For this blog share, we all created projects with the fun & funky Laughing Lola from Close To My Heart. Here’s my first project! I absolutely love creating mini albums and mine are usually very girly. This mini album isn’t nearly as girly as I usually create, but then again it’s not for me 🙂 My little sister has two awesome sons & a fantastic husband… and her favorite color is purple. This mini is a win-win for her!
One thing I love to do with my mini albums in ad smaller ‘mini-pages’ in between the regular pages. They’re perfect for extra decoration or journaling. I also added a bunch of little gold stars, which my Dad found for me!!
Here’s the backside of the mini page above.
Throughout this mini, I used the stamp set from the Chantilly Workshop, “All The Details-Everyday Life”. It’s full of fun phrases, arrows and this funky plus sign design that I used throughout this mini. I created the embossed stamping across multiple areas of the mini album pages by using a funky gold embossing powder from my stash, Versamark and my heat gun.
Next I created this fun layout about our daughter, Hannah. In the Spring of 2013 our girls played soccer and really loved it. The only thing they didn’t like was that they played in the rain as long as it wasn’t lightning. This Mama wasn’t a big fan of that either!! Overall, they had a blast running their little pony tails off all over the field.

Another awesome mini in true Jody style. I love your gold accents and embossing, that really jazzes it up and makes me want to go back to my mini and add gold, gold, gold! Your layout with your sassy soccer girl is too cute. Your style of layering with die cuts has inspired me once again!

What a great little album, Jody! I love, love, love all of the details and the idea of adding smaller pagers between the big ones is a really neat idea. I’ve really enjoyed looking at your creation!
