A Charmed LIfe Mini Album :)

I cant tell you how thrilled I was to find out that the July Album kit at My Creative Scrapbook featured A Charmed Life collection!  This is one of my most favorite lines of paper ever!  I love everything about it, the awesome color combo, the fun patterns, but most of all I adore that is says LUCKY & CHARMED all over!!

 

 

I am going to share the mini album I created along with some tips on how I created each page! All of the pages have some sort of pocket, that is the easiest way I know to add photos to a mini album and be able to add all the fun embellishments! 

Here is a pic of the competed mini album.  The ribbon on the binding was originally a pale yellow, I used the Mister Huey's mist to color it!

Here is the cover.  Lots of layers and light distressing.  I also misted the flower, it was originally white.

 On this page I cut some of the elements from the pattern paper and layered them to create a pocket.  The orange and green photo mats easily slide out for photos and/or journaling.  Also I cut a corner of the doily and misted it for another layer.

More layering and distressing using the pattern paper and die cuts that come in the kit.  I used a border punch to the 3x4 journaling card for fun!  The journaling is my pocket for the photo mats. I created this pocket by only adding my adhesive on the left side and the bottom of the card.

\

This is my favorite page in the album!  I cut out the LUCKY from the pattern paper, layered it on top of the polaroid die cut and used that for my pocket to hold my photo mats!

Lots of fussy cutting elements from the paper for this page!  I layered them all together to create the pocket here.

  I used another journaling card to create a pocket on this page.  To create the window I punched the scallop circle, filled a sandwich bag (cut down to size) with some of the  Studio Calico sequins that are included in the kit, adhered the bag shut and then adhered it to the back of the card.  I added a piece of cardstock behind the window to give it a solid background so you could see the sequins better.  I popped the entire card up with dimensional adhesive. 

 

The last page, I used a banner that I created from the pattern paper for the base of my pocket. I layered some elements I cut from the pattern paper and die cuts, along with another misted flower.  I added another corner of the doily and my album is done!

June Creative Kit

 

Today I am sharing the layouts I created with the June My Creative Scrapbook Creative Kit!

 

It was packed full of Imaginisce Perfect Vacation collection!  I love the awesome color combos and fun patterns that are in this collection! 

 

My first layout was for a sketch at Creative Scrappers!  It was fun to play with the block style!  The kit comes with the camera stamp, I used it with the pattern paper for a fun embellishment!

I used some photo from the our staycation at the Great Wolf Lodge!  Banners are probably my favorite thing to add to a page!

I was so happy with how perfectly all the colors in this collection matched my photos!

I love these photos of my little guy!  I don't usually like a lot of straight lines on my layouts, but I had fun with this one!

My last layout has nothing to do with vacations!  I turned the geo tag paper upside down so it looked like rain and it worked perfectly for my photo!



Today I am going to share with you how I made the scallop circle chipboard mini album look like a flower!

 

The center of the flower is about a 4 1/2" circle and the petals are 1" circles, you will need 18 for each page.  After I punched/cut them all out I inked the edges.

 

I adhered the petal first.  Since the circles overlap slightly I adhered every other circle first then went back and adhered the others on top.

 

 

I adhered the inner circle next.

 

Repeat this process until all your pages are covered.  Punch a hole on each page for your binging ring.

 

Here is my finished mini album...

 

For each page I added a 3x3 photo mat and had fun adding all the fun embellishments that you get with the kit!!







Jot Magazine!!

 

I am so excited to have one of my layouts in Jot Magazine!

This magazine is so full of gorgeous inspiration! 

 

Here is my layout..
