8/5/23 Top Pick at Inkspirational Challenges!
Hi friends! I’m back this evening to share a project that’s not for one of my design teams, believe it or not. I know, it’s a rare occurrence, lol. I’m so in love with inchie albums, I’ve started collecting them along with my ATCs! This one features the super awesome beachy 1×1 images from Gecko Galz. I’ve got quite a few different themed ones in my stash so you’ll be seeing more of these in the near future. They are fun, easy to make, and really pack a punch!
Even though the summer heat really gets to me, I’ve always loved the ocean/beach (I grew up on the Gulf coast of Florida) and have always felt that water is good for the soul, so that’s how I came up with my book title. I typed the book title on my laptop, trimmed it and ran a light blue Zig Clean Color Real Brush marker around the edges. I made the book from CutCardStock Basis 80# White 12×12 cardstock and the cover from Craft Consortium Ink Drops – Earth 6×6 paper pad.
I printed the Gecko Galz Beachy 1×1 digital image sheet on CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock and punched the images with my EK Success 1″ square punch. Once I had all the inchie images adhered to the pages, I ran a Marvy Uchida DecoColor Silver paint pen around the edges which completed my little book.
