Default WT174 Mini madness

Anyone up for a challenge?! It's a mini madness challenge and I hope you'll join in and play along! Anything mini goes. Of course...the entire project doesn't have to be mini but use some fun mini elements and its all good! Mini albums, mini safety pins, mini brads, mini clothespegs, mini stamps...you get the idea! Have fun!

Please remember to put WT174 in your keywords section and post a link back here. We want to see what you come up with! New projects only please! This challenge is to get you creating! As always...no time limits, project limits or competition...just have fun!

Want some samples?

My sample - Princess Mini-clipboard Frame

Shel9999's - Inky Drama Mini Album


WT174 Gallery Submissions

Thanks for playing along! Have a great day!
Julia

Default mini madness?

couldn't get the examples to come up. Kept getting error messages. I'm sure that they are something to see. Everyone of you are very talented.

My mini item was very close to hitting the trash yesterday in a summer craft purge! Luckily it was spared and I was able to make this card I've been thinking about for a while.

Thanks for the challenge as it got me around to finally making it!

Mini is NOT less mess - now I seriously need to tidy up before I even try another idea.

Thanks for your patience ladies...my computer is down and I was borrowing my son's. Obviously I need some help! Then he left and I could only sign on as his 13yo brother. James had put parental controls on his userid. Can you believe it???? I couldn't get on this site OR my blog! I have such a racy blog! ;)
