Today I have another NEW Mini Album to share with you all which again has been made to go on sale in the market night. I will put all the info about this at the end of the post.

Now let's take a look at the mini album

The mini album front cover is interactive. The cards on the front can be moved to you can stack them all behind the top card or fan them out like pictured or fan them out the other way. This also means youc an move each card to take a proper look at the one behind.

Now for the inside of the album

Doesn't this album look awesome. I absolutely love this one and it is going to be hard to part with it but it has been specially made for the market night so I need to let it go hehe.

The mini album is approx 5x5 inches square and features a mixture of top quality designer series papers, card stock and the cover is made from chipboard. On the inside there is some flips and pockets with inserts.

The album can hold 18 3x4 inch photographs and a few other smaller size photographs, you can also add some little keepsakes inside the album, do some journalling what ever you like to make it your own.

Spellicious Tall Envelope Mini Album

Hi all

Today I have a new product make to share with you all which I have made for a Halloween/Samhain market night I am honoured to be taking part in. 

Here is one of two mini albums I have made for this event

On the front cover I have used some beautiful ephemera which is apart of the Spellcast range which matches the papers I have used for this album. I have also added on some stunning handmade flowers by Petal Lu and a lovely latch.

When the album is opened up this is how it looks

Now lets take a look inside this album

As you can see some of the stunning papers in this album have beautiful gold foiling on them and I have to admit my favourite papers out of this range are the rose and spider web paper and the moths, the pictures really do not do these papers justice.

The album features some flip out parts which are maginatized and each part has an insert so there is even more room to add your pictures, journal-ling, keepsakes or what ever you like. It would make a lovely Spell Mini Album to keep them safe.

This album will be available to be purchased in the Halloween/Samhain Market night 

Here is where you will find the Market Night. I hope you will join us and take a look at all the stunning handmade creations which are up for sale for this event.
