Playing along today with Stamping Ground's WOYWW. Nancy N, Timi, Judy and I visit Weston MO each year for their Christmas Open House. We're finally getting to our photos and creating a mini (?) book for our 2013 trip. This mini is actually 10.5" x 11" so not sure how mini it actually is but I suppose since it's less than 12x12 we can get by with the moniker. I'm enjoying working with this larger format as it's really getting me in the mood to create 12x12's again.
These beautiful Authentique papers are perfect for this super cold weekend spent in Weston.
We created the cover by breaking up a chipboard camera shaped album.
We bought one and divided it up between us.
The chicken wire background is from Gina's Designs.
We cut other chip to layer the *lens* of the camera
and used a Chomper to round the corners.
The antique optical lens finishes off the camera lens
and covers an Authentique cardinal sticker.
Tim Holtz Industrial Stickers finishes off the camera edges
with added TH Swivel Clasp and miscellaneous charms.
We will probably add more to the cover as we continue our
weekly creative sessions.
Interesting work desk, thanks for sharing. Happy WOYWW xx Jan (68)

Hi Nancy. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment. I'm glad you liked the Christmas canvas that I did for Heather and also for the Craft Hoarders challenge. Lord knows, I think I am the queen of hoarders. haha I love your mini book you did for the memories of your trip to Weston. It is so cute! Your work is always so lovely. Love the camera...that is so cool! I hope that things are going well for you. I think of you often. <3 CandyC
