Doodlebug Mini Album & Giveaway! - CLOSED!

Mini albums are definitely my very favorite projects. The reason I don't create more of them is that they take so much time. However, this time I just couldn't resist .... Doodlebug has this fabulous collection of chipboard mini albums "Plain and Simple" in all different shapes and sizes and they were waiting to be used!

Last October the five of us spent a week in New York in a awesome hotel on Times Square. Needless to say we had the time of our lives! As soon as we got home I knew I wanted to make a mini album about this trip and now I did!!

This is the mini album I chose: Plain and Simple Collection, Layered 4 x 7 Chipboard Album:
And this is my end result (if you click on the images they will be larger):


Aren't the colors fabulous? Every time I look at it, I have to smile! :) :) :) :) :)

Let me show you the separate pages:















And these are the supplies I used (quite a lot!):
Chipboard Mini Album: Plain and Simple Collection, Layered 4 x 7; Patterned Paper: Surprise Party, Colorwheel, Bon Appetit, Sweet Cakes, Monster Mania, Classic and Petite Prints; Cardstock: Crushed Velvet; Alpha Stickers: Candy Shoppe, Shin-Dig; Die Cuts: Monster Mania, Colorwheel, Sweet Cakes, Bon Appetit; Stickers: Birthday Celebration, Sweet Cakes, Monster Mania, Welcome Home & Headlines; Fancy Frills: Monster Mania, Sweet Cakes, Welcome Home; Doodle-Pops: Red, White & Blue; Sugar Coated Brads; Doodle Twine: Ladybug, Ribbons. 



In case you're wondering ... the key ring is from the M&M Store, which was situated right across the street from our hotel.


And now about the GIVEAWAY .....  The only things you have to do are: become a follower of my blog (if you aren't already) and leave a comment here and at Doodlebug's blog! That's it! You have until Friday March 9, 5am (MST). The winner will be posted on Doodlebug's blog on Friday afternoon.

Good luck everyone and thank you soooo much for visiting!

Hugs,
Monique
