For the Birds Square Mini Album

Stampers Sampler

My jaw hit the floor when I opened the latest Somerset Place blog post.  I have been giddy all week about my cards being published in the latest Stampers Sampler, but seeing my pages being used for advertisement sent me over the moon.  Head on over and check it out for yourself HERE.  The post has a giveaway too, so it will be worth your efforts.  :)

I have been wanting to share this mini album with you all for ages.  The cards that were published came from a play day with my favorite two stamping buds, my mom and our friend Barbara.  We got together and had a great day of creating working on bird themed mini albums.

Album1

Each page is an envelope made from mostly Authentique 2-sided papers.  Sadly, I thought all of the dressed birds were Character Constructions stamps and Stampington printed my error.  The long beak bird is CC, but the other dressed birds are by Invoke Arts and can be found in their Etsy shop HERE.  These are my absolute favorite stamps, but belong to Barbara.

album 2

Each page has a pull out.

album 3

album 4

album 5

This was a $1 stamp I picked up from Joann's.

album 6

album 7

The bird came from BoBunny paper, I believe.  This paper is Kaiser Kraft, my favorite all time collection.

album 9

album 10

The chair is Character Constructions for sure.

album 13

Making these little stamping collages is one of my favorite things to do.  It's such a great way to use up bits and pieces and show your stamps some love!

After I made the book, I was still wanting to do more, so I made the batch of cards that were published.  Thanks so much for visiting me today and celebrating with me!  <3

Next I need to make a cover for my book.  Wish me luck!

Well done Autumn, it does give you a real buzz doesn't it. The worse part is always waiting to be able to share.

In answer to your question, I wish, but I am lucky that the boss is hubby and the office is right across the courtyard so I sneak in a fair bit of extra crafting when the heat is on for such as TV shows.
