Christmas mini album

Hi fellow Scrappers..

It's Nanné here sharing a 6x6 chipboard square mini album with you today.  I absolutely love mini albums and creating them is so much fun, with little details here and there..  I filled my mini album with clean acetate pages and 6x6 panel pieces so I could get more places to add photos to..

Here is what I created:

I used the 6x6 chipboard square mini album , which is absolutely the best to create a fun filled mini album and then adding some of the panels to get even more cute pages in side..

The cover always seems to be the most challenging.  I wanted to add some layers and thought the berry frame was a perfect touch for the base.. I also love the new pick up file, so that definitely had to be there and because my album will be filled with love, the hearts had to be there..

Now lets get to the inside of the album:

I created lots of pocket pages for this album, so I can add lots of photos inside of my grand daughter .. plus, I absolutely love tags and tabs, so those were included as well.. I used the wood veneer numbers to add dates on the tag and the tabs..

I also added some clear Acetate pages in my album, once again to add some extra pages for more photos.. Plus, the acetate are so thin that they really don't add much bulk.. To help recognize the acetate pages, I used washi tape for the edges .

On the left side is a pocket page that I trimmed down from a bigger page, then used my Bind it All to create the holes for the binding.. On the right side, I got a photo mat going, used one of the die cuts from the paper set add on and then used the words Naught and Nice from the Christmas Sentiments word set.

for this page, I also added acetate  (a page and a half page) in the middle of the two chipboard pages.. I love the swirly filigree tree and wanted to add that to the half page, the photo of our tree will sit on the photo mat behind the tree..

For these pages, I created an envelope using my Envelope punch board, added a magnet and then some tags to tuck behind it for photo mats.  In the middle of the pages, I added another clear acetate page, using papers, die cuts and the Christmas sentiment from the sentiment set.

When you flip the clear acetate page you get to the my panel page. I used the 6x6 Harlequin panel which I attached to a clear acetate sheet, then covered with papers and some of the die cuts,   used a large wood veneer number 3 for the tab.. I love the way it added another fun page to my album.

Then flipping the page, you get to the other side of the Harlequin panel page.. used a circle punch to punch some circles from the papers, creating a small corner pocket, added the photo mats and then some die cuts.  I also created some large tags which I tucked behind the corner pocket I created using the santa letter and envelope from the Santa letter set.

and yet another pocket page..LOL  obsessed with tags much?,  well yes, yes I am...LOL   We'll skip the left page since its obvious but the right side.. Another clear acetate page and added a Christmas Bulb on both sides with a paper circle in between, so you can't see through it.. added the twine to look like is hanging in place.. the sentiment squares are corner tabs, so I can tuck photo mats behind it to hold it in place.. totally in love with this page set up..

flipping the acetate page, you get to my heart panel page.. I had to trim the side so I could get to match the binder rings, but yet again I got a fun page to add to my album.. Thought about adding a photo mat to the page, but with the acetate page next to it, it seemed too busy, so added a sentiment card instead, which came with the paper set..

and for my last page, I decided to try to keep it simple.. I had so many amazing bulky pages, so I had to try not to add more bulk ..LOL I decided to add a flip pocket, so I could get two photos onto this page, plus maybe a journaling spot when you flip the pocket up.. just some die cuts and then the frosty sentiment, but I used it as a frosting cookies.. LOL

and that is my Christmas themed mini album... Thank you for taking the time to check out my post and till next time..

Hugs

Merry Christmas card and ornament

Hi fellow crafters..

I'm here sharing a card and matching ornament which I created as my design team project for Creative Embellishments, using the snow globe shaker chippie, some of the snow flakes and pine trees..

Here is what I created:

I adore the shaker chippies and when I seen the snow globe, I knew that I wanted an ornament out of it.. would of been super cute with a photo inside, but I thought of that after the fact ..LOL

I used some papers by Simple Stories and one of the cards had this cute snowman on it with the sentiment, so decided to add those.. I then filled it with lots of goodies and attached the back.. super easy and so cute..  I did feel like the bottom could of used something, but I have a cat and I know that little glitter and frilly things get him wanting to play with them ..LOL

for my card, I used some metal dies to get the background layers, then added the pine trees and some clear plastic, then finally adding the sentiment.. I used distress oxides to color all of my chippies, except for the white ones, that is paint..

and there you have my quick projects for todays reveal..  Thank you for stopping by and checking out my projects.. Till next time..

Winter

Hi fellow scrappers..

