Lovely Day Mini Book

I had so much product left over from my design team projects that I decided to put it to good use and make a mini book!  
I usually put photos on my projects, but I didn't really have any that went with a lot of these without spending hours and hours looking through photos on my computer.  It's usually that way with me and mini books.  I love to make them but unless I have an idea ahead of time about photos, it takes me forever to get pictures put into them. But, I like to make them anyway, photos or not.  

So here is a really cute mini book 
that would hold some fun pictures.

Products used were:
My Mind's Eye Market Street Nob Hill Paper 
My Mind's Eye Market Street Nob Hill Decorative Tape
My Mind's Eye Market Street Nob Hill 3 x 4 Journaling Cards 
My Mind's Eye Market Street Nob Hill Decorative Brads
My Mind's Eye Market Street Nob Hill Decorative Buttons 
My Mind's Eye Market Street Nob Hill Mixed Bag 
My Mind's Eye Market Street Nob Hill Chipboard Stickers
My Mind's Eye Market Street Nob Hill Labels Stickers

Tim Holtz Alterations Die - Ornamental
Tim Holtz Alterations Die - Postage Stamp Frame
Tim Holtz Alterations Die - Arch Frame
Tim Holtz Alterations Die - Cameo Frame
We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper Ticket Stub
 
Zig Wink of Stella Brush Glitter Pen Marker - Clear

Directions:
I cut the pages out of black chipboard using the Tim Holtz dies, then I cut the papers with the same dies and adhered the paper to the chipboard.  
The covers are just pieces of black chipboard and paper cut I think 5.5 x 6.5 and I cut the corners with the We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper.  
I punched holes in all of them with my Cropadile.  
One of the die cuts, the Cameo Frame, has two rounded sides and made it difficult to punch holes, so I cut the rounded part off the side nearest to the binding.

It was a design team project for Craft Envy. I included an extensive list of products used if you would like to make your own, or feel free to contact Craft Envy and see if they would be willing to sell it to you when they are finished using it for display in the store.
