Zombie's and Creating a Perfect Day

I spent most of the day working on this mini album.
I just love making my own embellishments. I should really stop buying them as even though I have so many, I still make my own.
Take this kit I put together. It has so many embellishment, but I keep making my own.
One thing I noticed (I will have to change for next time) when I put this mini kit together is that I need to add more papers. I haven't ran out, but I did need to use some white card stock for a few of my tags and such.      
Here is page 1.                        
                                    
I took the pages out of the coils as it is easier to work with. I made these tags out of my white card stock (which wasn't in my kit) and then added the dies to the top (they were in my kit).          
                                      
 I added distress ink to the white felt flowers, then added pearls to the punched out border.
 Page 2. This is a fun page. It is a slider. You pull on the flower and the top flap slides up.
 See, isn't it fun. I love interactive pages :)
 Again I made these flowers with punches and then formed them and added a pearl.
 I made a tag that slides out from the slider card.
                                              
Onto My Day:
Hubby and I drove Kristy to Blake's as they were going to the movies.
Then we did a few errands.
Went to my Local Scrap booking Store. I went there for some paper for my Copics. Left $ 96.00 less in my pocket and guess what .....I forgot the paper.
Guess I have to wait till Tuesday as they are closed till then :(
Came home and watched a couple Zombie Movies, while I worked on this mini album.
Picked up Kristy, grabbed an ice cream at DQ.
Then came home to two more Zombie movies and more creating ;)

We woke up to snow, and it is still snowing. Just when most of the snow had melted, sigh.

Hope you are having a creative weekend...without snow ;)

    we had snow the other day. Mom said the 4 letter word and yep, you guessed it we had snow.
    Time to eat my ham and eggs made by Katie. She is taking care of her sick Momma today.:) How nice.
    Happy creating my friend your mini is looking adorable. Haven't tried the slider card yet. Looks a bit complicated to me. Maybe next album.
    Hugs,Pea

    Agh! Chilly here, but no snow today...I love the pullout, pop out thingy in the album! What a totally cool and pretty accent! And isn't half the fun buying those pretty embellies? I keep making my own flowers too, but have a bunch in my stash!:0)

    love the way you distress things. Been thinking I should do my own flowers as well but then I have so many bought ones to use up. Was funny at around 3 am when I couldnt sleep and was doing my colouring with copics, I laughed and said Tracy needs to do a tutoral for me heheheh. Am still finding it hard to find the right paper down here, but when its cut out and blocked it is ok. Have a good day

    Lol, you and your zombies, you kill me :0) Reminds me of my dad though. We used to watch all kinds of zombie movies when I was little. That's how I got in to liking horror films, I think. Your album is looking absolutely gorgeous! You are so creative :0) Have a Happy Sunday my friend! Hugs!!!!

    Great look at your mini album, so nice! I do the same thing, buy lots of embellishments and then make my own. Will we ever learn? Probably not, at least in my case!

    Love your mini. You make it so interesting with all the interactive bits, and the tactile lovelies that are visually pleasing and make me want to reach right out and touch them :-)
