Caturday ATC Mini Album

9/20/23 Honorable Mention at The Outlawz No Stamp Challenge!

Hey everybody, Happy Thursday! I’ve popped in this morning to share a Syncopation Design DT inspiration project! I created a fun ATC mini album using pocket cards, papers and elements in the new Caturday digiscrap collection which I absolutely love! You know how I love me some mini albums, and as soon as I saw this collection, I knew I had to create something to document all those fun cat antics! This was definitely a fun project! However, I do need to disclose a profanity alert on two of the album pages just in case any parents might be thinking about sharing this post with youngsters. Typically I keep my posts family-friendly and the profanity is very minor in my opinion, but I still feel the need to disclose.

I cut ten ATC size (2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″) pages for the album from Neenah Classic Crest 165# Solar White cardstock and rounded the corners. I trimmed ten pocket cards and ten digital papers (five patterned and five plain printed on HP 32# copy paper) from the collection to just slightly under ATC size, rounded the corners, and adhered them randomly to both sides of each page.

I added elements from the collection to embellish most of the pages but did use a few items from my stash. I punched a hole in the top left corner of the stack of pages using my Crop-A-Dile Big Bite and bound the album with a ball chain and clasp from my stash. I wrapped an assortment of ribbon pieces around the chain clasp and tied them together with white twine.

Beach Memory Album

10/28/23 September DT Favorite Winner at A Perfect Time To Craft Open Challenge!

Hey everybody! Happy Friday – I hope you have a fun weekend planned! Our very first challenge is live this morning over at Mini Album Mania and I’m super excited to share my debut DT inspiration project for MAM #1 – Any Type of Mini Album Goes! We have room for a few more design team members, so if you’re interested, let me know! I created a purse-shaped Beach Memory Album for our first challenge with lots of room for photos and journaling!

Here’s a quick run-down of how our new challenge works: We host challenges every other (odd) month and each challenge lasts six weeks. We welcome all types of handmade mini albums. The size should be no more than 6″ on any side, the album must have at least three pages, and it must be embellished and decorated. Photos are optional. Mini albums can have any kind of binding such as rings, wire, ribbon, staples, glued tabs, etc. Or they can be an accordion or flap type with no binding. Just remember they must have at least three pages, and we don’t want to see any blank undecorated albums. 

Using the Concord & 9th Everyday Purse Builder dies, I created the album base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. I cut the album pages from 110# Solar White cardstock as well and rounded the two outside corners of each page. I used papers from the Carta Bella Beach Party Collection Kit to cover the base. I used coordinating papers and stickers from the collection kit as well as Eyelet Outlet Sunglasses, Flip Flops, Beach Umbrella, and Sun/Cloud Brads to embellish the pages.

There are several pull-ups and pull-outs, as well as die cut panels made with My Favorite Things Stitched Mini Scallop STAX, Stitched Rectangle STAX and Stitched Square STAX and CottageCutz Double-Stitched Ovals. I used CutCardStock Bright Silver Foil cardstock for the rings on the base of the straps. I used a Velcro fastener on the flap closure and embellished it with a Darice iridescent gemstone. I made a charm and tassel which I attached with a tiny ball chain and clasp from my stash.

Travel Mini Album

Hey everybody, Happy Thursday! Another year term starts this month with ScrapbookingStore design team and I couldn’t be happier! Such an amazing company to design for! The awesome travel-themed August 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades is here and I’ve popped in this morning to share my first project created with it! I’m totally loving everything included in this collection! I created a fun travel mini album from eight journaling cards included in the paper pack and embellished all the pages with coordinating papers, stickers, chipboard accents, adhesive brads and ephemera! So fun!

I trimmed up eight of the 3×4 journaling cards along with eight pieces of patterned paper, rounded the corners, and adhered them to Neenah Classic Crest Double Thick 165# Solar White cardstock pages cut to 3-1/8” x 4-1/8”. I embellished the back side of each page with stickers from the sticker sheet, die cut rectangles created with the Keep It Simple Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies, and ephemera from the upgrades, leaving plenty of room for photos and journaling. I used a chipboard accent and adhesive brad from the upgrades to embellish the front. I punched a hole in the top left corner of all the pages with my WRMK Crop A Dile Big Bite and affixed a ball chain with clasp from my stash. I cut several pieces of pink, teal and yellow ribbon and tied them around the clasp with a white twine bow.

Merry Christmas Shaker Album

Hey everybody! Happy Monday – I hope you had a great weekend! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share for our ‘Christmas in July’ showcase! I hope you had a chance to hop with us this past weekend to get in on the chance to win a $50 gift certificate! Our design team shared some very festive projects to get everybody in the Christmas spirit, and my contribution for the hop was a stationery box you can see HERE! My project today is a super sweet Merry Christmas Shaker Album created in a pink and green color combo! OMGoodness, this was fun!

I created the album and pages from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and all the flip-ups and flip-outs from 80# Solar White cardstock. I used patterned papers from the Rose and Jade 12×12 Collection Packs for the cover, pages, and flips. I embellished the inside pages and flips with elements from the Christmas Bundle SVG Files, Stitched Squares Nested Dies, Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies, Rose Enamel Dots and Jade Enamel Dots. I used papers from the Lemon 12×12 Collection Pack for the Christmas tree stars.

I used the Belle Outline dies and Christmas Bundle SVG Files to embellish the shaker on the front.

Royalty Inchie Album

Hey everybody! Happy Friday! Another week has almost bitten the dust! I have THE coolest Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project to share with you this morning! For many years I’ve been seeing ‘inchies’ and have never made any – an inchie is simply a 1×1 piece of artwork. Pretty tiny. So I combined my love of mini albums and the inchie concept, and made a tiny inchie album! I totally enjoyed making this and I see more in my future, for sure!

