It's my party- 3D project-

Usually when I hear 3D project I think mini album. I love to scrapbook but have a hard time scrapping an entire event in large format. I have an attention problem sometimes. LOL! This is where the mini Albums come in.

In a short amount of time I completed an album of Jena's first year of dance. Because they are so quick they are also easy to mass produce. I will be making 5 more of them all the same as this. One for each grandparent and one for me. The one in the picture is for Jena when she gets older.

This shows the first layer when the top is lifted off. I included one of the dance tickets from the Saturday matinee. The feathers used were from the hair piece...... and random ones that still surface in the house.

The center square was stamped with the outline flower from "Flower Frenzy" (one of our new releases that will be available on the 26th) In the corner I stamped the " Spin and twirl little ballerina girl" from tu-tu-rific.

On the right side I printed a 2.5" x 2.5" square with the title "It's My Party" That was the song they danced to . It was toooooo adorable!! I stamped the ballet slippers from "Tu-Tu-rific" in Pixie pink in the center to add some color.

The bottom square includes my absolute favorite photo!! I added a punch tab and stamped tu-tu-riffic. Seeing a trend here? LOL!

I will post more pictures of the other layers tomorrow. I have way to may to post them all today. I will also be back Monday with detailed instructions on how to make your own exploding mini album.

Stamps: Little Paper Shop-Floral Frenzy, Tu-Tu-rific
