beauty is everywhere.

i love when i am able to just play and create and remember.

that is exactly what this little mini book was for me.

time to just play, enjoy, create and remember some of my recent favourite photos.

let's face it….life is tough. busy. stressful. going going going.

so i just wanted to create a little album where i could just forget about all that "stuff" and remember, refocus and just relish in the moments that REALLY matter.

so i created this super cute mini album out of some cardboard that i had stashed away and papers from the heidi swapp september skies collection.  you may also notice some beautiful NEW stickers now available at hobby lobby that i had the best time incorporating into my pages and cover.  seriously this "beautiful" sticker is GORGEOUS.  the colour, the glitter, the quality of it.  absolutely a must have for any project.

to create my cover, i simply cut 2 pieces of cardboard into 4 x 9 inches and covered it with this beautiful paper called "meadow bloom" from september skies.  this paper is probably one of my favourites from the entire collection.  i love how the colours pop against the gold.  i then added another sticker "see beauty everywhere" on the cover as well.  you may or may not recognize these stickers as they were first available as part of heidi's "vintage chic" collection a few years back.  well….now these stickers are making a reappearance and let me tell you, i could not be happier! i have always LOVED these little beauties.  i was so excited to incorporate these into my mini and alongside september skies.  you can get these stickers (as well as a ton of others) at hobby lobby now!

here is a peek into my inside pages.  i had fun keeping things simple.  adding some ephemera pieces, using my sewing machine to add some stitching and layering papers. love.

i love this page.  that camera is one of my favourite september skies ephemera pieces and i love how it looks on the vellum.  i punched some little hearts, stitched them on and then added another label sticker below. super cute.

love the september skies washi!

hope you are able to find some of those new stickers! they are the BEST!
