Workshop Coffee Filter Mini Album - Part 1.

By
As promised - here are some pics of what we did today at my workshop.

We made today a 'Coffee Filter Mini Album'. That is - we took some coffee filter bags and covered them top and bottom. This made a pocket into which we inserted some tabbed file pages ready to be journaled. These are the first six finished pages of my album - I will show you the reverse side tomorrow.
I used some Cosmo Cricket scrap book pages and inked the edges with some Distress Inks. The embellishments are all Cosmo Cricket as are the words and ribbon.
So the pictures are (from top left) - my Great Gran Rose, my Grandma Hilda - both of these ladies are no-longer with us, and my Mum and Dad on their wedding day. Bottom left - me as a baby (eek!) me on my wedding day and my two children
This is such a fun project to do and next week at my Thursday night workshop we will be making Paper Bag Albums - can't wait. See you soon - Jacqueline xx.

So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
