My Minds Eye Collectable Mini
featuring My Minds Eye Collectable collection
By Lori McClellan
I've said it before, I LOVE My Minds Eye, and this collectable collection is so bright and beautiful. Here is what I had to work with.
When I pulled out my supplies, I had a different project in mind, but as I tried to decide how to get started the Unforgettable Journal paper was SCREAMING at me! It sounds weird, but paper talks to me (occasionally I talk back). This particular sheet was begging me to let it become a mini. I don't often do mini albums, but I figured why not and got started.
This is how my family found me, still in my PJ's, with major bed-head, bra-less (because if we're being honest, it's the most comfortable way to work), scrap supplies spread out on the floor, and the most adorable mini
coming together before my eyes. I LOVE when inspiration hits me and a
project just comes together.

The Unforgettable Story Journaling sheet is (12) 3 x 4 cards. To start my album I cut them apart to become my pages. Since that would make a pretty small album, I decide to mount them on slightly
bigger pages. Using the coordinating papers from the collectable
collection I cut pages 4 x 5 to mount the cards on. With the
coordinating stickers, enamel dots, and twine from My Minds Eye All is
Bright line, this is how the adorable mini came out.
So, does paper ever "talk" to you? Do you think I got the message it was trying to send me?
Don't forget to pick up your supplies at The Hens' Den:
fantastic mini book!! I love this paper line so I can see how it would be calling out to you! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, It's much quieter in my head now that I've finished.
DeleteYour mini turned out awesome! I don't often do mini's either and in the process of doing a year in review. Yeah it's taking me awhile to get it done.I am working on it little by little. Yepper paper does talk to me as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicolle! Keep up with your project, it won't be long until you find just the right paper that won't shut up!
DeleteLooks great Laurie.. that paperline was perfect for that project!!!!!...but I would never be able to scrap on the floor!!!! How do you do it???

Thank you Tangie. I oftted at the table, but as I saw the album getting bigger and bigger, I moved it to the floor so I could spread out and match the background paper with the jornaling card. I tried several combinations before I got it just right. After that since it was all layed out and in order, it was easier to just plop myself down and assemble it on the floor. My back was killing me when I was done, but the process went fast. I don't usually sit on the floor, but when you have been struck with a creative bang, you go with it!
DeleteThis is screaming to be a kit!!!.. Wonderful job!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea!
DeleteOh goodness Lori, this is AWESOME !!! What a great mini album and it surely has given me the inspiration to do one myself. I can't say the paper has talked to me, but my embellishments certainly have shown themselves to me in unusual ways :)
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! I dare ya!
DeleteThis is gorgeous Lori, love it.
