Beautiful Memories Album...

Just popping in to share a paper bag mini album I created recently, using some papers from way back when (many years ago from the ScrapCake).  Most of the items and products used in this album are years old - I'm on a venture to use up some of my older stash.  My older stash is dwindling, but not sure my family would agree with that .. considering they think my studio looks more like a shop. 

I haven't showed off all the pages, but several and I just adore the flowers, most are from Prima Marketing.  All pages include flip pages, with magnets, which enables so much more room to add photographs or journal areas.  

Enjoy the weekend ...

Inspirational Dreams Mini Album - The Scrapbook Store

One of my favourite things to create is mini albums and have been making them for many years now.  I mostly use the same methods of making each album, just changing sizes, and adding various types of flap pages, and tag holders.  Most of my learning has come from you brilliant You Tubers, Kathy Orta King and Ginger, from My Sisters Scrapper.  This album I used stack the deck for adding the pages, though I really LOVE Kathy Orta's hidden hinge method. 

I've used the Penelope Dee, Mother of Pearl paper collection, which was part of my design team product this month - so pretty!!  The title 'dreams' is from the Dusty Attic Word Pack #17 - you get 4 great titles on one chipboard sheet, bargain. The inspirational and make a wish are from my stash from many years ago and I just had to use as they were perfect for my album.  

Out of left over papers, I created some quick cards ....

Romance Mini Album - The Scrapbook Store

This month for The Scrapbook Store, I got to design with the beautiful Prima Marketing 'Cherry Blossom Collection' papers and elements.  Also, a gorgeous selection of 2Crafty chipboard elements which I painted in the Tim Holtz, Tarnished Brass paint.  This paint for me, has the most glorious luster and replicates a realist gold in colour, which captures a nice sheen in various light settings.  The Kaisercraft Rhinestone's and tiny half pearls were used to jazz up the chipboard pieces...

I used the Blue Fern Studio's Romance title which I picked up at a bargain price in The Scrapbook Store's 70% off sale. If you haven't checked out the sale pages, its well worth the visit with various categories such as 30%, and 70% off.  These sale pages are updated often, so always something new to browse, and a great bargain or ten to pick up. The Romance tittle was painted in white, dried and then a nice layer of 'Diamond' stickles added.  When painting this piece I made a point of only painting the top surface, as the darkness of the chipboard piece being left as is, really makes the title pop.

There are numerous pages, and below I have highlighted some.  Lace, rhinestones, pearls, with oodles of tags of various types - including using the Prima Marketing - Cherry Blossom, Journaling Note cards.  Left over flowers from the Cherry Blossom collection, I used to highlight some of the tags.  The larger page tags, I used left over pattern papers and a mixture of the Cherry Collection Washi Tape.  I adore, how this tape is transparent and the tape gives a different look depending on the colour cardstock and/or texture you use as a background.

Life is Beautiful with You in it – Mini Album - Guest Designing for Meg's Garden

Hi everyone,

Long time no 'see' ..... I will still be quiet for now, till my creative side bounces back into gear.  Life has had a few hurdles..(too many obviously), but the road is smoothing out again 'now'. Just know I have thought of everyone and miss you all very much .....and in time, I will be back...

Love to all
Sandie

It was a pleasure to do some guest design work for Meg’s Garden back in Sept.  I worked with the beautiful paper collection called ‘Dreaming in the Meadows’, and due to the size of my project, included some card papers from previous collections of when I was a DT member.  The papers all matched perfectly.  

Did you know that Meg's Garden is an Australian business, located in Adelaide with an online store?  The papers are designed by Denise Ann, an Australian designer. 

I have been pondering over Christmas gifts for my family, (this was written back in Sept) and know my Mother just loves my Mini Albums.  I was inspired with this album, by two clever individuals – Kathy Orta, and Ginger from My Sisters Scrapper on YouTube.  Both make the most stunning of albums, and I have been itching to make one for some time.  Kathy Orta has created the hidden hinge system which I applied to this particular album, and I used Kathy’s tutorial for the album.

You can find Ginger’s YouTube Chanel 'HERE'...

and Kathy Orta’s Chanel 'HERE'...

These albums do make perfect gifts, and Meg’s Garden stocks the perfect paper sets, and embellishments for such creations.

The album itself has many hidden pockets, including side opening panels, which are held in place via magnets – ample room for photographs, and journaling and even mementos.  The photographs do not do the album justice, and do not show enough of the details, but certainly gives a good indication of what can be made. 

I also used the Leafy Foliage die throughout the album for all my foliage requirements, it was perfect and a leaf shape to match each flower size.  I so love that die, and it is available at Meg’s Garden!!!

Kaisercraft Christmas Carol and Santa's List Paper Collection - Mini Album, Card, BTP Creations

 ..and another glorious paper collection by Kaisercraft called Christmas Carol.  I used the Georgian album by Kaisercraft to create this album.

 I used die's to create flowers from the Christmas Carol paper pad.

 Examples of several of the pages inside.  I created several pockets, and used the tags in the paper collection to fill the pockets.

and a card, which was cut from my Silhouette Cameo....

The inside looks so cool with the little presents...

 Another gorgeous Christmas paper line by Kaisercraft, called Santa's List.  I adore this bright, bubbly and fun paper range - perfect for this cute little photograph of my darling son, Jesse.

Lots of layers, using every elements I could squeeze onto it - you know me, I have to fill the page up!

..and below is my first ever constructed Holly Silhouette beyond the page piece.   Oh boy, was this a learning experience - as I cut the paper wrong.  I added a punched border, but really can only hang on the wall with such a border.  It is my first attempt at one of these ...and hopefully I'll be happier with my next one.

 

Thanks for dropping by for a visit, and to see further projects using this paper range, please visit the Kaisercraft Blog, 'HERE'.
