Mommy's Little Monkey

I love this LO.

I have 3 little boys and I am always calling them my little monkeys. When I had the baby I think everything that he wore had monkeys on it. When I was this paper I knew that I wanted to make a LO with my youngest. I hope you like it. 

This was so hard to pop up. I should have cut it a little bigger.

Tin box mini album Cover/ page 1

My little cousin passed away this week and I wasn't able to go home to the funeral. I wanted to do something that would help her little girl remember her mother. I made this little mini album of some of the photos of the 4th of July. They let Becca go for the day so she could spend it with her daughter. I am very proud of this album and I hope that it is something Alli can look at when she get older. I hope she can look at the photos and see how much her mother loved her.

Recipe:

Paper roses/leaves are recollections

Patterned paper is from SU

Letter are cut @ 1" from the storybook cartridge.

I used the Tim Holtz distressing toy and distressed the outside of the patterned paper. 

Also used my Hot glue gun, glue dots (didn't hold very well) and my ATG.

The accordion album itself was cut from real red SU cardstock. I got the measurements from a tutorial online. I went back to get the name and I couldn't find it again. I will continue to look.
You will need 2 pieces of 9 1/2 X 5 1/8 paper and 1 piece of 9 X 5 1/8 paper for the base.
I then scored it every 4 1/2 inches using the Martha Stewart score board.

My project for today is a little notebook that I made using Index cards and my Bind it All. I love making these. they are super easy and you can use them for anything.

I am hoping that this helps me out a little bit this year. :)