I started by creating the tiny book from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and covered the front and back covers with a print from the Craft Consortium Metal Textures 6×6 paper pad. I then printed the Gecko Galz Royal Jewel It 2 digital image sheet on 80# Solar White, cut the eight inchies from it that I wanted to use, and adhered them to the pages.

I typed the book title on a scrap piece of CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock that I had out on my desk from another project. I trimmed it, ran a Memento Rich Cocoa marker around the edges, and adhered it to the front of the album. I took a Marvy Uchida DecoColor Gold Metallic paint marker and ran it around the edge of all the pages, which completed the tiny book. Here are shots of the royal photos! ;)

Accordion Mini Album

8/1/23 Top 3 at Once Upon a Time Challenge Blog!

Happy Friday, everybody! I’m back this morning to share an awesome Keep It Simple DT inspiration project! Today is the official launch of our new Craft Mode Collection! OMGoodness, cutness overload! You haven’t seen FUN until you’ve seen all the papers, stamps, dies, die cut pieces, and enamel dots in this collection! And the COLORS… oh my! I created a super cute accordion mini album with pockets and pull-outs!

I cut a 4″ square accordion mini album from CutCardStock Basis 80# White 12×12 cardstock. Using the fairly new Stitched Squares Nested Dies, I cut five squares from different colors in the Craft Mode 6×9 Cardstock Pack.

I created pockets from three of the four die cut squares by punching half-circle thumb notches at the tops and adhering the squares with thin (1mm thick) foam squares. I created three top-folding pull-ups for the pockets and embellished them with squares die cut from patterns in the Craft Mode 6×9 Collection Pack using the Stitched Squares Nested Dies and the reserved half-circles. I also used Craft Mode Die Cut Pieces, At the Expo Die Cut Pieces and Craft Mode Enamel Dots to embellish the front of the album, the inside pages and the three pull-ups.

Backpack Summer Memories Mini Album

Howdy peeps! I hope your week is winding down nicely and you’re looking forward to a fabulous weekend! I’m absolutely delighted to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share created with the super awesome Lumberjack Collection that was released back in October of last year! This is such a fun collection with loads of gorgeous papers, stamps and die cuts, and I thought a backpack mini album was in order! I’ve made a few of these over the years and they are really quite fun! The original design came from an old Technique Junkies CD that I’ve had in my stash for probably ten years but I ended up reconfiguring the measurements several years ago because my laptop doesn’t have a CD-ROM. It’s a simple design, though, that’s easily replicated.

I cut the base, inside pages and journaling card from CutCardStock Desert Storm cardstock. The front pocket and panels were cut from a variety of patterns in the Lumberjack 6×6 Paper Pack. I embellished the journaling card and every other page in the album with a variety of Die Cut Pieces, Cards & Ephemera and Scene Building die cuts.

I die cut a variety of square, circle, rectangle and oval shapes from the Desert Storm cardstock using CottageCutz Double-Stitched Rectangle dies and Double-Stitched Oval dies along with My Favorite Things Stitched Square STAX, Stitched Rectangle STAX, Double-Stitched Square STAX, Wonky Stitched Circle STAX and Wonky Stitched Square STAX. I used these to embellish the alternating pages, so there is plenty of room throughout the album for photos and journaling.

I used an Eyelet Outlet gold rim yellow jewel brad with a small disc magnet closure on the front flap, a tiny disc magnet closure on the pocket flap, and Really Reasonable Ribbon brown gold-edge ribbon for the straps.

Spring Memory Album

Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a good Wednesday! I’m delighted to be back with another post today to share a ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project which I’ve shared on social media but was unable to blog until our internet was restored. This Spring-themed memory album was created with items in the March 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades, and I had THE best time making it! You know how I love me some mini albums! And yes, spring makes me HAPPY! ;) The coordinating papers and stickers in the March kit are pretty amazing!

I cut the album base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and covered the front and back with a pretty floral paper from the kit. I then cut each page from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished them with coordinating papers. I used stickers from the sticker sheet and die cut ovals (using Cottage Cutz Double-Stitched Oval dies) from CutCardStock Flamingo and Mantis Green cardstock.

I created pull-outs and pull-ups on several of the pages, leaving plenty of room for photos and journaling. I embellished the front with a sentiment from the sticker sheet, added a Velcro circle for the closure and embellished the closure strap with an enamel dot from the upgrades. The final touch was adding a tassel and charm (created with dies from the set) attached with a tiny ball chain and clasp from my stash.

Pizza-Themed Envelope Mini Album

Hey everybody! Well, another Hump Day is upon us and we’re getting more snow here in southwestern Colorado! We’ve had a couple feet of the sparkly stuff on the ground for weeks now and it’s so pretty! We’re hoping all this moisture will keep the fires away this summer. I’ve popped in this morning to share my debut inspiration project for Syncopation Design using the new Pizza Forever Bundle! Pizza is one of my all-time favorite foods (and has been for a lot of years) so this was right up my alley! I created an envelope mini album featuring papers and elements from the collection and love how it turned out!

I created the mini album base from six American Crafts A2 size dark kraft envelopes which I embellished with patterned papers printed on 32# HP copy paper and elements printed on CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock. There is a tri-fold element, a pull-up , a pull-out, and side and top pockets, with lots of room for journaling and photos. I added Eyelet Outlet green and brown pearls along with some Canvas Corp jute rope cord.
