Starting A Project -

How do you start your projects - with an idea, or the papers you want to use, or the embellishments even?  Sometimes everything for me starts when I look at the papers, I can see the entire project in my head...  Other times, I simply get an idea based on another project - or just a title...and other times, it all depends on the embellishments! With this particular project - it all started with the paper, the rest just fell into place!!!        
I have had the background papers for this project for quite a while now, problem is - I didn't have the coordinating paper to use for the photo matt's and embellishments - until recently that is!  So for the past few days, I pulled the paper out - and started to work on it, and so far this is what I have! This is not an "exact" supply list, as I am not quite done with the entire project, but for the most part - this is what I will be using!     


Supplies:
Paper
     5 sheets 12 x 12 cardstock -each sheet   cut to 4 6 x 6 sheets, totally 20 pages
     Coordinating cardstock or paper
Embellishments
      Sizzix die cuts - daisy and tag
     Kate's ABC's Cricut cartridge 
     Stampin' Up flower mold
     Delight product
     Twinkling H2O's gold paint
     Circle punch
     Making Memories Brads
     Ribbon
Tools
     Paper Trimmer
     Hole punch
     Fine tipped scissors

So far - this is what I have created - 3 pages...  I hope to have most of the stuff cut for the pages today, and will finish things up as I go!  I am also working on another album in which I will be using the same Delight product, check back to see the finished project for that one in the next few weeks!!!  For this project, the album will be bound with ribbon - in white, yellow, and browns, and underneath the "Love" piece, is 2 hidden features, pictures shown below!  The yellow piece opens to the side, and the darker brown piece opens up to the top!    

I am so excited to finish up this album, whether I sell it - or give it away as a gift - or use it!  I love the products I am using - from the Delight product, to the molds to the Twinkling H2o's (now that is another love love love product!!!  

Challenge for the week - find something you have been wanting to do - and DO IT!!!  Cut all of the pieces you need for the project - or sketch things out - or die cut/punch everything you will need, so when you do have the extra time, everything is ready to get put together!  I went from having no projects in my head - to two of them at the same time!   I can't wait to see how they both turn out!  

Thanks for stopping by,
