Grad/Prom mini album on the way

   Started working on my sons graduation/prom album.  Its an 8x8, so the photos were printed as 3 x 5 and some are cropped as well.   These are just the beginning, more to come over the next week or so.  Thanks for looking.

Working with older paper from Tinkering Ink, A to Z papers, Cosmo Cricket, Creative Imaginations.  Then new things like MME Lime Twist, Bo Bunny ad Lib and a variety of fun embellishments from Basic Grey, Cosmo Cricket, Maya Road....

New layouts: K & Company Boy scout paper & American Crafts...

Got a few more done this month. I really like the K & Company Specialty paper pad that is Boy scouting paper. So I did another layout very simple though, but I like it.

I used 1 paper for the background and two others and punched 1" circles and mimicked the design element on the paper. I also used the following:

Cosmo Cricket Mr. Campy Rub ons and the Ready set chip set- tent, hikers and alphas
Pink Paislee leaf from any of the chipboard sets: Fetching, Captivating, Fascinating etc. I peeled off the printed paper and did the following on it and the other items.
Tech: I painted it with cream craft paint, used the copper dabber then used the versamark pad with woodgrain Hero arts stamp and stamped over the letters, and images. Then I sprinkled Brown embossing powder on- heated. Love the effect.

I loved this al a mode paper set from American Crafts and wanted to use it. Three papers were used from the set. I also used White glitter, Amercian Crafts thickers and the heart is a Doodlebug heart from their Hopscotch alphas. The swirls are Prima say it with Crystals. I just cut alot of things out and used pop up adhesive. The journaling spot is Maya Road.


This last layout I finally completed yesterday. I have to say rolling those paper scrolls are NOT easy. Maybe because it was a varnish/glitter paper and thicker, but even the non glitter paper was challenging. I still like the effect.






Supplies used: Core'dinations NEW Gemstones shimmer paper Garnet
SEI Mimosa paper and Kaisercraft Flutterby collection paper -Long wing
SEI Mimosa Chiplets (Flowers), SEI Mimosa Brads
American Crafts pink felt alpha- then painted with Spiced Cider shimmerz paint, then added Art glitter gold over the top.

Cosmo Cricket Early bird cards

Well, as mentioned I haven't had much energy since my surgery, so not much has been done creatively. I just started getting spurts in the last week or so. I need to do cards for people that are general thank you and thanks about preparing dinners.

So, I thought I would start with stamping- not my forte, but I tried. I will post the one that survived my expectations. I really need to invest in special stamping tools, so I decided to move on to paper crafted cards.

Sad, but nice little stamped card- made with a sizzix die cut, and stampendous stamp set with cherries:

I really must say I thought the Cosmo Cricket Early Bird papers were nice, but didn't realize how addicting and how versatile they could be. I used items from the crafting kit and the ready, set, chip set. LOVE these products! I also used some cluny lace and some cats eye fluid chalk ochre and the stamp set was cutie cherries by Stampendous.

Thanks for looking and have a great day. Another day I will post my Basic Grey Wisteria cards.
