Some new projects I wanted to share

I'm discovering that it's hard to find the time to actually complete projects, let alone take pictures, upload them, blog about them, etc. but perhaps I'll get a little faster and better with practice.

I found a tutorial on making a mini album using a chipboard purse from Michael's dollar spot. It's by Marti of Pez-a-Doodle. Forgive me, but I do not know how to embed links yet. I'm hoping that you can google for the information if you want to copy it, or perhaps someone will tell me how to do the embedding.

Anyway, here are some pictures of my completed project. I did the first page on my own, but the rest was pretty much as Marti suggested in her tutorial. I really liked how she put the actual cut sizes for the Cricut so I didn't have to figure anything out on my own - well, just what paper to use! This was my first mini album and it took a VEEERRYYYYY long time to do. I'm not sure if it's lack of experience, or what, but I found it difficult figuring out papers and coordinating elements and all of that. I am very pleased with the final project, however, especially with such cute little subjects. :0) I hope I remember how to upload photos...
