Happy Saturday! It's the beginning of a Holiday weekend and I'm sure you all have lots of fun things planned, so I won't take up much of your time. ;) I just have a quick and easy project to share with you that I created using the May kit from Artful Delight. It's a cute little altered notebook, which is the perfect size to throw in your bag or purse. I made one of these back in March for myself and offered to make one for my best friend Cathy, who loved the idea! Since she's a huge lover of Spring and Summer colors, this month's kit was the perfect choice to use for hers...

Sadly, May's kit has already sold out, so I hope you grabbed one up if you were wanting one! June's kit has been revealed though and is available for preorder here, and let me tell you, it is fabulous!!! I can't wait to dig into mine. ;)

Teeny Tiny Albums (Artful Delight)

Good morning!!! Could the title of my post be any cuter?? ;) I was going to just put mini albums up there, but what I've got to show you today is much smaller than a normal mini album, so teeny tiny it is. There are 3 of them which were all created using the May kit from Artful Delight...







Supplies USed From The Artful Delight May Kit: Echo Park Summer Days Paper - Big Dots, Borders, Quilt, Red/Green, Blue/Orange, Yellow/Purple; Bazzill White Cardstock
Other Supplies Used: Colorbox chalk Ink - Chestnut roan; Craft Smart Ink - Chocolate Brown; Ali Edwards Stamp Sets - It's In The Details, Adored By Ali & Loving Words; We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile; Martha Stewart Butterfly Punches; Fiskars Circle Punch; Marvy Circle Punch; Recollections Flower; Misc. Buttons

Aren't they just adorable?? I am so loving making these! One of them is 4" x 3" and the other ones are 3" x 2 1/2". The perfect size for a small album to tuck into your purse and have with you whenever you need it. There are 20 pages inside each album, which have been stamped with various stamps that go along with each of the covers. I think it's a fantastic idea and I've already started on 5 more themes! And talk about having TONS of choices for paper from this kit! I loooove all the bright colors and amazing patterns. :)

I hope you're inspired to try making a teeny tiny album yourself. I promise that once you start, you won't want to stop...they are fun! Also, make sure you grab a May kit to work with while you're at it...you'll love it!
