Mini-album by Giorgia

Hello to everyone!  Giorgia here with my second project as Guest Designer.  Since I am representing Italy, I wanted to dedicate a project to an association of scrappers we have here in Italy: it is called ASI and it organizes many crops each month, to create and have fun together. I wanted to subscribe for ages and, finally, this year I did and I took part in my first crop!
​
I created a mini to document those precious memories and what better kit than Clique Sampler Kit “Hey Crafty Girl” by Simple Stories to do it? It contains the whole paper collection and embellishments such as chipboard and stickers, so you can make a lot of projects about your crafty life!

To create the cover I used one of the papers in the kit: it is a paper with big journal cards, simply perfect for this purpose! I just had to cut it and fold it to have my cover almost ready; I only added strips of fabric and lace with my sewing machine, a clip to keep it closed, embellishments and the title from this kit.

This is the back of the front cover: since it has this pattern like a school notebook, I used it to journal. 

​The mini album structure is made with plain cardstock folded in half and sewn together with the
covers too: on the left pages I created a background made of paper scraps arranged and sewn together
to create on every page a different design (strips, square, rectangles…). On the right page, I glued my
pictures. I embellished with a mix of products from Creative Studio add-ons kit, Creative Studio
main kit and Pinkfresh Studio “my favorite story” add ons kit.

I decorated the left pages with embellishments or journal tags from Clique Sampler Kit “Hey Crafty
Girl” by Simple Stories (I backed the journal tags with black cardstock to make it pop from the
page). 
​

I am in love with the container full of Pinkfresh Studio flatback crystals included in Pinkfresh Studio
“my favorite story” add ons kit: I used them here and there to add a little bit of sparkle, along with
sequins from Creative Studio main kit.
​

I really loved creating this mini album and I hope it will inspire you!
