Precious-mini album

Hi fellow scrappers.. 

 I'm here to share a precious little mini album I created as my design team project for Creative Embellishments, using the new 6 x 4.5" rectangle mini album set.  In my previous post last week, I showed how I used three of the pieces from the mini album set to create a tri-fold frame, well this is what I did with the remaining two pieces.

I used G45 papers to create my album and used a hinge binding method to add the pages to the album cover.  I used one of the pretty name plates from the Name plates set to decorate my cover. I also found a rub on word "precious" in the my stash and created my own flowers to match my papers.. I used Distress Oxides "fired Brick" to color the ornate part of the name plate and then just white paint for the middle part. covered the ornate pieces with Nuvo Crystal drops for shine (which is hard to see in the photo).

The album became so bulky that I was afraid I wouldn't be able to fit any photos in it..LOL

Here area  few photos of the inside of the album..

I still have to add photos and the journaling, which is always the hardest part..

The photos in this album are of my grand daughter during the first few days of her life back in 2017

I used the cut a-parts and stickers from paper collection to decorate my pages.. I could only use flat embellishments :)

I've added some pockets with pull out tags and photo mats which I will fill up with lots of photos and journaling.. I want this to be a beautiful keep sake for her for when she is older.. I want my thoughts in this album and how excited we were of her arrival..  I think its important for the grand parents to create keepsakes as well, for the child/children to know also their perspective on their arrival to this world.

and there you have a few peeks into my mini album, which by the way so much fun to create.. I love being able to add those little details that you wouldn't normally onto a large scrapbook page..

I hope I have inspired you to get a mini album of your started and if you are, you can find a list of items used at the bottom of my post..

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my project.. till next time

Hugs

Tri fold frame-CE reveal

Hi everyone.. I'm here to share a Tri-fold photo frame I created as my design team project for Creative Embellishments, using three pieces from the Rectangle mini album set.. These are so sturdy that they can stand up on their own when pieced together using cardstock, which I did with this frame.. I then took the remaining two pieces from the album set and created an album to go with my frame.  I will be sharing that in next post. I'm super excited to share that with you.  But for todays reveal:

Here is what I created:

I used some of my favorite Graphic45 papers to decorate my tri-fold frame, adding flowers and then using some of the wood veneer butterflies. 

I took one of the wood veneer butterflies, cut it into two pieces and tucked them both underneath my rose cluster.

for this butterfly, I added some pink Nuvo drops to the spine..

I used the Precious from the Girl word set, painted it white and then covered the front with clear Nuvo Crystal drops.. I created a nice shine to the top of it..  Adding a few drops of Pink Nuvo drops randomly on my project.

and that is my project today's reveal.. This was a lot of fun to create.. Thank you for stopping by today and checking out my project.. Till next time.

Mixed media Spring Tag-CE reveal

Hi fellow scrappers.   It's Nanné here to share a large mixed media tag I created.. Spring is in the air and I really wanted to create something spring themed, so a large tag was the perfect crafty project ..

Here is what I created:

I was trying to play with different colors than normal.. Kind of getting myself out of my comfort zone.. I'm scared of color..LOL

I had a lot of fun creating my tag, using lots of different mixed media elements and layering..

These dragonflies are the cutest.. painted mine white and then added drops of Nuvo Crystal drops..  Added the little nest with eggs, cause its spring :)

I also used one of the chain frames, but didn't realize I had basically covered it all with flowers.. lesson learned..

I also used up some of the chicken wire panel I had left over from a previous project.. Its definitely one of the best things, when you can save bits and pieces for a second or even a third project..

and that is my project for todays reveal.. Thank you for stopping by and checking out my project.. 

Till next time.
