Sharing Some Projects

It's only been a couple of days and I have things to share!!

I have completed two items that I had set out to finish, I didn't have them on the "Projects" list because they were almost done when I put up the list.
But here they are to share!

First, I had given myself the challenge to make a mini album.
I have been enjoying different video tutorials online and have been wanting to make one, so I did.

I made it really small, it's only 3 1/4 square, I thought by making it small I wouldn't use too many supplies.
I also was inspired to make it that small by a set of cards I had gotten at Michaels and I thought they would work well in the mini.
As I was working on it I wasn't happy with how it was coming along and I did end up making a few small errors that the next time around I will be sure to not do.
But as the time went on and I was getting close to finishing it I started getting happier with it. I do like how it ended up and I like it so much that I am giving it to one of my friends who could use a cute little gift to cheer her up!

My other project was a while in the making.
On a previous post; a long while back, I had shared that I had completed our Paris vacation scrapbooks.
The vacation took place in 2008. We took over 3,000 photos.
The trip has been captured in 7 scrapbooks!

Silly, I know. But hey, we had a fantastic time and I wanted to document as much of it as possible.
Later I realized that seven scrapbooks is a lot to ask someone to look through, especially in an informal setting, so I decided to make an 8x8 "best of" mini album.
It has been lingering in my "to finish" items for a while now and I challenged myself to get it done, so...as of an hour ago...I finished it!!
On the back cover is an index; of sorts, to direct people to which of the seven large scrapbooks to look at to see more about specific places of the trip, that is if they want to know more...

So...two projects down...I'm off to go get more done.
Thanks for peeking in!
