"Blast Off" Mini Album

Happy Monday to you all. I hope those of you who are mommies had a wonderful stress-free Mother's Day yesterday. I did! No cooking or cleaning for this mommy.

Today I am sharing a mini album I created using the Bo Bunny "Blast Off" 6x6 paper pad. It's an oldie, but a goodie. I was so inspired by all the photo frame cards, from the NSD blog hop, that I created this photo frame mini album.

Here's a quick video showing this album all put together. 

Supplies:

Today my post is all about WASHI TAPE. The amazing stuff that is versatile and colorful and decorative and useful and sticky but not too sticky. Yup, I love me some washi tape.

I created two projects to share with you. The first is a 3D paper box that I cut with my Cricut and decorated with washi tape.

The second are these are two cards I made using the washi tape as both decorative and functional. The bottom layer of tape is holding the pocket together to create the envelope.
