Summer Memories

Mini albums are such a great way of capturing a memorable summer vacation. Maya Road have such wonderful chipboard albums that are such great value for money.


I chose the tree album as my base. The pages are big enough to hold a 4" photograph. I love the way there is a separate 'trunk' for the front page.



I covered the whole album in gorgeous Garden Party Lush Blooms from My Mind's Eye. The prints are just the right size for a mini-album.



By keeping the embellishments simple, I was able to complete the album really quickly. I used the beautiful K & Co Mira stickers which are 3 dimensional and shiny and stamps from October Afternoon.



So why not print off your photos and spend an evening creating the perfect mini-album to bring back all those memories from your Summer?

Scraplift Chain and a new sketch challenge!

We've been having a blast on the forum with a new game: a scraplift chain! This round is just wrapping up, but I'm sure we'll do this again in the future. You can check out this thread to see the great completed lifts!

For my page, I lifted Trish's we're tongue rolling. My page, those magical eyes features the fun new Dream Street Fun & Games collection, definitely one of my faves from them! Also the new glitter chipboard Thickers by American Crafts.

Here's my page:

I used a piece of Kelly Panacci chipboard from the 360 collection also, stamped on it, and then added some diamond glaze on top. I love the effect!

See how pretty those glittery Thickers are?

And, coincidentally enough, since it's time for a new sketch challenge, today's sketch is based on this page! Here it is:

I would love to see what you do with the sketch, and don't forget to post your page in the Sketch Challenge thread for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the store!

Make Your Own ButtonBrads!

Hi Everyone!
I have been at it again! Searching the web for more "make your own embellishment" ideas; and I keep finding more!

Today I am going to share with you a link featuring making your own buttons and/or brads! (I say and/or because you can simply make them buttons or you can go a step further like on the directions and make it into a brad for easy attachment!)

Here is the card I made (the black/white polka dot flower center is the brad that I made following these directions):

This is a great way to get a customized look for your pages or cards because you could buy ANY fabric! I also think you could try pattern paper with the button kit as well!

Here is the link (from a friend of mine's blog)

Enjoy!
