Here we go

Well HI!  I'm finally putting together a blog to try to showcase my work as the mini album diva that I am!  When I say "diva", by no means do I mean it in a superior sense or way.  I just can't get enough of them!!  I am new to this, so the first few blogs may be a little off but I promise I will get the hang of it.

A little about me

I have been making scrapbooks since before I even knew it was a "thing".  (Maybe it wasn't back then, I haven't actually researched it.)  As I sit here with my awesome cup of coffee, brought to me by my man, I am reflecting on exactly why I love doing what I do, which is making mini albums.  I have always loved pictures.  Always.  I love taking them, being in them, editing them; I just love photography!  And then there is my love of paper!!  I love love love paper!!!  I have always loved school/office supplies, like notebooks, folders, pens, & mechanical pencils.  When I found scrapbooking supplies, oh my gosh, I just was over the moon excited!  I could spend (and do when I can) hours in just those 4 or 5 isles in Hobby Lobby or Michael's.  Oh, the possibilities of what you can do with all of the different choices of paper are endless!!!  And the creativity that I get to see now by the power of the internet and my new best friend, Pinterest, is just so ridiculously inspiring!!  

If you can't tell by my excessive use of exclamation marks that I love paper crafting, well then, just keep following me and you will see.  This weekend, I finished an album that I was making to put my daughter's VPK stuff in.  I will be posting pictures of it soon.  It is a vertical paper bag mini album.  I followed the tutorial from Ginger, My Sister Scrapper http://mysistersscrapper.com.  I found her on YouTube and there is not a project that she has done that I don't like.  She is incredible.  She is definitely one of my favorites.  A couple of my other favorites include Kathy Orta of Paper Phenomenon http://www.paperphenomenon.blogspot.com and Cassie Keith www.youtube.com/user/cassmay53able.  They all have amazing ideas and creations and very doable projects and tutorials.  

Last night, I used my 1st design to make a book.  I am decorating it now and may put it up if it turns out good.  We'll see.  I have a lot of mini's to display.  Most of them are for sale...that whole thing is in the works too.  I'm a work in progress, what can I say.  Thanks for visiting and stay tuned!  Have a happy and a healthy December 2nd.
