And….FLIP!

Hello, my lovelies!  I am feeling a smidge girly today after my most recent Pinque Peacock project!  Once upon a time, a girl had an awesome lunch with her previously aforementioned AWESOMESAUCE mother-in-law.  That girl, just “happened” to sneak a few Panera coffee sleeves in her purse…(Hey…A girl has to craft!!!)  

Enter today’s project…a coffee sleeve album.  

This was challenging for me in many respects.  First, I don’t **ducks and cringes and runs away** scrapbook. I don’t.  I’m sorry.  I love scrapbooks, but me, myself and I, I just don’t do it.  All my photos are digital, and I prefer them that way.  I also don’t like pastels.  Please see anyone of my previous 100 posts about how pastels and I do not share a likeness for each other.   To top it off, I don’t do mini’s often, and have never done an altered mini.  There, I said it all out loud.  Are you like me?  Then prepare to be amazed, my friends!  I took these plain coffee sleeves, and created this fantastically awesome girly album.  I used a combo of adhesive fabric and pink floral papers from my stash.  I used an accordion binding technique to bind the sleeves, and used iridescent bead trim and chiffon flowers to cover the binding.  On the front, 

I used a chiffon flower with a Pinque Peacock Pinque Floral button for the center, and a beautiful marble glass stickpin as an accent on the closure bow.  

On each page, I use a coordinating stickpin as an accent and to hold memorabilia or photos.  As I said, I don’t do albums, but I love this one!.....Do you?  Would you love it to add to your collection?  I would love for you to have it!  Comment on the Pinque Peacock blog at http://pinquepeacock.blogspot.com and follow the Pinque Peacock blog Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/PinquePeacock and comment and follow, yes, FOLLOW, my personal blog at Http://mycraftyspace.blogspot.com….then, this, could be yours!  I LOVE giveaways….don’t disappoint me!!!!
