I am in the process of redoing my craft room, so I was surfing around today looking for ideas. Check out this cool blog I found. I am going to try to make those snow peeps!

Laura's Leprechaun Journal Part 3
Hi there! I am almost finished with the leprechaun mini, I only have one page and the back cover to finish. When I am done I will post the video. Here are the new pics:
Inside cover. if you click on the image, you can read the leprechaun poem.
The bird and nest are stamped on a transparency, with tags tucked behind.
The little book on the right comes off. It's held on the page with hidden magnets and is a little journal book to write in. I will show the inside when I do the video.
Photo/journaling mats
More photo/journaling mats.
On the left is a little envelope with a transparent front that I stamped on.
Gotta love Martha Stewart punches!

Laura's Leprechaun Journal Continued
I was able to do a little more on this mini over the last few days.
Here is the cover. I am pretty much done with it, but I may tweak it here and there.
I cut a long piece of felt that will serve as the book binding. It is hot glued to the cover in between the chipboard and cardstock. After the rest of the album is completed, I will determine how short to cut the binding before attaching it to the back cover.
I'm using this material to bind the chipboard pages of the book together.
Here I attached a 3 inch strip of the material to two pages, leaving a one inch gap between the two pieces of chipboard underneath.

Laura's Leprechaun Journal
Hi Everyone!
I am working on a new mini. I thought it would be kind of cool to post pictures of it as I work on it, to show you the process I go through. This album is for my daughter, Laura. She is OBSESSED with Leprechauns. She has had as many as 5 elaborate "traps" set up around the house and outside, trying to catch one. She sets out a trail of gold coins and Lucky Charms to lure them. I have to say, it has been working because she has caught two so far. I will post a pic of them if you are interested, lol! When I picked Laura up from school one day she begged me to take her on vacation to Ireland. She was so mad when I told her we couldn't go. Whatever happened to wanting to go to Disney?! I am making her this mini/journal to document her obsession. I know she will get a big kick out of it when she is older!
Here are the products that I am using to distress the cover.
The top paper is the before, and the bottom is after inking.
Here I heat embossed the edges. You can't really see it in the picture, but this really added a nice rough and dimensional surface.
Here is some of that Tim Holtz grunge board that I got at Tuesday morning. This stuff takes ink beautifully!
The cover is about half way finished. I will post more pictures as I go.
