Awesome Camp Mini

I was so inspired by the August Pep Rally. Everyone had such awesome projects, and I've never seen a kit that was so ready to be a mini album. I finally made a mini with Glam Camp... I had a picture in my mind as soon as I saw that little deer that it needed to be featured along with one of those amazing burlap bows on a mini! Here is what I came up with:

I had those kraft thought bubble stickers in my stash, I thought they worked great as journalling spots with this collection.

I'm sending this album to my sister, she is a camp counsellor and youth group leader and they just got back last month from this year's camp. I hope she likes it. The pages are kind of plain, but there is room for photos and journalling on every page, and on the inside of the back cover, I have utilized some of the awesome packaging that our supplies come in to make a pocket that can hold extra photos, personal journalling, scripture or anything else she might want to put inside a pocket. I still have a good amount of goodies left from this kit, so you may get one more mostly Glam Camp project before my next kit comes... I can't WAIT to get my hands on it... you need to see the peeks!!! 

August 2014 Pep Rally Featuring Glam Camp!

Hold on to your hats everyone, this kit has me thinking of the 80's and the 60's... in particular the time I'm thinking of the summer that I first saw the movie Dirty Dancing, that floral print in the kit reminds me of fabric of my favorite dresses from that summer and how we combined plaids with florals and polka dots.... yummo just like this kit! I LOVE IT! If you are just arriving from Alisha's blog, welcome! If you were just popping by to see me, then you should REALLY go through the blogroll and catch up!

I have a mini album in mind for these papers and embellies, but first I wanted to alter something that I haven't seen altered in this way, I found some slide carousels at a thrift store for less than two dollars and I bought both of the ones they had, ideas spinning like mad through my mind. They are perfect for holding tiny tags and bits of ephemera and you could use them as countdown calenders, as a roladex, for holding journalling prompts or for holding quotes. LOTS of ideas here...


Here is the box that my Carousel came in:

Here is a view from the top, partially loaded. The tags in the middle are ready to be filled out and dropped in the slots. I've used cut files from Clique Kits and other cut files I had for my silhouette and also tickets and ephemera and scrap paper that I used a punch to make tags for the slots, they are just about two inches wide and I think they are fabulous!

And here is a view from the front. 

I am just TICKLED at the way it turned out! Let me know what you think... I had SO MUCH FUN!
