back to the drawing board

just a couple of projects i put together this week to give to my little sister. i used my slice to cut the flower from fabric and then tried out machine applique for the first time - i have no idea if i did it correctly - but it does look ok from a distance! and the mini album is just a bunch of random papers and envelopes with a few rubons and tags thrown in as well.

i'm not a scrapbooker - in case you hadn't noticed - but i'm going to pretend like i am one for this project. i know i'm about 6 months behind schedule on this, but i'm just proud of myself for getting it done  - well not yet done, but in progress. cover is done and first page is done, so that's definite progress. the plan: do a page each day. at this rate the mini-album will be all done some time next week. so stay tuned - i'll update with more photos as the project moves along.
