Photo Folio/Mini Album

Hello Everyone, well it is Monday down here in my neck of the woods and it is time for to share my Mad About Scrappin Monday project.  Today I have a little photo folio that I have created using the gorgeous Graphic 45 Time to Celebrate paper pad.

I have been watching a few youtube vids on these of late and decided to give one a try.  I have made mine smaller than most, but it is great for those instagram pics.  I won't go into too much detail on how to construct this as there are soooo many tutorials over on youtube.

I have created the cover from some extra thick poster board that I have covered with some Dark brown Card stock and then matted with the papers.

 I have used a paper punch to create a lacey border with I topped with some vintage cotton lace.  I have added some bling and flowers from my stash.  I created the closure with some crinkled seam binding that I dyed using Tim Holtz Tattered Rose ink.

 On the inside I have created a pocket which holds three tags for journalling or they could be places to mat some photos. On the right handside I have created a double sided waterfall that will hold up to 8 photos.

Here are some close ups and more glamorous pics for you......

I also have a little pocket with a tag for journalling.....

Just A Few Cards

Good morning everyone, It's Monday down here on my side of the pond and I am back to share my Mad About Scrappin Project Share with you all.  I don't know about you but these Mondays seem to rockin around faster and faster these days.  Today, I just wanted share a few cards with you that I have created using those wonderful Graphic 45 Papers - A Time to Celebrate, and some embellishments from the Mad About Scrappin Store.  

I started with some card bases that I received in this months kit....

together with some paper flowers and fancy cardstock frames from previous kits.

There's not much to really tell about these, so once again I will let the pics do most of the talking for me....

 I loved using the ornate lacey frames.  Here I have cut the frame in half and placed either side of the diecut base.

 To create these flowers I have punched them out of some co-ordinating cardstock from my stash and added some tiny seed beads to the centres using Glossy Accents.

Just love these cute little paper flowers.  To co-ordinate them just a little more with the papers, I dry brushed some Tim Holtz Tattered Rose distress ink to the centres.

As you can see these cards go perfectly with my project from last week.    As always thanks for stopping by, I hope you have enjoyed my mini as much as I did creating it.  Please be sure to check out the links below to see what my other creative team mates have been up to...

A Time to Celebrate Cardholder

Hey all, welcome back.  Well it is Monday down here in my neck of the woods and you know what that means?  It is time to share my Mad About Scrappin project.  Last week I received my design team kit and I couldn't  wait to dive in and get creating.

So I busted open the A Time to Celebrate 8x8 pad from Graphic 45 and two of the off white cardstock.  I wanted to create a storage solution for some of my handmade cards and I thought the theme of these papers was just right for it.

I have used two pieces of off white cardstock to create the "box" shape. I have trimmed to measure 7"x12"  and 7"x 6.5".

 I have scored these at 3"; 4.5" and again at 9.5".  I trimmed off the excess.  With my second sheet of cardstock I scored it an 1.5" 

and then adhered the two pieces together 

Once this was done I began matting both sides.

 Once I had both sides covered, it was time to work on the concertina-d sides and add the dividers. I trimmed the two strips of cardstock I had leftover to 4".

 Which I then scored every at 1 inch intervals.

 adhered double sided tape to alternate sides and attached my dividers.

I then glued this to the "inside".

 Then the fun began with embellishing, fussy cutting and punching flowers.  

I have tucked the top flap in behind a button I have created using an old wooden button, some glossy accents and paper punches

 Here is my finished card holder....

Join me next week as I create some co-ordinating cards to go inside.   Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out all the Mad About Scrappin links below.
