Rustic mini album

I believe I mentioned that I had a bunch

of these sunflowers Holli stamped for me and

that you'd see more of it!!!

 I wanted to make a mini album as a gift for my pal Tobie

who is my boxbuddy for workouts.

And pulling all my papers out I didnt' really have a "theme"

going on. Not that a theme is necessary

it just helps when putting things together.

 In the process of trying to pull out papers and figuring things out,

I decided that in using the sunflower it really

wouldn't go with anything I had, but, I really wanted to use it

and then a lightbulb went off -

 Why did I have to cover up this chipboard with paper.

Hmmmm????

 A challenge!!!

 I did find some "rustic" cards, tried my hand at a "shaker"

we'll see how well that works LOL.

 Employed a bunch of stamps (fussy cutting), punches and buttons galore.

I really love how it turned out.

All the photo mats are 3.5x4.5 so if my pal uses

3x4 photos there's plenty of room even when I put 

embellishments near the mats.

Studio Calico stamps, various punches, Hero Art stamps, buttons

galore and cardstock.
