Make It Monday #63 : Glitter Die Cuts

Happy Sunday everyone. I finally got some time in my craft room this weekend. And when I say time, I mean I had 20 glorious minutes all to myself. So I needed to bang out a project super fast. I wanted to take on the PTI MIM challenge - glitter die cuts.


Hope y'all had a great weekend. We spent the weekend with family and friend. And we couldn't be more blessed!!

Challenge: Think Happy! (happy birthday, something that makes you happy, a happy thank you - really anything): Use green, a stamp (I am not going to specify whether it's an image or a sentiment), and ribbon!
The challenge will run for the whole month. Participants must comment on all of our blogs during the hop AND participate in the challenge if they want to win the prize: May's KIT!!! Please encourage the hoppers to buy the April Kit from SPS and participate in the challenge in order to win May's kit! We'll announce the winner on the SPS blog during the hop the following month. Using the April kit is not necessary to enter the challenge, but if they use it they will get a double entry into the drawing!

This is my take on the challenge. I knew I had to make a flip and fold mini album with this kit. The papers were just shouting to be put into album form. I can't wait to fill this little mini with some spring pictures of the kiddos.

Front cover of the album. Don't you just love the butterfly embellishments.

First page : I stamped the word "happiness" on every spread.

Because the album measures 3"x6" it is so easy to cut a 6x6 sheet in half and use it for the background.

Aren't these papers just gorgeous!!

I hardly needed to embellish the pages because they are so pretty.

Back of album labeled "2012".

Each of the three inside pages have a pull out tag for journaling.

Here are all three journaling tags.
