Vacation mini

I couldn't wait to get started on the mini from our vacation. I created the cover the night before we left for the coast. I purchased the book from Michael's in their dollar bin area. I used Sassafrass, Making Memories & Love Elsie patterned paper. Some of the ribbons are from the Target dollar bin and the fibers are from EK Success that I picked up at Tuesday Morning. I used a bunch of different letters for the title. Some are Thickers from American Crafts. If you buy the white foam or vinyl Thickers, you can chalk them up with whatever color you want/need. I chalked up the "t" and "a" with Colorbox chalks.

I received my July mini kit from Girls Gone Scrappy. I'm going to start working on that next. Then I'll work on my July mini to trade. And of course I'll have a July 4th mini to work on after that.

Happy 4th of July to all. Be safe and have fun!
