Retro Fitted Mini Album

In June 2012, I joined the Paper Phenomenon (PP) Kit Club (KC).  There are now two PP KCs, the Everyday KC and the Holiday KC. I'm a member of both.  The June 2012 KC project was titled the "Retro Fitted Mini Album" and decorated using Simple Stories Summer Fresh Collection.

This was my first KC project and yes, I've only just got around to creating it now LOL.  I have many PP tutorials, I find Kathy Files a very talented person, and I love many of her projects but I would have to say that this project, the Retro Fitted is in my top five.  There are two reasons for that, a) it was my first KC project and b) it is a project that combines the love of mini album making, with hidden pockets but the pages allow you to create standard traditional scrapbook layouts if that is what you would like to do.  However, I still have about 15 projects to make so maybe when I get through making more this may drop down my list. If you are after an interesting mini album tutorial then this one is definitely worth considering.

Here are some photos of each of the pages:

A Year in Review - Simple Stories Year-o-graphy

Hi fellow crafters, earlier this year I made the "Year in Review" album and box as designed by Kathy Orta from Paper Phenomenon.  I  had heaps of fun making this album and absolutely love the Simple Stories Year-o-graphy paper.

Once again this project was just so I can show case the pretty papers. I do not plan on putting any photos into this album, though it is a functional album.  I also love glitter, so the box I made to house the album has lots of glitter on it. Might be a bit much for those of you who watch the video, but I love it :-)  Enjoy the video and thanks for watching.

Cheers FiLoMa
