Cuttlebug Challenge #49 Mini Albums

The Birthday Celebration over on Cuttlebug Challenge continues!!! I have had sooooo much fun with this! What a great idea to challenge us to put together an entire birthday party!!! I had an incredibly exciting time putting together my Mini Album. It was so fun to use the Dustin Pike images. I colored them with the Bic markers using the Copic blending technique that my wonderful friend show me how to do over the weekend. Lets just say I must go back and redo my invitation. You'll notice I already redid the Birthday Card. Ok now that I've gushed I will tell you what I did. I took a paper grocery sack and cut it a little bigger than the size I wanted and wadded it up and just made a ball out of it. I then ironed it. It still wasn't exactly how I wanted, so I ran it though the Cuttlebug a couple of times with no folder just a piece of foam. I glued the little button on the front and put the elastic between the layers on the back. There is cardboard in the middle of the cover and the back. I used my favorite folder for this project which was the Houndstooth. All of the paper used on this project came from DCWV Photo Pictures 2. I tied the album together with twine loosely to keep it within my theme
