Promise Standing Mini

In the first week of "Scrap Your Faith" we were also suppose to do a mini

with verses in it.

Courtney Walsh did a mini on God's Promises and it really spoke to me

to have a little mini of God's Promises in my purse.

I had purchased this little mini from Etsy,

and when it arrived it was so tiny I didn't know what I was gonna do with it.
It has been in my stash for a long time,

but this is the perfect use for it.  

Here is the cover.....
I used pen stitching around my letters to make them POP!
(Something I learned in Field Guide).
I also added a banner and tied some baker's twine to it.
I love that look.

Here is a page that I really like.
I to the bottom off a tag and inked and distressed it 

and then added a verse.

There are several vellum pages in this book.

To this one I added this cute flower I stacked

and added a brad to for the center.

I have been learning so many wonderful techniques.

And this particular one came from the Counterfeit Challenge blog

The "dot" in the center here is

actually hot glue put out into a little ball.

I let it dry (only takes a minute or so)

and then put it in a baggie and added some

alcohol ink to it and it lightly colored my "dot" green.

I did some blue ones too.

LOVE this cheap and easy technique.

And I LOVE this verse.

It is one of my SSMT from last year.

Oh my, this flower takes me to my happy crafty place =)

The largest flower in the background was white.

I painted it with a Mr. Huey's mist

and then layered the other flowers on with a brad in the middle.

I love adding little elements to my pages that are simple and everyday 

like the staples on the acrylic ticket.

This is the first page I've ever added staples to,

but I LOVE it!!

I'll be doing this a lot more.

Now I want to get a teeny tiny stapler too =)

Some more of my little "dots".

I experimented with many different fonts while writing.

My pages are all handwritten,

but some of my pages are just a little different in the writing.

I just looked it up online and just wrote my letters a little different.

It gives the whole mini interest and depth.

LOVE.

Here is the back of the mini.

I haven't added anything to it.

It is so beautiful in all it's embossed beauty.

I may just leave it alone =)

I hope you've enjoyed this little peek at my Promise Standing mini.

Much Crafty Love ~~ dawn
