LADYBUG MINI ALBUM


This is a LADYBUG MINI ALBUM I made for a friend's granddaughters.
I based it on 3 mini albums I found on youtube.com
harrisjcarolyn made the most adorable mini, and it really inspired me to from start to finish.
pinkaboo6691 and aqtnsd, also made mini albums and offered great tips.
I was suprised that there weren't more in this theme.
My Version: 
-The face w/ the eyes is actually a movable page . I had to separate it from the body on the back of the mini, because it was easier to bind it this way.
-The purses are my fav, they even have hanging charms.
-The jar was fun to make with acetate. Of course, it flaps open for picture placement, as do all  of the cutouts.
-On the backside, there's a pouch that's hand sewn. It holds a music button inside of the red ladybug & it plays "Jesus Loves Me".

Disney Pixar "CARS" Birthday Card on Track

This is a birthday card I made using Disney Pixar "CARS" cartridge.
I had to make a stand for the front end, and it is simply the track with a few slits in it.
The stand on the back was traced from a purchased card stand.
It slips in a tiny pocket I added on the back end.
This allows the card to be disassembled and stored flat...separate from the track.

-The car is McQueen2 pg 32, cut at 6"H.
-Track is from Cars cart and welded on Gypsy.
-Happy Birthday is from Martha Stewart Elegant Cake Art cart pg. 37.
-Font is from Martha Stewart Elegant Cake Art cart, and is called "Dinner At Eight".
-Black posterboard was  used to make track.
-Yellow posterboard was used to make card base.
-Cardstock, Glimmer Mist, Stickles, pop-dots, red-liner tape, & Tacky Glue.
