Prima packageing mini album.


Front Cover
Used a copy of the prima dress form printed and glued it on cardboard then ran thru embossing folder.
The papers are from a recent blog hop over at swirlydoos that I had won. I used what was left from the butterfly garden mini. This might be a very long post. Sorry!!! I will try to keep it quick.
the ruffle skirt is some trim I got at a yard sale. It is vintage. I printed some tags from online. The flowers are Prima. Use some rub-ons from prima. Blush rub-ons. I used different colors stickles. Rhinestones and gems. I made all the stick pins.


I tried to use as much as the packaging as I could from everything. Oh I forgot to mention this mini is for a contest over at MCS. We have to incorporate the prima packaging that the flowers and so on come in. They do make the cutest packaging. I ordered a berry bouquet from bluemoon scrap booking and used the packaging there as a tag. 
The ribbon that has prima collection is from the packaging that I got from Pam over at MCS. I won a contest and it went around the box of bottled flowers.


I wanted to be able to add as many photos as possible. So there are alot of tags behind the larger photo mats.
I purchased some punched swirls from a wonderful friend Gabi. You all I'm sure know her.


I also used several tags from 29th street market. I have been holding on to them and just know found a way to use them. The butterflies are stickers mounted onto clear transparency and cut out. Some Recollections bling.


The bird cage is just a pattern a friend had traced for me to use as a pattern. I traced and cut from the paper. I did two different one and attached them with a eyelet. I didn't get a photo but the top bird cage swivels to the side .


The back is for journaling.


More packaging from prima. It had the birds in it. I just cut a mat on the from and back and layed it into the rectangle and added a tag on from cover of it.


The back.


A lot of the sayings and things are cut from AMM expressions twill ribbon. I have had this for over five years and again found a way to now use it. The clear word tag at the top. I used the packaging that the two word came on by AMM also.


I had entered a tag swap with steffigal1 on youtube. And just couldn't wait to use some of my beautiful tags I received. The metal tag plates are from Makingmemories.

                                                       

The top  blue butterfly shape lifts up to add a photo under. I added a punch out fro the papers and just glued it to a large paper clip I purchased at Wal-mart on the clearance rack.


The inside. If you lift the oval you can add a photo under it as well as the from of it.


Also if you flip the oval over it has a journal spot.


I cut the fence from a pattern I have glued it to cardboard and ran thru an embossing folder.


The large flower is from the Christmas tree store in Mass. My friend sent me some last year. I used several different stamps from various places.


This book turned out wider then I planed. But love it. The back cover I left plane.


These are what some of the tags look like.
Thanks you so much for stopping by and taking a look. Again sorry for the long post too.
