Toilet Paper Roll Mini Swap

I like doing these TP
Roll minis so much
that I decided to do
a mini swap over on
my Utube channel.
Several creative
ladies are joining me in this adventure. Here are the instructions we will follow:
**Decorate 5 toilet paper rolls front and back with patterned paper and embellishments.
**Create 5 tags to go inside the toilet rolls(add patterned paper to these as well but you may choose to leave these without embellishments, it's up to you)
**Mail your completed toilet rolls by November 12/13 to:
Faye Rains
36 Neibling Drive
Aiken, South Carolina 29801
**Include a SASE for return of the mini pages that were created for you( that means to include return postage that is equal to what it took you to send it)
***********THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PARTICIPATING IN MY SWAP***************

GOING GREEN


Everyone's talking about GOING GREEN. Even in crafting, and in particular(because I like it), scrapbooking. It is even evident in this type of art. So here's my GO GREEN project. You can't get any greener than this: TPRoll. This project was created using about six of these necessary things. Although the discarded tissue roll isn't a necessity, it makes a pretty sturdy mini album. So GO GREEN and try one.

My Recycled Project



What can you do with two empty ribbon spools? Create a piece of art that will make your heart flutter. That's what I did with some inspiration from two fellow UTubers.I used a plethora of flowers, some bought and some handmade to adorn these all but discarded paper designs. With a wooden thread spool on the top that sports a wooden clothespin( a neat note holder) Bling, bling and more bling was hot glued to perfection. Pearls strung to its very core and butterflies fluttering all about. It just goes to show you that we can reuse what we use.

A series of minis



Recently I stumbled upon an ideal way to create a mini album. The creator's channel is JustaFewDesigns. She created a mini using one sheet of 12x12 design paper. It is folded in such a way that it can house over 20 pictures and tags. She calls it one page bind mini. I went crazy making these for they are so fun and very appealing. So check out my samples and head over to Elsa's channel.
