Hello Everyone!!! Here is a project I want to share for the swap I did over at "My Scrap Room". It was called a "Colorless" Mini Album. We were to make an album 4 x 6 with six pieces of chipboard using only white, cream, tan, and beige along with tea dye distress ink and black ink for stamping. My album is 4 x 6 x 4-yeah it is really thick and I made it twice trying to reduce the size of it-but no it came out thick too the second time. Oh well, I have another mini for me. I will show that one to you soon too. The first photo is of the album cover.
Here is the first and second page. On the left is a page with a couple of tags and all metal embellishments are from Recollection. On the right is one of my hand crocheted flowers with a bird die cut from CottageCutz. I used the Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch Around the page for the photo mats.
Page 3 & 4 is tag pockets using lace and a crochet flower. The leaves are a CottageCutz die and so is that beautiful Birdcage on the tag on the right.
Page 5 and 6 are elements that open to hold photos. The flowers are Prima and some that I won at the Crop at CKC in Jacksonville. The wreath is a CottageCutz die. The stamps are Cloud 9 and something I got a JoAnn's on clearance a while back.
Page 7 & 8 include a little CottageCutz envelope that opens to include a little mini inside. The photo mat on the right is spellbinders dies with "Want2Scrap bling. There are a couple of Marvey Punch glittered hearts behind the crochet flower.
For page 9 & 10 I have another page that opens to place a couple photos inside. The tags on the right are again the pretty CottageCutz Birdcage. The doilies throughout are Cheery Lynn. This was a blast to make. I really enjoyed it and hope to do it again-just think how cool this would be for Halloween. Thanks for visiting today. Below is a video in case you want to see more of the album. Please excuse the lens cap in the lower left hand corner. I video recorded this at work so I could send the album off to my swappie and didn't notice the boo boo until it was too late. Thanks for watching. Happy Crafting.
