I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE mini-albums..

But I love shaped albums that much more...  So my love affair with Accucut began...

Here are a few of BOTH my upcoming classes (Scrap4Less, Colorado Springs), and the Accu-cut GrandeMark Challenge wish me luck...

First is "Home is Where the Heart is..." Accu-cut Door die - I originally did this for March of Dime silent Auction at our office, but in the back of my mind knew I would be submitting for the GrandMark Challenge and class prep...

 In class we are going to learn to do the FAUX wood grain - using the wood grain tool - SICKNESS...!

 There are banners, and pennants throughout the album...

 I used Tim Hotlz Tattered Florals, Recollections and I AM Roses...
I have no loyalty when it comes to flowers...

 LOVE, the "LOVE" banner...  SU punch...

 The acytate page is hard to see, but there is a border for the tags to rest in, when there are pix on both sides it will be so much better..  I need my children to send me "FAMILY" pix...  Hint, hint...

 An envie for tucking family memorabilia...  

What constitutes "family" memorabilia...  Hair, teeth... we better leave it at that... BUAHahahahaha....

"LIFE'S A BEACH" ain't that the truth... well it is when you are on the beach...!!!  Used the Accucut Pail Die, this one is a 10 on FUN FACTOR, and easy-peasy.  I used more paint vs paper...

 "Life's a Beach" stamp is a generic stamp that I have had forever and finally got to use...

 I may have mentioned in other posts that I have a glue gun, and I know how to use it...

 Glued the shells and sea grass to the acetate cover.

 Stickers to hide where I hot glued :)

 On the catamaran in MAUI...

 rock beach

 the flip flop clip will only be included in the kit to the first 10 people that sign-up, 

that should help drive sales - heehee

 and as always my feet...

 Just had to add a little "Cricut" to the mix...

 Had fun painting, and embossing the waves all different...

and here is a glimpse of some of my minis...

wish me luck in the Accucut GrandeMark Challenge...
