#24 Celebrating Our Milestone's Blog Hop


Photobucket


Hello everyone welcome the the fabulous Celebrating Our Milestone's Blog Hop hosted by Yolie from JUST Yolie. If you are here from Gaby's blog Gaby Creates then you are in the right spot. If you just arrived here and would like to start from the beginning please head over to Yolie's Blog HERE. Yolie asked us all to make either a scrapbook layout or a mini album to Celebrate's Life's Milestone's. I was so super excited when she asked me to join in her hop because I knew I instantly that I wanted to make a house mini album for my home. I always dreamed of being a homeowner one day, I would even tell my friends my goals in High School and I would always say that I wanted to buy a house by the time I was 25 years old, well I did it and I was exactly 25!! I felt so accomplished and to this day I still can not believe that my hubby and I are homeowner's. We got so lucky when we found this house because it had everything we were looking for (including a Scrapbook room!) and this was our #1 choice house and the bank said "Yes" to our offer!

Since I was unable to get my picture's developed in time here is a photo of our dream home!

Okay now onto my Mini album.....(I bought the Mini Album chipboard base from a Scrapbook Expo so I do not know the brand of the Mini Album)

This Mini album took me 8 hours to complete I think the end result was way better than I ever imagined it to be I am very satisfied. Now I just need to add some pictures and journaling in it. Enjoy!

Top close up view. I stamped the title sentiment on paper then layered on cereal box chipboard 4x times to make it really thick! Prima flowers, brads and large black and white metal flower(making memories),  silver butterfly-jewlery from Michaels', black bling, black sequin ribbon, black lace, black Acrylic Paint on every single page in book. All papers are from Michael's K& CO.

Left side, furry type of black ribbon, felt flowers from Michael's $1 bin, Making Memories metal tag. Right side, tag, black embroidery floss, fabric flower attached to patterend paper to make a pocket. Butterfly from MS punch and gray brad.

The Photo mat comes out, I can do my journaling on the back of it. I added bling to the photo mat, but you can't really see it.

Left side blank for photo. Right side, black Stickles, ric-rac, journaling "Dreams"tag, I plan on writing my future dreams, and plans for my house, for example my thoughts on my plans for my back yard I want a balcony, a pool, and a garden. The black flower  and brad is Making Memories, the white flower is a flower from the Wedding section at the Dollar store! 




I love this page! Especially the butterfly! I used a Tim Holtz fragment along with Crackle to make the Charm.

Pearls and bling!

Here you can see my handmade charm and roses from the Forever Young Cricut Cartridge. I did some inking and added a pearl.

Left side added a photo mat, felt flowers, lace and metal corner embellishments from Making Memories. Right side, lace, ribbon, brad and Prima Flower.

Back Cover.

  74. What a sweet little book for a great milestone - that is quite an achievement to own a home by the age of 25! I hate to say it but I can't think of any milestones off hand. I have been married for 23-1/2 years, we have 3 teenage children, we own our home and a rental property. I guess those could count. But a have a lot of milestones I would like to meet like losing 30 pounds, eating healthier, painting more... maybe if you do another milestone blog in a year or so I will have something new to report :)

    ReplyDelete
  75. Beautiful mini album. Just wonderful. I guess my milestones in life would be giving my heart to Jesus, getting married, having two beautiful daughters who are very productive women, and helping with my 3 beautiful granddaughters.

  77. Precious house album. You have a great milestone to keep up. I can't say that is realistic for me as much as I would love to create everyday. Mine is to honestly do more crafts with my kids. We have reached several in my house but this is one to do weekly from now on. Thanks for the hop and all the great blogs to visit, Lisa
