Hey Roadies! It's Melissa here, and I am so excited to be sharing with you, one of the last (but not least!), projects I created for this past Winter CHA. I wanted to create a mini-album just for me...something to represent my love of crafting in its so many different forms. I'm sure you can relate!
Now, I love being creative artistically, just never mind the fact I'm not too terribly creative verbally, as represented by my title, "heart to craft." Haha! I used the 4" Canvas Binder, which was so cool, because it also came with canvas pages! I also went crazy with my cover...grabbing different Maya Road chipboard alphabets, a cut piece from the Scallop Frames Chipboard (to make my large "C"), a selection of some Trinket Blossoms, the new Large Ric Rac, Vintage Wood Tiny Ruler, Pink Vintage Tape Measure Trim, and finally, fun Maya Road trims from the ribbon collection.
I jam packed my album with goodies, so much so, it couldn't stay closed. Aren't those kinds of mini-albums just the best?!
But I'm sure you're ready to some of the inside, right?!
My "homemade" page on the inside cover...because everything is better homemade. I used one of my favorite Maya Road stamp sets, Cute as a Button. I love this stamp set! (You've seen me make a card with this one before ;))
The next page representing my trinkets nearest and dearest to me...love my ever-growing vintage stash.
And I could NOT go without including one of the new Vintage Burlap Treasure Bags here. Just dressed it up a bit and it's ready to tuck away the savory-est of treasures. :)
And on the backside, my other love of cameos. I swear, I fall hook, line, and sinker into any trend flung at me...but cameos have really stuck.
LOVE that new Vintage Wood Bird stamped with the new Houndstooth Singleton stamp. It came out sooo beautifully!
And finally, a very distant hobby, but still so near to my crafting, is sewing. Ok, I mainly do sewing on my projects, but it's still sewing!! :)
And that is it....so far. Always more room to add on.
So what would you include in your Craft album? I bet there is much more to be included in something so near and dear to you too! Please feel free to share your creations on the Maya Road Facebook page, I would love to see. :)
GORGEOUS!!!! You are living my fantasy life! Every little Maya Road detail is perfect!!
