"Unusual" Mini Album Blog Hop

Good morning!!  Welcome to the Unusual Mini Album Blog Hop... hosted by Scrapbooking Technique.  First off I want to thank, Christine Cooper Hatchell, for inviting me to be a part of this.  I love mini albums, because they are just too easy and lots of fun me make.  They make the perfect gifts.  If you arrived here from Jess Kinderstampo www.kinderstampo.com , then you are in the right place, if not you will want to start at the beginning with Christine www.scrapbookingtechnique.blogspot.com . 

So I decided to feature two mini albums.  The first one is made out of toilet paper rolls.  I took some Tim Holtz Distress inks and cover the rolls, then just decorated them with some scraps I had in my stash.  I used some of KinderStampO Vintage findings, brass charms (which I love).  lots and lots of ribbon and some other metal charms.  This mini was inspired by the journey that I am on now.  I wanted to share with you all how much my life has changed since I started working out and just living a healthier lifestyle.  So you will see a lot of pics of me, okay here it is....





















I use my Cinch to bind the album together.  I have to say this is my favorite tool to use for binding.  There are a total of 16 pics in this mini album.  So for my second mini album I wanted to show off this mini I made a while back, I hate to say this but I don't remember when I left the instructions on how to make it.  I  am so sorry.  But I still wanted to share it with you all.  Here it is.














The Album opens up and looks like a merry go round.  It is held open by two magnets on each end of album.  I have featured this mini back when I first made it, so I am think I will look back and try to find the instructions.  For now I hope you have enjoyed the pics.  Okay, so now for some blog Candy!!!  I will be giving away a QuicKutz Embossing folder School or fall theme "Apples"  This folder can be used with any die cutting or embossing machine.  perfect for your A2 Cards.  All you have to do is leave a comment and a way for me to reach you.  I will pick a winner on the 24th of August.  You don't have to be a follower but if you like what you see, I would love to have you follow my blog.

Now on to your next stop which is Tiara www.imacraftysista.blogspot.com , I have included the complete line up in case you get lost.  I hope you have enjoyed my mini's.  Thank you for stopping by and have a Great weekend.

    Both mini albums that I have been wanting to try. My hubby thinks I'm a hoarder due to my theft of empty toilet paper rolls! I've seen the circle one before - not sure if it was here, since I'm already a follower, or if it was somewhere else. Either way, it's too freaking cool. And I just loved your first one. What a great memento to have of your journey. Oh! Please don't include me for your giveaway - I don't have any cutting/embossing machines so it would be a waste to include me. :)

    I loved your albums! Loved the tiles you used for your title on the toilet paper roll! And I love that you colored the rolls with T!m Holtz inks! It's amazing what you've accomplished on your journey to a healthier life style! Keep up the good work! And I look forward to seeing other things you create :)

    I love both of your albums, Martha! You are really looking great too! The new "do" looks great on you. I saw a mini similar to your second one somewhere not long ago and it was really cute too... the pages were made to look like rooms in a house. Keep up the great work!

    Okay Martha, now you've really done it! I need to pay attention and be inspired by your creativity and your motivation to be fit and healthy! I've started a journey on doing so also and now you've got me excited about it. Love your mini album showing your journey, and I love the 'merry go round' book...I would love to CASE it if you find the instructions! Have a fab day!
