Today is ‘Any Shape’ day so I decided to share with you a mini-album project I created for my Extravaganza presentation at the Close To My Heart Convention in July. I used the Pear & Partridge collection I was assigned…with a twist.

This is one of the features of the Cricut Artiste Collection that I LOVE! The entire album (cover & pages) are on ONE key, the ‘l’ key featured on pg. 59 of the Cricut Artiste Handbook. You can find THREE keys that feature mini albums!

I only used the Olive B&T Duo paper from the Pear & Partridge paper packet along with Cranberry, Lagoon, Smoothie & White Daisy cardstock.

I cut the entire mini album at 3” as recommended in the handbook. I decorated the album with other Artiste images like the snowflake found on pg. 79 and ‘merry christmas’ found on pg. 80. As you can see, I cut off the ‘merry’.

Did you notice that glittery tape? It’s CTMH’s *NEW* Silver Shimmer Trim. Love this stuff so much!

Here is what is so fabulous about THIS mini album…the inside pages progress in length and all have different edges!

I used the Cork Alphabet for my numbers and covered them our *NEW* Exclusive Inks Mini Pigment Pads in the Adventure Collection (Cranberry & Lagoon). I used a heat gun & a ittle baby powder to set the ink.

This mini album was so much fun to create! I’ll be sharing more pages during the month, so don’t forget to check back!
