Sweet Girl hybrid mini

This has been a long time coming.
I sound like a broken record (at least to me, anyways): I am a slow scrapper.
This mini has been in the works since October! So it deserves its own post.

Well, I printed all the pieces back in October. And even cut each piece out. But did not put it together until now. I used one of my favorite Kristin Cronin-Barrow kits, All About Her, available at Sweet Shoppe Designs.


As you can see, it fits in the palm of my hand. My favorite size for minis! I love the bronze-y chain I used for the binding. I saw it lying around on my bedroom dresser. I think it came from a clothes tag. Score!


This is how it looks splayed out. The pages for the album are journaling tags found in the digital kit. I just resized them. Added photos, text and elements.


I also printed elements separately and layered on top later. This gives the pages a little dimension. Flat pages are not very fun.


That pink "sisters" label is from an old Heidi Swapp kit. Remember when it was on sale at Costco for $19.99? I bought two and still have not used a quarter of it. What was I thinking?


Another way to add interest is to hand-write captions. I also ran some distress ink lightly over some of the edges of the pages.


My back cover. I layered a printed flower (from the kit) with a Prima silk flower.

So what's the longest you "worked" on a project?
