For the love of minis

Anyone who knows my style (whatever that is) they know that I'm a mini book kinda gal.  Oh how I love minis!!  I love to add bulk, embellish it, make it messy, add a lot of pictures of an event or subject.  Here's a couple mini books that I created using Heidi Swapp Sugar Chic collection, Color Magic, Instaframes, Banners, Stix, Washi tapes, Trimmings and labels.  I also used Studio Calico wood veneers, FindingNana insta badges,American Crafts alphas, glimmer mists, Hambly Transparencies, stamps and my trusty silhouette.

We all know about the Instagram craze.  Are you addicted?  I am.  I have an iPhone and LOVE IT!!  Along with all the apps that's involved and how easily accessible it is.  Another great thing is I can get snapshots through my daughter's perspective from her iPhone.  How easy is it to capture our everyday.  It's so wonderful!  At the same time it means more pix to scrap!  My mini instagram book that I created over a month ago showcases our everyday snapshots through instagram and my iPhone.

Here's another reason why I love my phone!  My BFF created this collage out of all the inspirations at CHA winter in Anaheim.  There are apps where you can create collages with your photos ON YOUR PHONE.  AWESOME!  There are two collage apps that I use.  Photo shake and Frame Artist which I use Frame Artist the most and LOVE IT!  So I printed them out and using Heidi's wash tape I created a cascade.

 Thanks for stopping by.  Hope this inspires you to create mini books.
