Hello Eclectic Card

I've had this card partially finished for quite awhile. I wanted to try my hand at the "eclectic" style and loved how it was coming along...but adhering that die cut was holding me up. (I was just nervous about getting glue all over the card instead of under the die cut where it belonged.)

It all was okay in the end, and I love how the card turned out:

Love U Mini Album

Today I wanted to share with you the cover of a mini album I created. I haven't added any pictures to the inside of the book yet, but I had a lot of fun doing the cover.

For this album I cut my own covers from chipboard, then covered it with a vintage ledger paper and some various embellishments. The houndstooth on the bottom is fabric (FabRips from American Crafts) - it's the first time I've used FabRips and I love how easy it is to work with! It's already sticky on the back, so the pleating was simple to do. I cut some various patterned papers for the pages inside and bound it all together with my Cinch. 

Thanks for stopping by today!
