Today we have this GORGEOUS Kitschy Kitchen mini album to share with you from Melissa Frances design team member Karola. This project makes me want to scraplift it immediately! Enjoy! Here's some details from Karola:
Today I would like to show you my mini album that I created using Kitschy Kitchen collection. In June I did a little photo sesion of my daughter Rose with cherries. Immediately I knew I must create a mini album from this session and that the only collection appropriate to decorate these photos was Kitschy Kitchen. Beautiful fruit and kitchen designs fit perfectly here. I created the album base itself using different Melissa Frances elements. The cover was made from one of the backdrops. I simply cut it in half, painted with white acrylic paint and added 6 x 6 paper. I love decorative edges on mini album covers and this Melissa Frances backdrop was perfectly suited to this! Inside are pages that were created from other Melissa Frances supplies such as - Kitschy Kitchen recipe cards and Tags and Envelopes album. Thanks to this I created a pages in different sizes and shapes.
I hope you liked my mini-album, I encourage you to create your own Kitchy Kitchen mini - I had a lot of fun when it created this one!

Continuing our Kitschy Kitchen week, we have a card to share with you from Sabrina Sulaiman. She used papers from our Kitschy Kitchen 6x6 paper pad to make this card. We love how this card could be used for just about any theme - it doesn't have to be food related!
Thanks for sharing with us Sabrina.
