Mini Album

 

Good Morning 

Hope your Sunday is not too busy. 

Perfect day today to be inspired with winter showing us what it is all about. 

We will be staying in today and crafting for sure 

today we welcome Julie back with another inspirational album.

Hi there

Today's post is a mini album I created using Denise Boddey's

Day Dream Story Book paper range.

I have a video that I will add at the bottom of this post.

To create this album you need 4 sheets of 12" x 12" patterned paper.

The paper I have used is double sided.

If you make this album you could add as many pages as you wish

The papers I used are Dreams, Day Dream, Our Story and Princess for a Day.

For each page:-

score at 6" with the paper right way up,

flip to the left and score at 9" (this will be at the bottom of the page)

Select the paper you want for the front cover,

use glue to attach the back outside panel of this paper to the front outside of the next panel.

Continue doing this until all pages are attached.

If you prefer you could only glue around the edges of each page and create pockets between each page.

I cut a piece of patterned paper 1" x 9" to create the spine cover.

Next I used my corner rounder on the top and bottom outside edges of each page.

Run a small bead of glue along the outside edges of the pocket on each page.

You could run glue along the center fold too if you prefer.

I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink and my distressing tool to ink around the edges 

of each page and pocket edges

I created eight tags to go into the pockets.

I used 300gsm white cardstock to create the tags, they measure 4 1/2" x 8 1/2".

The patterned paper has been cut to 4 1/4" x 8 1/4".

I inked the edges and attached the patterned paper to the front of the tag.

I added and eyelet to the top of each tag using my Crop O Dial and

added some white seam binding through the eyelet.

I created flowers using patterned paper and pale pink velum and my Couture Creations CO724161 die.

I cut some leaves using Honey Bee's Lovely Layers Heart Vine and Uniquely Creative Little Leaves dies

Using Uniquely Creative Island Texture die and the same papers/velum I cut some background fillers

Other embellishments I used were lace and gauze/cheese cloth and Ali Lattice chipboard panel

You will see the embellishing in the video.

I hope you try making this little album. 

It is easy to make, a good size and can be changed and embellished in so many ways.

What would you do

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend  Tina is back again this evening sharing another fantastic Scrapbooking page which she has created for us 

Welcome back Tina

Happy Sunday Everyone. Hope this day treated you well. For my share this evening I used a range of papers from the Le Jardin Romantique range, with Enchanted Florals as my base. This was the perfect collection to document my inclusion into this awesome design team. I mean who wouldn't love to play with the awesome papers and chipboard that Denise designs?  

 I started work with my chipboard first. I used Small florals and Dream total. I covered them with glue and then added gliding flakes.  I let the glue dry and then sanded away gentle with a scrubber the excess flakes. I love how this turned out! Its really effective.

 I  then fussy cut some flowers and punched a few out. I edged them all using distress ink. I also made some hand rolled flowers. These are so much fun to make and best of all they will match your project perfectly. 

I tore a piece of natures romance for across the top and rolled it. Since I had gliding flakes every where!!! I added some into my flowers, this then brought the gliding flakes more around the page which helps make the page more cohesive.

 I then layered all my elements around. 

I add some foam tape under some elements to give extra interest and shadows. I have also bent and twisted some elements to give extra texture .  

I added some prills in the middle of some flowers and a clock fussy cut from chic paper. 

I added some splatters and word strips as well  and some cheese cloth. Lastly I layered my cut down chipboard. I am really pleased with how this turned out. 

 I hope to see some of your creations with this fabulous paper range shared in our group  Facebook  DBD share and inspire group  

Thank you for sharing your scrapping time with me.
