Saturday Step x Step: When Pigs Fly Mini Album with Olde Curiosity Shoppe

Hello, Friends!  What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?  Winter can be such a dreary time, but it is also a great time to hunker down in the studio and create!  I have a really whimsical Saturday Step x Step project to share with you today.  It will keep you so busy and happy in your crafty space that you care what the weather is doing!  In our recent "Winter Hues" challenge I created this sweet little mini album.

I'm back today with another mini made in the same way, only this time I've added a fun vintage/steampunk vibe to it by using Graphic 45's fabulous Olde Curiosity Shoppe Deluxe Collector's Edition.

I titled this one "When Pigs Fly" and it is just chock full of whimsy.  It's sort of a mini album inside a mini album, and loads of fun to create.





The base is created with medium or heavy weight chipboard and a Sticky Back Canvas Spine.  Isn't it fun?

Here's a YouTube Video Tour of the album.



       


The inside of the album has fun pocket pages made with Tammy Tutterow's fabulous Mini Paper Bag Envelope Die.  I've die cut photo mounts using the insert that comes with the die and tucked those inside each pocket page.  And let me tell you, that insert die is just the perfect size to create mats for each paper bag page in the album.

I hope you'll be inspired to create this chunky little album using lots of different designs.  Enjoy this Snapguide tutorial and then go craft those winter blues away!


Thanks so much for joining me here today!
Cheerio,
kathy

Winter Hues

Hi! Suzz here. Welcome back to Week Two of our latest challenge here at Frilly and Funkie. The weather this time of year in the Midwest gets to be a bit chilly, icy, snowy and overcast. These elements of the season create a beautiful palette of colors which I am calling Winter Hues. This challenge requires you use any or all of the following colors: blue, white, silver, gray in your vintage or shabby chic project.

The team will choose their top four picks with the winner being invited to join us in a Guest DT spot here at Frilly and Funkie and the next three will receive badges to display on their blogs. Everyone who enters and follows the rules will be entered into the draw to have the chance to win a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique.

The guidelines for entering are simple; create a new vintage or shabby chic project following the challenge theme, link it below to your post (not just your blog) and also include a link back to this challenge in your post. You can combine our challenge with up to 10 challenges (including this one) to be in with a chance of winning. If you are entering through a public forum (such as Instagram) you'll need to include the words Frilly and Funkie Challenge. Also, please be sure to turn off your Word Verification so our Design Team can leave comments on your blogs. Make sure you follow these rules as unfortunately we have had to eliminate entrants from the prize draws in the past.

Here is some amazing inspiration from the Funkie side of the Design Team;
