Mixed media album featuring Prima Sweet Peppermint Plus Video

Hello friends!

Something really Christmassy today :) 

I have a mixed media album using the gorgeous Prima Sweet Peppermint Collection by Frank Garcia. 

OMG! This is one of my favorite collections. I have fallen in love with all the cuteness in this in here. There are like tons of imagery, die-cuts and wonderful patterns to play with!. 

I have a Overview video to share with you all. Since it was a mixed media kind of album I just couldn't resist including a layout kind of page in this. I really hope you will like it .

Tons of pictures in this blog post :)

Black and white Mini album

 

Hello!!

I'm winding a lot of projects these days and this is one of them...finally I'm posting it:)

Here I have made a mini album in black and white. The pattern papers are from Papermania.



 

 

Here are the pictures..



the cover page-decorated with handmade fabric flowers


 

The first two pages. Made the journaling cards and a few tags and booklets to hold the photographs. Used rub-ons as well. The stamps are from prima and Tim Holtz visual artistry. There is a side pocket on one page and an envelope shaped pocket on the other

 

this is the envelope page with the photo booklets and journaling tag
 

 

the inserts and the photo mats

 

 

The pages are all envelope pages and I inserted a big photo mat in each. This page has a rectangular envelope on the page with photo mat booklet ,a tag, a journaling frame and a date and year tag as well. The page on the right has a folded envelope to hold 6 photo mats in it. Have a look at the edge of the right page. Here is the large photo mat .Used some black lace to make the edges more sturdy.
 



this is the mini album insert with square tag inside



The pages on the left are more or less the same with little variations in the placement and orientation of the journaling frame and date and year tag. On he right is a photo mat book embellished with kaiserkraft heart rhinestones.


 

the left page has a corner diecut and the right has a mini album insert with few photo mats and journaling tag

 

the left page has the flower rhinestone from kaiserkraft and the right has a few photo mats and journaling spots


 




All the pages with envelope on them have inserts like this. The border punch is Fiskars Sunburst used both on the photo mat in the large envelope page and the small photo booklet.

 

the last page with the photo booklet the photo mat and the journaling...coz I have to write a lot..:P



and finally the back cover! made the pearl flourish myself!:)

My 'cherished' mini album..

Hello..

This my second try on a  mini album...and I just love the way this has turned out. Wanted to incorporate pastel colours...shabby chic look ...pockets ... laces ..pearls ...flowers and so much more!!!

For this mini I made envelopes...open from top and slit sideways to give two  side  pockets on either of the pages..(U can see how they are below)... If anyone wants to know how i made this or any other element in this album ..do lemme know. I'll be happy to help...:)

The mini album has been titled 'cherished'...  I have made a banner out of handmade paper and distressed it with vintage photo and walnut stain distress inks ... and did layering with a distressed doily ..from kukies basket..

 

 The binding.. with beads and organza ribbon which are a local buy

The back cover... hope u can see the layering of the 2 laces ...that's  because I used 2 covers...with laces on the sides...one slightly larger than the other...and layered them

and now the pages..All of 'em on the pages are DCWV fresh floral paper stack from imaginations

There are top loading pockets with photo mats in each envelope pocket page...which I have distressed back and forth using spun sugar distress ink...decorated using die cut flowers and flat back pearls and did layering with peach colored papers which are edge punched with fiskars sunburst punch...  

This is the photo mat on the side pocket..

and I have hand made the small cute journaling tags :)... How do you like 'em??

The page corners I made using real thick parchment papers...

And I just love these lace flowers...they turned out sooo yummy...

A close up of the cute tags..:D

And these fabric flowers with that flower center are sooo shabby chic and beautiful and full !!  ..was so happy when I made 'em..

  couldn't avoid a close up..:P

awww... here is my first try at some quilling..cute flowers..but i love the leaves:)

and now the last page... recently bought the butterfly silhouette punch from A1 craft supply.. dis some layering on thwe butterflies 

this is the pocket tag holder i made and attached it to the last page..the back cover..it can hold 4 tags or photo mats...i have used only 3 of 'em..I have used some marriage invite to make these tags..
