This is Basic Gray 'Origins' paper line and it's really just so beautiful! I had several papers, embellishments and decided to go a little nuts with the paper distressing. I've been using that distressing tool by Tim Holtz - if you don't have one, as a Happy New Year to you, go get one - you will love it!!!
I used my cricut to cut out the little tree with the birdie on top, as well as the flower petals here I tucked behind the wooden heart. I really wanted to dig in and use some supplies I had been 'hoarding' in my stash. 
Here you can see the full book. I tore the edges of the paper, as well as distressed them, rolling them back to allow for a full 4 x 6 photo, as well as the other 3 mats I included. I have found when gifting these, or even selling these mini albums, its important to allow for someone to visualize where the photo is going to go so matting is essential.
This is one of my flowers I made -- I seriously just love making flowers. My husband, Michael, was so sweet as he said my hand created flowers were as good as the prima ones I dropped on -- here you see my green one and the prima one to the right in yellow. Not bad, eh? They're very simple - only here I added an extra twist by weaving the ribbon around the center, and I used a green flower petal base that I had.
As always - thanks for dropping by and have a wonderful day!
