I started this mini "nightmare" about two months ago. I thought the idea of a mini album was so great I went out and bought two little albums. I stared at the first one for a few days and wound up giving it away as blog candy and then attempted this "Love" one. I worked forever on it and then stuffed it into a drawer. I would take it out, add to it, stuff it back in. Oh lord, why do the mini's hate me so?? I tried really, I did. I finally just added some fluff to the rings and called it a day. If you are a follower you will recall I sent Rhonda at Scrap Happens some mini's I got from a Maya Road Mystery box. I love them really I do, they just hate me. (Rhonda,you may be getting more, I ordered a "mystery box" from Cosmo Crickett-I never even used their products but I am a sucker for a mystery box and darn that Kassidy from Inking it Up for posting it on FB!) Anyway, I am attempting an easy square mini now.(I will not let them bring me down!!!)So far, so, so....lol
I am entering this into

Blogger was giving me problems tonight so I am off to bed!!
This is so sweet! Rhonda got me hooked on making mini albums, I have no idea what I am doing but I just love sticking and glueing and adding fun things together! It also forces me to use my scraps and embellishments!
ReplyDeleteWhere are you getting these mystery boxes...
