Mixed Media Mini Scrapbook Album – Just Us

This 11 page album has chipboard circle pages, a plastic scalloped circle page, a chipboard heart page, an oversized tag page and a chipboard flower page.  It has a ton of glitz and glitter.  It was fun to make and we think it turned out pretty cute! 























Beach Boys

We had a great day at the beach Friday.  The older boys only got 3 lifeguard warnings and my little guy had a grand time building his sand castle.  We wrapped it up by ordering a BJs pizza to take home and spend the day goofing off and scrapbooking . . . okay, the boys goofed off and we scrap booked!  Does life get much better?


6 x 6 Sweet Memories Mixed Media Bracket Mini Album

This album, created for our Etsy store, has 10 pages including front and back covers.  The pages are acrylic, chipboard, and canvas and include glitter, rhinestones, paper flowers, ribbons, felt, 2-sided tags and die cuts.  This album is fairly generic but does have a 3D chipboard embellishment that reads "friendship."

My Summer Scrapbook

I recently took a Suzy Platnamara class and while I have not been drawn to these bright colors in the past, her class took me out of my comfort zone and forced me to try something new. . . Loved it!  Thank you Suzy! 
 This is a smaller sized mini album than the one we did in class and the colors are a bit different (I try to downplay the yellows and reds as they are not favorites) but I did copy some of her layout ideas and I really liked the result.  This one was given as a birthday gift to one of my son's friends on her 5th birthday.  It was really easy to create.  Using a Basic Grey mini bracket album (6x6) as a template, I cut the plastic pages from square sheets and  and covered one of the chipboard pages in canvas.  The Fancy Pants kit we used for Suzy's class had felt pages, but I like the canvas even better now that I've tried it this way.  
Dawn and I are in the process of creating several different mini albums in the bright colors with different mediums.  Please check back and chek our etsy store often if you like this album.
Here is a look at some pages from the album:
