Happy New Year's Eve Everyone!
Today is the "Reunion" kit Club Scrap Blog Hop!
I was thrilled when I saw the "Reunion" collection - the colors are so beautiful and I love the fanciful designs for both the pattern papers and stamps. I knew right what I wanted to make...I saw a conversation on Facebook about one page projects and thought it would be a fun challenge to see what I could come up with using one 12x12 sheet for the base of a creation.
I must admit it sounded lots easier than it actually was but I finally was able to come up with a mini brag book that you can tuck in your purse with room for several photos - anywhere from 10 larger sized photos to any number of the smaller photo sizes I've seen out there recently.
I know initially this little album looks quite unassuming...
But once you untie the ribbon and it starts to unfold you quickly realize just how much room you have to share your photos....

And it keeps going....the underside of the flaps even have a space for journaling, notes or simple identifiers as to who is who.
Finally once it's all the way opened up you'll be amazed at all of the real estate you have for photos of family and friends!
I am just so tickled with how fun the finished album is and it all started with just one 12x12 sheet of cardstock! Of course for the finished album I used quite a bit more paper for all of the layered photo mats and other bits but that's what is great about this project. You can use as few or many extras as you'd like.
Your next stop on the hop is Deb's Blog - Lift Bridge and if you get lost along the way the complete hop list can be found on the Club Scrap Blog!

ReplyDeleteI will be attending a goodbye party for a neighbor tonight (ends around 9 pm) and then it is off to bed for me... maybe some TV first? Nothing exciting. I have 2 little ones and hubby doesn't like to go out and do stuff around loud obnoxious crowds...
have a safe and pleasant nite!
I want to win it, but I want the directions too!
ReplyDeleteI, too look forward to the directions for this brag book....I'm in the process of making a couple brag books myself for neighbor and their daughter for her newborn little boy.

Awesome project, Roni. I love the colors in the kit. We are ruddy duds also. Staying home and having a glass of wine.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your album! Would love to win! Thank you! The kit looks amazing! For New Year's Eve, we stay at home and watch movies! Last year we both fell asleep before midnight - we'll see who can make it this year! Happy New Year!

DeleteI just love this one page album! What a lovely idea for gift giving to friends and family or just for your own personal use!
ReplyDeleteFor NYE we are staying at home with a quiet dinner and movie with my family. Maybe a game or two of cribbage, a little crafting, and a few jokes along the way!

Hubby and I will go to dinner somewhere and probably take my mother along. We'll be home before 8 and will likely be asleep before midnight!
ReplyDeleteRoni, what a fun brag book!! Can't wait to see how it all came together. We are staying home for the big night. Nothing much really planned but family time :)
ReplyDeleteLove these little handmade books, Roni! Yours turned out great. Thanks for hopping and for sharing your talents with us. We're doing a little party hopping tonight around the neighborhood. I can't wait to reconnect with friends I haven't seen in a while.
ReplyDeleteWe quietly celebrate the New Year at home.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of a flip book project we did at retreat - but with pre-cut papers. I look forward to seeing how you created it! We're still not sure what our NYE plans are - we're out of town and sort of just exploring and enjoying being together for the night.
ReplyDeleteI love this and envision many gifts I could use this for. Plans for NYE...hanging out with the neighbors.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, creative album. I'm going to a movie tonight, and will be in bed by the time 2015 arrives!
ReplyDeleteI see old buildings, maybe cards or wall hangings.....of course I just woke up and my creative minds hasn't caught up yet. Happy New Year to you and yours. Cheers, Pattie P
ReplyDeleteWe're staying home for NYE - celebrating with our family!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and yours!
We are staying home and I'll probably go to bed early as I am still recovering from surgery.
ReplyDeleteFantastic little book , Roni. I look forward to the tutorial tomorrow. Wishing you a happy and very creative new year!
ReplyDeleteLove your book, Roni! I'll be back tomorrow for the tutorial. No big plans for tonight, just staying home, maybe doing some crafting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little book. And a great way to use up those left over pieces. I'll be back tomorrow to bookmark the tutorial. TFS
ReplyDeleteSuch a great little booklet made with a 12x12, adorable! How nice of you to do a giveaway also! Hope you have a Happy New Year, we are just going to a friends for food and snacks and will watch the ball drop from there! Hope yours is great!
ReplyDeleteRoni, I love this little album. Such a great idea. Since my dear hubby and I travel every week, we are wearing our favorite jammie pants, cooking a steak and grabbed some king crab legs from Costco. That and a nice bottle of red wine and some cuddling on the couch is our plan!! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteVery Cool, Ron! Love the little journaling flaps and love how you pieced all the different patterned papers together!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun little album! I love that it can hold so many pictures. Our family is staying home and putting a puzzle together... an annual tradition.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will be doing something special for your NYE celebration, Mark and I wll be going to a neighborhood party and hoping we can stay up until midnight!
ReplyDeleteReally liked your project and the one page challenge.
Hi Roni! This is a darling album and I could put it to good use! Thanks for the chance to win it. Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteLove the album. For New Years, I woke my hubby at midnight gave him a kiss and he went right back to sleep! Like the idea of coming back again to see the instructions and the suspense of who will win the album. Great fun, Pauline
ReplyDeleteWe are going out to eat with friends...then hubbies will watch some football on tv and we will talk crafting...
ReplyDeleteWe went to MIL's at the beach with the kids for a 3 generation celebration. Lovely album!
ReplyDeleteVery cute mini album! We spent New Year's Eve watching a High School basketball tournament and then to church to ring in the New Year!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm late! But we had the best NYE ever. Our son and DIL and two granddaughters are visiting and the 17-year-old planned and cooked the whole dinner -- mmm good. The 15-year-old settled into my craft room and made the beautiful decorations. We set up the dining room with the "good" dishes and had a lovely family evening, ending with champagne.
ReplyDeleteNeat little brag book, it would be good to hold photos of my 12 GGC.
ReplyDeleteI love this project! I spent NYE with my Mum who just had her 90th birthday on Dec. 22 and lives with me, Linda
ReplyDeleteJust now Hopping and love your sweet album! Our New Year's Eve and Day were filled with football, family and ribs! CS has my email.
