Now you are 11 - things to do before you are 12 Mini Album

NOW YOU ARE 11 - THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOU ARE 12

Its all about Corrina today, and well this mini album has so much to look at that it deserves a whole posting to itself ...

This book is a celebration of my gorgeous daughter Jessica, and the things she has done and likes to do. It is chock full of all things bright and beautiful, just like her. I have used lashings of crackle paint and rock candy, inks, ribbons and flowers, chipboard and I have made my own word tiles using Making Memories Abby Words paper, chipboard, ink and rock candy. The butterflies are a free butterfly computer font printed onto cream cardstock, watercoloured then coated with rock candy, and the little chipboard croc head was hand cut, inked and coated with rock candy.

I just adore this idea Corrina and I am sure your DD will love looking at it for years to come.

My DD is turning 11 (thinks she is turning 21 more like!) in a few months so maybe, just maybe I might find the time to create an album her since you have inspired me so much by your album.

Have a great day everyone
