Shellye here today with a Friday Greetings to our sensational

blog hop with Petaloo.  I've been a Petaloo fan pretty much

 since it's inception, so I was pretty much ecstatic when it 

was announced that we would be creating with 

Enchanted & Petaloo!

I love a mini. 

 I just get a kick out of starting with a blank album, 

covering it with pretty paper and then embellishing it to the

 hilt with fun stickers, ribbons and embellishments. 

 It makes this girl *happy!*

I started with a scrolled album from KaiserCraft, which I

 covered in different patterned papers from the 

Enchanted Collection.

The front cover, to me, is like designing a card.  

You want the WOW factor...you want to invite people

into your album :) So I always spend a little more time

 trying to get the cover just right.  I layered a couple of

 different sizes of ovals (covered in Enchanted) and

 then embellished with the totally  adorable ghost and 

spider from Petaloo's Mummies Dazzlers and

 flowers from FloraDoodles Mixed Blooms-Sienna 

 and Black Beaded Peonies.

Using Authentique's cardstock sticker shapes and sentiments

makes mini album making fun and easy!

Velvet Hydrangeas?  Yes, please!

Black velvet just screams Halloween...and Elvis paintings

(sorry, I couldn't resist!)

I created small photo mats using strips of various

Enchanted papers, which I simply machine stitched into place.

On the final two pages, I added the top of a cupcake

pick and a 3-D brad, along with Enchanted 12x12

Detail Stickers.

I like to 'hide' the edges of thick album pages, so I applied

a thick orange jute around the perimeter.  A gingham bow to

the ring completes the mini album and is ready now for photos!
