Paper Issues + Becky Higgins Project Life BLOG HOP!


1081908_566853080042537_1469075540_n


Hello Hello Happy Sunday!  It's a new issue today with Paper Issues and Becky Higgins was kind enough to send us the Kraft Collection of Project Life to play with.  You should be arriving from Evelin's blog and be sure to stop by Paper Issues to start at the beginning if not!

I have lots of left over cards from collections and I thought a fun idea would be to use them in a mini album.  So I pulled out this 3 ring binder by Maya Road and got to work with 4x6 and 3x4 cards.

I used wood veneer accents by Studio Calico to mix in with vellum and wood papers by American Crafts and Creative Imaginations.

    I love everything about your mini. It's a great way to use PL cards that don't make it into the PL binder. I like anything with gold and wood grain but never thought of using them together. You can bet I will from now on!
