It's our Mini Book Blog Hop Today......

How would you like to learn how to create a fun Mini Book 
out of one 12x12 and be inspired to make 20 different versions of it? 


Well get ready to hop- because today on each of our blogs we
 will share with you some fun and creative different versions on how
 to make this simple mini book we did at the CHA Winter Show. 

Here is the book and photos of the basic cuts to get you started 

First cut your paper into thirds
then fold each third in half
and glue the pieces together to make 3 pages

and now off you go to our first designer on the hop
Alicia Barry to inspire you with more ideas and ways
to embellish it and change it up for lots of different occasions.

And... if you need some Amazing Adhesives to put it all 
together be sure and grab some Helmar 450, some 
Scrapdots to pop it up and give it dimension
 and Helmar Craft glue too.  
They work fantastic on our papers and all of our designers love using it!


Here is the links and order list just in case one is broken
 you can pick them up from here!







Be sure and leave a comment at the bottom of our 
Best Creation Blog for a chance to win a huge prize pack of goodies 
(check out the photos on facebook)
and 3 more chances to win if you sign up to be follower
 or join us on facebook! And don’t forget
 to leave comments along the way letting us know
 how you love all their designs. 


The contest ends at Midnight Sunday PST and
the winner will be announced on Mondays blog :)
  
Have fun on the hop everyone!!!
