My desk is relatively clear this past week because I spent several days watching the snow storm that blew through this area. The first round brought 6-7 inches of snow and the second wave brought another 2-3 inches and I enjoyed each and every little bit of it! I love the snow and just watching it fall can hold my attention for hours. Of course being retired I don't have anywhere to go so I can totally relax and enjoy.
Lately, I have become in love with making these mini-albums using some of the Heartfelt Creations products. I'm trying to photograph this one and so here is one of the pages. I do still make a card or two along the way but I dearly love working with these. They help me spend hours pouring love and attention into little works of art and it is just a great crafty project!
In my albums I make all the flowers, leaves and butterflies and love coloring them to match the papers I'm using! I love dies and use them throughout my pages as well. So there you have it. I'm going to try and visit a few of you now, so we will talk later!

Ah Glenda, time on my hands or not, I don't think I'll ever like snow, except in majestic, once in a lifetime views! But enjoy, love that you make the most. Your album (and previous post) card are just delicious, I think if one hits on a speciality, one should stick with it, and these are very special. I love the black outlines in this album, perfect framing.
Oh that album is gorgeous! What happens to the flower when you close it? Does it get squashed? Or is it not supposed to close? That is why I am reluctant to use beautiful flowers on cards. They just get flattened and that would be sad.
Thanks for visiting earlier,
Have a good week,

More lovely red and green, your album is a treasure, I'm sure, Glenda...not much desk to see! Have a fun day!
I would love to watch snow falling again!! I love it but just for one day! LOL!! Your mini album is beautiful!!! Hugs!
What a beautiful album! I can tell you enjoy making them because of all the gorgeous details. We had a good snow here this past Friday in my part of NC too. I also LOVE snow!! Our total was 10-12 inches depending on where we measured. It's melting away now, but still lots on the ground 5 days later.
Glenda, I love this little beauty. I'm a massive fan of mini-albums myself (and different though ours may look) I fully understand the appeal of making them from scratch and adding all of the individual elements. What will you do with it now that it's finished? Did you have a purpose in mind?

I love making journals and doing things like that too. I love the one you are showing us here.
Sounds as if you have had some snow there - I think they had some at home after we left but we might end up going back to some next month. Nice on Christmas cards or to watch through the window but to drive in - oh no!
Hugs, Neet 2 xx
Beautiful mini album, what is it about minis we find so fascinating?
Love the colors you used, very striking.

Love the mini-album. I've been making a bunch of them lately. Can't seem to stop.
