Emma - 8x8 Mini Album

Hello my friends, today I am back to share a mini album I created for some friends that just had a baby girl, whom they named Emma.

Because my friends are not crafty people, I wanted to create an album that they could just add some 4x6 photos to complete it.  When I saw this YouTube video for a basic 8x8 mini album tutorial from Paul Ford, I thought I would follow along.

The main thing I did differently is I covered the chipboard album cover with some card stock and some Tyvek at the spine to strengthen the seams. Since I used white card stock to create the page bases, I used some pink card stock as my photo mats.

The design paper kit I used  is an older one from Echo Park called Sweet Girl by Lori Whitlock. I think this is the first time I didn't decorate the pages but just left the design paper do the work.

I hope you like it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to drop by.  I hope you check out Paul's tutorial and give it a try.

Such A Joy

Hello my friends, what a crazy world we are living in right now.

As a total distraction, after work, I have been trying to keep myself busy with some crafts.

Today I am back to share a card I created using a digital stamp from LotvDigiShop.

I printed the stamp on some Neenah solar white card stock and cut it out using a circle she from Spellbinders. I coloured the image with my Copic markers and combined it with some older design paper from My Mind's Eye and flowers from I Am Roses and Recollections.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Kathy
