Parsley Book

Parsley was my Christmas present in 2008, a tiny wee 8 week old kitten from the RSPCA who immediately took over our house! Cats have a way of doing that don't they! I made this book as a Christmas gift for my step daughter Jaymee, as she was with us when Parsley arrived and as any 11 year old girl would do, totally feel in love with the little nutty bundle of fur who was, and still is, a real character!

Its made out of a chipboard album (from Riot, about 8 x 5 inches in size) which I totally deconstructed and remade with Kaisercraft Pets Paradise papers and various embellishments.

Because I don't have children Parsley usually takes centre stage in my layouts, and I'm sure you will agree shes VERY photogenic!!



Cover Girl



I found these chip board paw prints in a local store and they were purrfect (sorry couldn't resist) for the cover

Compact Mini Album

I can't claim to have thought up this cool idea myself, as I saw it in a Scrapbook Trends Magazine.  However as someone who likes to recycle (or horde) I hate throwing out a perfectly good container that might be of use for 'something', so when I saw this mini album made out of an old makeup compact I had to try it!

AND can I just say I am pretty happy with the result!

It's made using Kaisercraft Dancing Jewel papers and not much more, a wee bit of ribbon, rub ons,  stickers, pearls and some stamping.

Obviously space is limited so its all about the photos, in this case of all the girls in my family as a present for my mum. 





I remembered I had a little dragonfly charm so added it onto the tag.
