My first album
A last minute idea.. with 4 hours only to figure it out. I thought I would make a little photo album for my friend. He and his roommate came for a visit last Christmas. I thought I would try out my Cinch that I had never used. I didn't know what I was doing. I have learned now to strategize better. I was glad I had whittled down the photos. Ya know sometimes less is more! ahahha I really was stressed trying to get this done. Now I know I want more time to really play with techniques and enjoy the whole process. This is just to show my 4 hour mass heart attack attempt at a journal. My fingers are still sore... seems I covered up the holes ... with paper and thought the little paper piercer would do the trick.. uh NO!
On the cover I used a new white washing technique that I learned from a class that I took from Drycha.
Class can be found here.
I used papers from my DECEMBER SCRAPS OF DARKNESS KIT.
Page 2 as seen below I used the arrows from 3rd Eye : TES-015. I used some Prima flowers and brown lace.
On this page I used DA #7 Ornate Corner and TES-006, TES-018. The Kardiogram and the See With The Heart stamp.
On this page I used the 2 hearts from 3rd Eye along with a Melissa Frances RubOn; TES-002, TES-003
Page 6 here I used 3rd Eye Wind Corners : TES-013. I used a MS punch.
Page 7 here : I decided to add some nice Trim that Ms. Elena sent me.. and the butterfly from Jrabs. How cool was that! More Wind Corners from 3rd Eye : TES-013
Page 8 here... lots more Prima flowers and Prima trinkets.
Page 9: I used lights from 3rd Eye : TES-041. I used Walgreens for the first time directly and I loved playing with their borders option. I tried a different border on every pic. I loved it. In this I also used a DA0393-Pocket Watch.
Page 10: I used the flowers from 3rd Eye : TES-023. I love how they went along the edge. I also used a GORGEOUS BUTTERFLY.. from Renea's Etsy .. HER SHOP CAN BE LOCATED HERE.
Page 11: I used the Santa from 3rd Eye : TES-044. More Prima flowers and their lightbulb. Love using my Washi Tape.
Page 16 last page.. whew....I used my favorite rose stamp from 3rd Eye TES-020 and Olivia TES-037. I used some washi tape on here as well.
I learned a lot making this journal. I used pizza boxes for every page and then covered. I should NOT cover up the holes and I think next time I will go ahead and thread the book and work from that angle. It was a last minute gift thought request. I've already started saving my pizza boxes because I plan to do more.
