Hello Friends! alexandra here today to share with you the mini I made with Jenni Bowlin Studio mini March kit.
This kit is every scrapper's dream, from gorgeous cardstock, to stamps, all kinds of fun embellishments, acrylic paint, great ink pad, chipboard buttons, a whole alphabet, labels and of course the cutest storage box to tuck away your mini once you have finished it!
The kit:
There was so much goodness in that kit, I made three projects with it. The mini tucked away in the box of course but I also used part of the packagings that contained the buttons and tags to create two other projects: a "spring" mini (on the left) and a frame for my Lily's bedroom door (center).
Here is the mini I made about our last vacation in Florida:
Making this mini was easy peasy. I used the covers as template to cut more page in the mini and added all the tags, and "vintage looking" pockets that were included in the kit. I used PVA glue to adhere the cardstock to the covers.
I mostly used pictures taken with my iPhone (Hipstamatic) to decorate the mini and as you can see adding a couple of kraft paper bags allowed some of the tags to be tucked away.
On the picture below, we can see the title of the mini "Florida". I used the alphabet sticker sheet and loved the dimension of each letter, everything about Jenni Bowlin's products is so well thought-out in that way! I cut out the grey ticket (on the kraft bag) from one of the cardstocks that were included in the kit.
Here is a mosaic to give you an idea of the various pages in the mini:
This mini was made as a keepsake for my eight year old daughter Gallianne Lily. It was her first time by the ocean, her first time collecting seashells, seeing palmtrees, swimming in salty water! When I saw the adorable box the kit had I immediately thought it would make it complete to add the seashells and tokens she had collected with so much enthusiasm during our trip. In order to protect these from shocks I added a piece of beige wool felt at the bottom of the box.
Thank You very much! I hope to see you on my blog at art scrap & more to see more about the frame and the "Spring" recycled mini!
