Freestyle Friday: 1 Hour Mini

This weeks Challenge... We're making a Mini Album in 1 hour using all the supplies above :)

*

Go find these Supplies in your House

(Don't buy anything. If you don't have something, think of a substitute.)

Photos (i printed all mine at 2.5inches wide)

Paint Sample (you can get these everywhere, even the Walmart)

3 Recipe Card Dividers (just go take some from the back of your recipe box... you probably have extras)

Fabric Tape or Gaffer Tape or Hockey Tape or Masking Tape

Page from a Book (i used a dictionary page) Notebook Page

Little Envelope (you can make these if you don't have)

A few Buttons

Some kind of Embellishment for your Cover (i used a boy/girl chipboard thing)

Stickers or Labels (mine are those doctors office colored file labels)

1 Pack of Rubons

Needle and Thread

Stapler

Scissors

1 Marker for Journaling

1 Hour Timer

Tips:

By having the supplies picked and gathered before you start your timer, you will save so much time... no searching or humming & hawing. Picture what you wanna make with your supplies while you gather them, then...don't think. Just go do it and have fun :) Because you're making it in an hour...don't approach it a page at a time.

Instead, do it a stage at a time (you transition less and save time).

Here's how I did mine:

Construct the album first. Then your title/cover. Then add photos. (Staple them in. It's nice and quick.) Then embellish. Then do some journaling. Then sign it :)

Then go show your people :) Rules:

You can only use the tools and supplies in the top picture. There's no paper cutter, no glue, no ruler. This is not going to be a square project. And that is O-KAY; perfection is not the goal. Fun and freestylin is :) I was giddy trying to make it in an hour and we really love the little album that I came up with. You don't have to use up your supplies; I had a few photos and buttons I didn't use.

Here's my 1 Hour Mini :]
