Pink Paper Princess

I knew I wanted to use the Jillibean word stickers for my title on my mini album, but by themselves they just were not bold enough. I am going to share with you how I made them pop!

I cut the word I wanted out of the sticker sheet.

I traced it on cardstock.

I cut on the lines I traced on the cardstock.

I took the sticker off and stuck it to the cardstock.

Here is how it looks on the cover!

MCS September Creative Kit!

The Creative Kit features Creative Agenda by Echo Park. Seeing photos of this collection does not do it justice!! I was a little nervous when I heard I would be using it, until I got it! It was so easy and fun to play with!

Here is one of the layouts I created.

This is not my normal style, I have a hard time with white space! The kits at My Creative Scrapbook have so many pieces in them, I just want to use them all! When I got to this point in the layout, it just looked done, and I absolutely adore the way it looks!!

Here is what I created with the August Album kit:

With all the products that came in this kit, I was able to create TWO mini albums!!

For the first mini album I used two pieces of the chipboard album for the covers. For the inside pages I used the pattern paper and cut it about a quarter of inch smaller than the chipboard covers!

Each page has a 3 1/2" photo mat. I also cut a bunch of cardstock photo frames for extra layers!

I outlined the papers with a black copic marker to help each layer pop!

I fussy cut the flowers from a sheet of the pattern paper for some extra layers!

I used dimensional adhesive on the stickers!

My second mini album with the kit, I used three more pieces of the chipboard album!

It was so much fun to create this cover! I misted the doily to make it red, I embossed the window frame black and added the cute pink roses! I used the ribbon and lace to bind the album!
