Cosmo Cricket Snorkel Line and Pinecone Press Mini Album

For this month's Not Your Ordinary Book Club, the first kit was a project that I didn't care too much for.... Instead I made a 12x12 layout for my daughter's album:

The book had a layout that I lifted the idea from - to use the fish paper in the shape of waves. The one in the book was MUCH more artsy and time intensive so I had to scale it back a bit...

I was most excited when I decided to add stickles for a little sparkle. It's hard to capture in a picture but you can definitely see some on the popsicle cutout below. I never would have purchased the Cosmo Cricket Snorkel paper on my own but I ended up really liking them once I worked with them! I still have lots of accessories left over so I'm going to pick up a few more sheets whenever I visit the store for our meeting this month.

The other kit was to make a mini-album. This took a lot of work just because a lot of items were cut out. There are tons of embellishments on this too - giving it a little bit of "bling" on each page - but they don't show through well on the pictures. My camera battery died so I can't go back for closeups now :) Here's a collage of the book...
