Hi, everyone! Melissa here with the next installment of our week-long blog exchange with Punky Sprouts! And, since my shipment of Punky Sprouts products and Pink Paislee’s new Declaration collection arrived only a day apart, I decided to use some of the new papers along with Punky’s Teenie-Beanie Sprout album to make an Independence Day themed mini!
These cute kraft Li’l Blooms by Punky Sprouts were originally intended to be rolled into a flower, but I decided to make fireworks from a couple of them instead. I spritzed two of the Li’l Blooms with some silver color mist, then arranged them (thanks to a few strategically placed Glue Dots) into messy coils. Star stickers from the Declaration line finished off the effect.
This mini album is meant to document a 5K race that I’ve run on Independence Day weekend for the past three years and plan on continuing to run for many years to come. I pre-decorated all of the pages, but only the first six have photos since I’m dedicating two pages to each year of the race. If you’re making a mini album and find that you have extra pages at the end, you might consider doing the same since it’ll be super easy to simply insert more photos of the same theme later on.
I created this flower by again spritzing a Punky Sprouts embellishment (a kraft colored piece of coffee-filter paper) with silver mist, then splattering with red glitter. After all of that had finished drying, I pinched the flower in the middle to create gathers and added a star sticker from the Declaration sticker sheet to finish it off.
Punky Sprouts’ neutral mini albums and embellishments make a perfect base for showing off Pink Paislee’s gorgeous paper and embellishment collections!
