We are switching things up a bit and will have a two month window for this challenge. You have all of November and December to play along. Our hardworking DT will take a break during December to enjoy time with family and friends, but we didn't want to limit your contributions in this period. We'd also like to take a moment to thank our dear Alison for her one year term with us. And we would like to welcome new DT member, Gina Hubbard. This month our designers have worked hard to bring you a great new selection of mini album tutorials. Without further ado... Jennie I was recently asked to design a mini album for Shetland Scrapbookers. The brief was a Book in a Pocket, but my design ended up as a Book in a Wallet ! I am using this small journal to record the details of my life over the past month - something I hope will be interesting to look back on in year's to come. Please do join me over at Live The Dream for more details. Gina This is a 9 by 11 inch folio that opens up to hold over 30 photos and some pop up surprises. Perfect for collecting the photos and memories from Christmas morning, this folio has a spot for everything. Please visit Gallery G to see more photos, some measurements and tips on creating this folio. Nancy Hop over to my blog and see my latest file folder album. Super quick and easy, especially when using cute pre-printed file folders. The possibilities are endless! Anne I wanted to use this beautiful Gypsy Soul Laser Cut, so I altered a plain journal with fabric to accommodate it. You can see more on my blog HERE. Autumn Inspired by our sponsor Graphic 45's second release of the 12 Days of Christmas paper line, I created a stitched fabric covered mini album, perfect for storing 4x6" photos. Join me at SewPaperPaint for the tutorial and closeups. ********************************************** I hope these peeks have sparked your imagination and you will pay the design team blogs a visit plus play along with our challenge, which ends at 11:55 pm EST on December 31.
