Master Forger Kate's Challenge #1 is to Make Something With Your Kit Other Than a Scrapbook Layout. Some ideas are greeting thank you cards, decorative notebooks, mini album, recycled or upcycled items, wall art, DIY gift bags and tags.... the possibilities are endless.
I pulled out my second set of papers from kit to make my mini album.
I used my Cricut wit the Joys of the Season cartridge and cut the cup out at 6" My photos are 4x6 but I can crop some of the sides and top off making it work on the cup. I also added in a sheet protector to make a sequin page. I love the sequin pages but have not tried them before. I have a total of 7 cups and had to pay attention to how I cut them as a couple of the paper have a direction to them.
Cover Page:
Page 1:
Stampin' Up - Unknown year and collection. This was one of the directional papers that I had to make sure the butterflies were going in the correct direction. I added a large butterfly that I didn't use from a previous kit and a few puffy butterflies on the side.

I used the cup template from the previous page to seal the edges of the sheet protector keeping the top open. I put in the sequins (the ones I included in my kit were not enough to I added more) I made a couple of tags with sequins glued to the bottom of the tags and used a word sticker for the top of the tag. I have a Zot underneath the bird and butterfly to cover up the Zot. I did the same thing with the purple and blue sequins. After I liked the placement, I sealed up the top of the sheet protector and used the cup to seal the handle and cut everything out. I'm quite happy with how this turned out.

Pink fresh - Everyday Musings "Sweet Escape" (2018) - back side of paper. I had two of this paper and I used the second one for the back of the paper. The actual size of the cut file is 6 1/4" tall. I added in a pin wheel paper clip, arrow enamel and a glittery fun sticker (I'm pretty sure that came from one of the Scrapbook and Cards Today kits).
