Hey everyone! Here is a new mini album for Simple Stories. I’m
using the very beautiful Simple Vintage Indigo Garden collection.
I cut lots of circles for this album. I used metal dies and
cut several in varying sizes. I used the 6x8 Paper Pad and the Simple Vintage
Indigo Garden 12x12 Basics Kit too. I
cut several circles in the biggest size and paired these with a slightly
smaller circle in a different pattern. I machine stitched the two together to make
a pocket. These form the bases of each page.
I cut more circles from a smaller size which would become
the inserts to go inside the pockets. I cut two for each pocket. I cut my
photos into smaller circles and added these to the insets. I added little
ribbon tabs to each circle insert so they could easily be pulled out of the
pockets.
I used the Chipboard Clusters for my front cover and for my
back cover. These were the three large clusters. I stuck two back to back to
form the back cover. I backed the other one with patterned paper and used this
as my front cover. I also added Floral Bits, Foam Stickers and Chipboard
Stickers to the front cover with my title ‘bubbles’ from the black Color Vibez
Alphabet Stickers pack.
I made two of my pages into shaker pockets by cutting
circles in acetate to overlay onto some of the circle pages. I then stitched
the layers together trapping pretty sequins inside.
I used a one Chipboard Frame to make a feature frame out of
one of my favourite photos.
For the photos that I couldn’t cut into circle shapes, I make
little fold-out booklets that also sit inside the circle pockets.
I decorated my pages, inserts and photos with Foam Stickers,
Layered Stickers, stickers from the Sticker Book, Cardstock Stickers, Banner
Stickers, Decorative Brads, Chipboard Stickers, Bits & Pieces, Floral Bits.
Somehow I forgot to use the Enamel Dots which would have been perfect, D’oh!
I punched a hole in the top of each page and put all the
pages onto a yellow book ring to bind it all together. It has turned out pretty
chunky but I absolutely love it.
Thanks so much for joining me today and happy scrapping
