Studio Calico's Sundrifter mini album *photo heavy*

Hello...warm weather today in Central Illinois which is perfect for the project I'm sharing today.  Studio Calico's Sundrifter is a great summer line! I created this mini book for the design team at
The Scrapbooking Studio. 
 
I started with the Geotag Handbook and sprayed it with Mr. Huey in Garden. 
I covered the front with patterned paper, Thickers from American Crafts, coordination number stickers, and my fav new embellishment: Photo Slides from Crate Paper. I also used a cut file from my Silhouette (Dear Lizzy Chevron card # 38761 ).
 
 
I used a combination of the photo sleeves as well as the Sundrifter Handbook inserts throughout my book. 
 
 
Love the word bubble journaling spots!  I even got out my electric typewriter for this project! The stamped sentiment is from Mama Elephant.


 
In one of the pockets, I added paper confetti, sequins, coordinating die cuts, and wood veneer pieces and sewed the top shut. 



 
 
This page actually is a pocket. I adhered the bottom of the photo inside the pocket and added washi tape from Pebbles, as well as triangle stickers from the coordinating 12x12 sticker sheet.
 


 
A Project Life trick I used here...cutting a photo in half to fit the different sizes of pockets. In the upper left corner, I used a cut file for my journaling.  Love chevrons!



 
Here, I used one of the photo frames that comes with the die cut package and added journaling and a cute feather.

 







 
Thanks for stopping by and looking. I loved scrapping about one of our favorite family vacations!

Clear Scraps 6x6 Tab Acrylic Album

Hello all. Hope those of you who got hit with a large amount of snow have dug yourself out. My kids are on spring break so not a good start. 
 
Today I'm up on the Clear Scraps blog sharing my mini acrylic album using the 6x6 Tab Album. I've loved Clear Scraps' mini albums for a very long time! They are so fun to work with as well as great quality.
 
 
I used photos of my adorable nephew, Deacon, and the line Little Boy Blue by Crate Paper. 
 
I used a stamped quote from the Ali Edwards' Technique Tuesday Sweet Baby Clear Stamp set.
 
 
I used many of the chipboard and cardstock sticker pieces that coordinate with the line. My arrow is cut from the Cameo Silhouette.  The "welcome sweet baby" is another stamp from the Sweet Baby Clear Stamp Set.

 
New decorative pins from Maya Road! Love the colors! I also included a wooden veneer word bubble from Studio Calico.

 
I used another cut file from the Silhouette, as well as made the heart tab.  The flair is from {a flair for buttons}

 
 
Here, I used another tab from the Silhouette. The stamped circle is from the Smitten Clear Stamp set by Mama Elephant.


Some cute flair from the Dear Lizzy line Lucky Charm and a stamped sentiment from the same Mama Elephant set.  I also added some cute wooden veneer chevrons from Studio Calico.

 
Love this cut file from the Silhouette shop designed by Dear Lizzy!  I added some wooden veneer stars from Studio Calico.

 
 
I love making minis for other people..including my family!  These photos were taken by the very talented Sara Lefler. Visit her Facebook page here:  SaraBeth Photography.

Clear Scraps Clearly Framed layout

 
It's Saturday!  Now where is spring? It keeps snowing here in Central Illinois. I don't like it. But, the nice thing is that the days are longer.   
 
 
Today I am sharing a layout I created for Clear Scraps using their very fun Mascils and Clearly Framed acrylic pieces. 
  
I love the Mascils...they are a lot of fun to play with. I used the 6x6 Circle Mascil and some Antique Linen Distress Paint to cover the left half of my page. I incorporated pieces of my Studio Calico scrapbook kit from February as well. 

 
A close up of the embellishments that include flair, wooden veneer pieces, patterned paper, and a stamped image onto vellum (the stamp is from Mama Elephant..check them out on Two Peas!)
 
 
 

 
I covered the  Clearly Framed Medium Circle Deco Frame with patterned paper from Amy Tangerine. I like to use liquid adhesive first and then cut around the frame. Last, I use a sanding tool to smooth the edges. 

 
Hope you have a good weekend!  Thanks for reading!

Clear Scraps Lucky Send It Clear Card

I'm up on the Clear Scraps blog today with a fun St. Patrick's Day card I created with the Belgrave Send It Clear card!
 
Before assembling the card, I covered both flaps with this fun green/white chevron paper from
 Amy Tangerine.  I then cut my arrow, shamrock, and title from the Silhouette.


 
Before adhering my shamrock, I adorned it with bakers twine from Whisker Graphics and some fun sequins.
 
 
The inside is covered with paper from Echo Park's Scoot line. The stamped sentiment is from a clear stamp set from Mama Elephant (something I discovered on 2Peas!).  The arrow is another Silhouette file! 

 
Be sure to check out the Clear Scraps blog for more acrylic inspiration!  Also, you can check out the shop to find this card and many more different styles! Thanks for stopping by!
