With the first big snow comes the first Christmas card! I used some old Cosmo Cricket paper for the main part.
I wraped some hemp twine around the main panel. I used a black Glitz Design rub-on in the background. A safety pin with a knot of ribbon finishes the look.
Here is my staff challenge layout for the month of October at Scrappin' with Friends. I used a couple fall pictures of my dog from last year. He is so photogenic despite his hyperness!
The title is white BG chipboard letters that I inked. The paper you see in the above photo was originally much lighter in colour. I inked and glimmer misted it.
The left page is at West Edmonton Mall. I used some clothing tags for shopping accents. Anna of course doesnt have these same stores in Spain so it will be a cool way to remember some of the stores we like here.
Adorable dress charm. The colour just went really well with this page.
Some concert pics! I also included the Marianas trench ticket which includes the data and location.
This ticket is from one of those big rolls you buy when you are doing like a 50/50 draw or something. I like this style because it is not to stiff and is only black and white so it is east to coordinate with.
These letters were cut out with my cuttlebug.
The right page has a pcket. In it is a file folder that has pictures inside. There is also another photo behind that.
My friends and I really love to skate. I love this sticker by Jolees By You. It is so realistic!
I made a pocket for the page on the left. The tag has a picture on both sides.
The page on the right is one of my favourites. I used some paper by Glitz designs. Anna LOVES leopard print so it really suits her. I painted the grungeboard key with weathered wood crackle paint.
Another pocket with zipper trim! the orange piece unfolds and inside are 4 pictures!
I used the stamps from Stampers Annonymous called School Desk.
Sticker frame from Glitz Designs.
The picture on the left doubles as a pocket. Inside is a tag with some journaling.
Crown sticker from Glitz Designs.
The black frame sticker is from Glitz Design. it is very glittery and pretty.
Ribbon on the binder rings.
A word bead on a safety pin. I added some clear ep to the flower.
On the right hand page I used some pattern paper that has a map of Canada.
These prima flowers matched my colour scheme really well!
You may notice that the right hand page is shaped like a flipped Alberta! This is no coincidence but you will have to wait to see the rest of the album!
This is a bead which I put on the safety pin and attached to the flower. Also added an adorable dragonfly charm!
This smaller page has a pocket! I stiched the chain typed thing to the edge of it.
Another safety pin and charm! So cute!
These pages are very "interactive". On the left the red tri-fold opens to reveal more pictures!
Behind each picture is a pocket to narrate the series of photos.
On the right hand page I used so grungeboard hinges (heat embossed) to make a door that opens. There is no picture but behind it I included more photos.
This flower is on the door thing so the shank button goes right through th the other side. I put another safety pin through it and added some ribbon.
Grungeboard arrow: antique linnen crackle paint
To trip this pocket I used part of a zipper! Love it! The skate embelishment if frome Jolees by You.
The photo on the left page is attached with a brad and can be twisted around. Behind it is another picture.
The black tri-fold comes out and has 3 pictures inside. On the back there are lines for journaling.
Tattered Angels chipboard
Here is my completed science project! I have been so busy and there has been NO time to post. Sorry about my slacking but I do promise that I am working on 2 new mini albums and I will possibly even make a video to show them to you :) I will have them done within a few weeks and will have them posted soon after. Dont worry, there will be more to come before then too.
Close up of cover: BG white chipbaord stickers, cuttlekids letter die
The mini album is bound with 2 big binder rings. I added a bunch of coordinating tiger coloured ribbon.
All the plant pieces are from Micheals or something. I have had them for years...
I stamped the tiger on some cardstock, watercoloured it and added some glossy accents.
All the typed info is printed on regualr printer paper. I used a tea bag technique combined with some inking to distress it.
The sticks are glued on with a couple drops of glossy accents (works as adhesive too!) and I put one decrative stich in the middle with some embroidery floss.
I made the photo matt look like a tag by adding a half circle at the top.
The tree was cut using the paper dolls cartridge for the cricut machine.
This page has a large pocket which I used to tuck the tag into. Here is another glossy tiger circle attached with a pin.
I beaded the border thingy. I really love the cool teeth/claw pointy beads! they are super cool!
This page is very simple. I added another stick and I wanted the tiger pin to stand out. Isnt it cute?
I just happened to find the pin laying around! I cut the pionty thing off and used glossy accents to adhere it.
I used a handmade newspaper flower on this page. More of the cool grass stuff too!
My favourite part on this page is the tooth charm. Same kind as before but I attached it to the stick with a chain.
I used the distressed stripes embossing folder and some more of the cool mesh stuff from an oranges bag. The text paper is from a thesaurus and the cool light orange wavy border is from doodlebug.
