PTI March Hop & May the odds...


be ever in your favor!  I'm getting in just under the wire for this PTI Hop, so I guess the odds are in my favor for something. :)  I spent this past week reading all 3 Hunger Games books with the idea I would treat myself to the first movie today.  Alas, I also told myself I had to get my report cards at least 90% completed and my 3 papers for class written before I could let myself go.  Didn't quite get it all done in time for the movie, but there's always next weekend.  Frankly I'm a little emotionally exhausted from the books right now anyway.  But I digress...
The good news is that I used the rest of my late afternoon to make a mini album with pockets to treat myself and was able to play along for a change!  The whole album has 8 pockets/pages and they measure about 4" X 3".   Sorry this pick is so iffy.  My battery died just after I took this shot.  The True Death kind of died.  Couldn't get the camera to do squat after this shot.  I'm hoping to be able to revive it charging overnight.  We'll see.
4 of the pockets have yellow tags topped with mini tabs stamped in aqua. :)  Thought this would be a fun little birthday album.  These are so much fun to make I may see if I can find a way to teach how to make this in on of the classrooms I work with at school.  Maybe as a summer goals mini or something.
This is the whole kit 'n caboodle tied up with a bow.  The cupcake is from the PTI Baby Button Bits set and was the first stamp that came to mind when I saw this...

  2. This is a VERY cute idea! Cameras, like children, rarely behave when you most want them to! BTW, love the name!
