to be pretty much in the middle of where they were coming from and where they were going. Woo-hoo! Though there was no crafting to be done (GASP!!), we had a great time just hanging out. :) There were four little girls to look after but lucky for us, everyone got along.

AND, the icing on the cake? Mari (of YT: mnc512) got to join us for the day! So let me rephrase that: there were 6 little girls to look after but lucky for us, everyone got along! :)

Here's the photographic evidence:

 If we look tired, it's because we are! You try chasing after 6 kids all day! Plus, what you don't see is two or three of them breaking down in the floor in front of us. :)

Dearest Regan and Mari (and their families) - Thank you so much for spending the day with me! I had a great time and I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship! Love, Alycia