I'm here sharing another winter themed layout with you for todays' reveal over at Creative Embellishments.  I absolutely love Winter, the snow and all the holidays that come with it..  My daughter sent me a few photos of my grand daughter as she was playing in the snow and I knew this was the perfect time to get those scrapped..

Here is what I created:

I once again used a white piece of cardstock for my background, grabbed the snowflake stencil and some Worn Lipstick distress Oxide ink and was able to create a fun background for my layout.. the papers I used are by My Minds Eye, its a small 6x6 pack called Oh What Fun.. super fun colors in that collection.

How about a few close ups:

I love these snow flakes in the Creative Embellishment store.. The package of smaller ones comes with a lot of snow flakes, enough so that you can get lots of projects done.. I added some rick-a-rack ribbon to make it look like they were hanging down from the top of my layout, I added star dust Stickles to the snowflakes for shimmer, but that was super hard to photograph ..

I also added all three of the trees, which I painted with Distress Oxides Peeled paint (green), then added drops of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Pink and white, but the white took on the green paint a bit..

and there you have my winter themed layout for todays reveal.  Thank you for stopping by and checking out my project, till next time.

Winter Babe-CE

Hi fellow scrappers... I'm here sharing a winter themed baby layout with you all, that I created as my design team project for Creative Embellishments.. I love looking at old photos on my daughters facebook feed and seeing how our grand daughter has grown and developed the last two years.  I decided I wanted to grab a few photos from her feed and create a winter themed layout using some of the snow flake chippies from the Creative Embellishments shop..

Here is what I created:

I want to apologize for the quality of the photo but living in Finland during this time of year, well its gloomy.. We only have about 6 hrs of daylight and even then, you can't really call it day light..LOL

I used some of my favorite papers by Simple Stories and added my chipboard elements to match the color scheme.. I used Distress Oxides again to color my chipboard, which I think is such an easy way to add color to them, plus I used the same oxides to create my background with, so another great way to get your colors to match..

I absolutely love these hanging snowflakes.. they are the sweetest element to add to any layout .. I wanted to stay within my color scheme so colored most of them light blue and then the one orangy brown to match my papers.. which is kind of hard to see the true colors in my photos..

I wanted to create some clusters of elements around my photos, so I used two of the harlequin chipboard elements, painting them to match and adding a few snow flakes here and there..  I also kept with the harlequin shapes, by using the distressed shapes stencils and some white paint around the edge of my layout.   For that final little touch of detail, I used the distressed script stamp and some blue Archival ink to stamp some text all over my layout..

and there you have my winter themed layout for todays Design Team reveal..  I want to thank you for stopping by and I hope I inspired you to get your snow flakes out and get crafting..  Till next time

Sweet Memories

Hi fellow scrappers... 

I'm here today sharing a "sweet" themed layout with you all that I created as my design team project for Creative Embellishments..

Here is what I created:

Because I feel almost obsessed with mason jars, I came up with the idea of filling these jars with a bunch of Xmas goodies.  I started by first applying white gesso the jars, let that dry and added the color using Distress Oxides.   The blue for the jar is  Tumbled Glass and for the lids, I used Vintage photo and Rusty Hinge Distress Oxides..

I also adhere some clear transparency film to the backs of the jar, so I could glue the candies to that, creating the illusion of filled jars..

The candy's and candy canes I printed on my printer and then colored with my Copic markers, they are attached to the jars using foam..

I wanted to add a little something to edges of my layout and the snowflake stencil was perfect.. Used some light texture paste in white and then doodled some white lines with my white gel pen, I also added some white Nuvo drops to the centers of the snowflakes and randomly around the background of my layout.  The title to my layout was created using a Silhouette Cameo.

The photos are of my daughter and little grand daughters first Christmas 2 yrs ago..

and there you have my sweet layout for todays reveal.. thank you for stopping by and I hope I gave you an idea of how to use these awesome jars from the Creative Embellishments online store..

Till next time

Rubber Ducky layout

Hi fellow scrappers.. 

I'm here sharing a cute little bath themed layout I created as my design team project for Creative Embellishments, using the adorable duck shaker chippy and lots of cute bubbles, which can also be found in the Creative Embellishments shop..

Here is what I created:

Our little grand daughter loves her little rubber ducky's.. She doesn't wanna take a bath with out them ..

How about a few close ups:

I used Distress Oxydes to color my chipboard elements.. so easy and inexpensive way to color chippies.. I also added white Nuvo drops to my chippies..

I used lots of bubble chippies and attached them to my layout using foam tape, which gives them dimension..

for the title and wording, I created those using my Silhouette Cameo..

and there you have my layout for today's reveal.. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my project.. Till next time..
