Bouquet Album Cover

Hi everyone, it's Taylor here, sharing a little project. I've started working on a mini-album (ok, it should have been finished by now, but life intervened) and today I'm sharing the front cover. I started with the Mix and Match Album #2 from Creative Cuts and More (in Bazzill Kraft).  This is a super cool little set - you get 2 each of 4 pre-cut pieces of card stock, each one 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". You can order different sizes of album rings separately.

I started by stamping my gorgeous Baroque Bouquet Cling Jumbo rubber stamp directly onto my card stock. I added a bit of color using regular colored pencils from my daughter's art stash.  I added sponging all around the outer edges of the page. Then I stamped Versamark ink directly to the card stock, and poured Deep Impressions Clear Embossing powder over the whole thing. I heated it from underneath, and once it was all melted I applied a second coat.

My buckle was made using a buckle from Buckle Set #2 and covering it with Shabby White Enamel. It has cool flecks of gold in it, and looks fabulous once heated.  I finished it off with a bit of ribbon. I'll be sharing more album pages in the near future, so stay tuned.

Using a CCM Album Page as a Card!

Hi all!

Sorry for being a couple days late on this post! (I tried to post it on Sunday, but I think because my internet connection was via satellite, it didn't load right...) Better late than never!

But, here we are now! Kim decided to use a "leftover" for this one...

a piece of cardstock that was originally cut for the Mix n Match album!

She tri-folded it into this great card!!

Adding fun vintage images of ladies & butterflies here & there plus some acetate butterflies from her stash (you could easily order some butterflies from CC&M in acetate & then use alcohol inks & Copics to color them!), she created this fun card ready to send off to a girlfriend!!

That's really it!

So try to use up some of those extras or look at things in a different way & use up some old supplies!

Thanks for stopping by!

Mix & Match Mini Album

Hello everyone! Kayla here with another mini album to share with you today! My brother-in-law recently got married. I instantly knew his fiance and I would get along great. I wanted to do something special for her bridal shower. I decided to make her a recipe album.

This is the Mix & Match album. I used Jenni Bowlin Crate Paper and a button to create the flower. I stickled the flourish and added the Antique Label.

I added tag shaped pages in between the mix and match pages. The inside of the cover is a pocket for more recipes. I used the hinge die cut on this page. I googled free recipe cards and printed them off.

Here I used the Scallop Circle Frame in tacky tape and covered it with Doodlebug Sugarcoating Glitter. I also used more hinges and Doodlebug rhinestones.

A close up to show the glitter and rhinestones.

More hinges and rhinestones.

I used Smooch on the hinges that were cut out of chipboard.

On these pages I used the Antique Elegance Frame, Scalloped Circle Frame and more rhinestones.

And finally the last page. I used more hinges and created another pocket to store more recipe cards.

This was so much fun to make! Thanks for stopping by!

4th of July Layout

Hello! Kayla here sharing a layout I recently created! Yes, I know, I am just now getting to my 4th of July pictures from last year! Eek! I didn't have but a couple scraps of 4th of July paper, so I decided to just use red, white and blue cardstock.

I used the Scallop Circle, rhinestones,Filigree rectangle and a page from the Mix & Match album. The sticker and jellishment are from Doodlebug.

I used the rhinestones in place of brads on the sticker and in the center of the jellishment.

I love the little rhinestones in the scalloped edge! The red piece, its a page from the Mix & Match album. I love the fun edges and they make great additions to layout and mats for photos!

Here is another layout using a Mix & Match album page to mat the photos.
