"Unusual" Mini-Album Blog Hop!

Happy Weekend!
Welcome to the "Unusual" Mini-Album Blog Hop!
I am so excited about this hop today... it is the first time that I have ever hosted a hop and it is showcasing some fabulous and "unusual" mini-albums!
There are some very talented ladies in this hop, so make sure you go to each of their blogs to see their take on the theme: "Unusual" Mini-Albums...
...make sure you leave some love on each and every blog to be entered to win a fantastic prize package that I will be giving away!!!

Here is my "Unusual" mini-album:
I made a mini-album using all my packaging from my Prima flowers that I have bought! It is a little inspirational quote book filled with pockets, tags, flowers, and more! I used various stamps, paper from Memory Box, and lots & lots of ink!



The tag that slides out of the pocket is Prima Packaging.

The pocket was made from Prima packaging as well as the two tags in it...

I love this page... it was created using the clear packaging that Prima uses... and it has all kinds of inspirational word on it too! I created a pocket to slip things in... and that black polka-dot paper = Prima Packaging!








The picture above & below is the tag that slips into the pocket that was created by adhering the sides of two pages together...


Packaging comes in all different sizes, shapes, and colors... most of it is super cute and can make really awesome embellishments. So think twice before throwing away that packaging next time!

Are you ready to hop???
Your next stop is the very talented Lou over at Pretty Paper & Chipboard.

If you get lost along the way, just come back here and find your place!
Here is the line up:

Happy Hopping!

  3. Beautiful. I often look at packaging and think I should create something with it. Some of it is as pretty as what comes inside. Great job!

  28. Fabulous mini! When I saw this hop on one of your participant's blogs, I knew I had to hop. Minis are my favorite things to make next to cards and the thought of some new ideas just tickled me pink! LOL You did a wonderful job on this one and I love that you reused your packaging to make it. I reuse/recycle as many things as I can and it gives me satisfaction to know that a lot of my "trash" won't end up in a land fill. Thanks so much for hosting this awesome hop! I'm already a follower but if I wasn't I would be after seeing this!
