Graphic 45 Challenge is done!

Yay!!! 
My mini album is done.  I took the Graphic 45 February mini album challenge and finished!  
I used G45 French Country paper, die cuts and stickers.  I also used photo blanks from DCWV, Liquid Glass and Flip Flaps from Close To My Heart, misc. brads and Xyron adhesive.  
The size and pages are the same.  The binding is different---I used my Cinch to bind mine and my layout is a bit different.  
Enjoy.

Adding video in a few........ 
enjoy.
......and here it is.....

Where are my photos?

Just a quick note....As I was trying to post pics last night....ugh....IE 11 wouldn't, Google Chrome wouldn't and alas after down loading Firefox I was finally able to get them in.  Never had this problem before and I tried all the 'Explorer' tricks I could.
  All this because I was unable to see many pics that I had long ago added to Blogger via my phone.  They were gone.  And some of them are still gone, some I can't remember what they were?!
Trying to remedy this, bear with me.  Should you see any places where there should be a photo and there isn't, drop me a line and I will try to fix it.   Sorry
Here is a little eye candy in the mean time.....

More progress on the Graphic 45 Mini Album

Hello, me again.
Here is a mini video of my progress so far of my mini album for the Graphic 45 February Challenge: Topography Mini Album. 
Not sure if I will be disqualified because I used a manila envelope that was a bit thicker than a file folder, but it was all I had.  Oh well.
 But I am using my French Country paper pack, embellishments and stickers from G45. 
I have 'Cut the Paper'!
David, do you hear me....... (inside joke).
It still needs to be bound, which I will do with my Cinch instead of rings as well as the fun part.   That is when I get to pick and choose all the stuff to put in it--stickers, embellishments, and photos---If I do put photos in it. 
Hope you enjoy and please pardon the shaky camera.

Graphic 45 Mini Album Book Base

     Graphic 45 posted a 2014 challenge to make a mini album.  And I thought I should do one....lol...of course I should!  Mini albums are my favorite thing to do right now so no big challenge here, just fun. 
    Here is the web site:  http://g45papers.typepad.com/
    And here is the first part: the book base.  It is supposed to be made with file folders but I didn't have any so I used chip board manilla envelopes.  It is thicker but that's OK.   There are 3 pocket pages and 7 plain pages.
     Now the fun part to decorate and embellish.   Oooooh yeah.
