I am sharing my project with you all. This project is my entry for #dmccrownstage3, a challenge held by Crafters Corner. I made a Gazebo to hold a tiny mini album of size 4" x 4" x 3" which has 6 interactive pop up page and a capacity to hold 30ish pics. . I have used Whispering Love paper pad sent to me by Crafters Corner.
Every page in my octogonal album is handcut (also bcoz I do not have an octogonal die.) The front is beautifully embellished with chipboards and flowers....dmc glitter, sequins and gold foiled paper. I have added many layers to add interest to my album front...but thats not it...there is something hidden on the front....you will be able to see that in the video.
This album has a fun shaker spine filled with cutesy stuff...that was the first thing I made when I was working on the album and the closure is using laces and ribbons.
The Gazebo is built from the scratch and it have numerous details with I have added over couple of days. It is adorned with 7 shaker windows filled with glitter and sequins. All the shingles on the roof are handpainted and hand laid 1 by 1....the moss just adds so much drama to the roof. Apart from this the grey wall...grass..planters...flowers...there are so many pretty details. I still thought something was missing and I added lights to my gazebo as the final touch....
I have used black glitter cardstock and 3 plain cardstocks in blush pink, bright pink and olive green to compliment the colors of the paperline.I am happy to have participate in this which really got me out of my slumber and made me think creatively. I would like to thank Crafters Corner for this amazing Challenge.
Hello everyone
Today I have a very colorful Mini Album with a Box to share with you all. As most of my projects are, this one is made on commission and is one of my first mini albums where I have used my die cutting machine extensively.....phew.
The album is 10" by 10" in size with a 3 1/2" spine with 5 very interactive pages. This book can hold upto 100 pictures with 22 journalling tags to record memories and events. I have used very simple yet very playful paperline called High Style from Simple Stories....its not a new collection but when I saw it...I knew it would do just right for a very colorful album. I decorated the front of the album with strips of all the papers included in the pack along with black and white printed paper polkas. I have used a lot of gold foiled paper on this project to bring out the colors...looks amazing. A lot was going on and so I kept it all flat and gave a acetate frame on the front to add one picture....which would break the pattern really well. I also kept the spine and back pretty simple while just adding a white embossed camera icon on the spine...keeping spine simple allows the book to lay flat.
This album is housed in a 12" by 12" by 5" MDF box which is also very playfully decorated and has a pocket at the back of the lid to hold more pictures and memories. I used colorful paper polkas on the top of the box while I did the paper piecing on the sides of the box....it makes it all look so interesting. I also added gold heat embossed Happy Birthday sentiment in the center of the box on a layers paper stack....that just completed it all.
I encourage you all to watch the walk through of this album to have a better look at this album...I am sure you all will enjoy the video.
Here are a few closeups of the pages from this album...there are a lot of fun elements included on every page.I used gold foil stickers, rub on stickers and die cut elements to decorate all the pages. Apart from all this, I used acetate window frames and lot of interactive page designs to keep it interesting and fresh till the very end.

Welcome back to my blog...and today I have a new Mini album/ Scrapbook for you all. I am still making vintage themed albums and all of these are made on commission....a lot of vintage themed project fans out there. I have been using Eno Greetings Retro series paper pack along with this awesome paper pad from DCWV called VINTAGE MEMORIES.
This is a 9" by 7" in size with a 2 1/4" spine and has 4 very interactive pages which can hold 36 to 40 pictures. A variety of picture sizes can be used right from 3" by 4" to 5" by 7". I also added some white photomats so it becomes easy for my clients to know where to place pictures and of what size.....also it gives me an idea about the final thickness of the album....so it doesn't have crocodile mouth. I encourage you to watch the walkthrough of the album to see it upclose.
The front of this album is decorated with beautiful paper from the 12" x 12" papers from the same collection. These papers come with gold accents and black accents which is beautiful in real. A black chequered lace runs on the front and back cover which is sourced from local stores. I have a shaker window in the front with my clients name and filled with super fun sequins in all shades of gold, silver, clear and back along with some gold sparkle dots. To add the finishing details, I added a pocket watch charm with a chain in the front while keeping the spine simple. Here are some closeups of the decorations in my album.
