49 and Market ARToptions Rouge Ephemera - 8x8 Album Cover

Hello,

I hope you are having a crafty day! Today's post is the cover for the album I have created using the 49 and Market ARToptions Rouge Ephemera Packs. I have continued with using the Fabscraps and Stampin' Up papers and washi tapes for my layers on the cover. 

The album base is actually from the 49 and Market Moonlit Garden 8x8 Kit, which I saved and used for this album instead. Please be sure to check out the Album I created using the goodies from the Moonlit Garden Kit and other packs.

I left the spine and back of the album plain and have used multiple strands of a red and white twine as the closure. As always, rhinestones and stickles for added bling!

Next up, I will have another album which I have created using more goodies from 49 and Market.

See you again soon!

49 and Market Layout - Sweet Heart and Memories

 Hello

This is the last 2 pages in this album. I enjoyed using the 49 and Market ARToptions Rouge Ephemera Bits so much that I also purchased the Cluster Kit, which I have featured on the following 2 pages.

On these 2 pages, you can see the foiled washi tape that I mentioned in my last post.

And as always, I have added a stamped owl image, a stamped heart and my inititals to every layout. Twine, glossy accents, wink of Stella pens and glitter have been used for added sparkle and shine!

All that is left now is the cover of the album, which I will share in my next post!

49 and Market Layout - Don't Let Go and Sweet

Hello

How beautiful are these background papers from Fabscraps and don't they co-ordinate beautifully with the 49 and Market ARToptions Rouge Ephemera Bits?! The arched window is leftover from another 49 and Market Kit which I used in a previous album.

When adding the frames to the layouts, I only adhere 2 or sometimes 3 of the sides down to be able to add photos with ease.

Some of the other embellishments used in this album include: rhinestones, buttons, ribbon and tiny bulldog clips - did you spot the pink one in the top layout of this post?

See you soon!

49 and Market Layout - Forever and Ever & You Have My Heart

Hello

The next 2 pages feature the heart frames from the 49 and Market ARToptions Rouge Ephemera Bits. I have used many layers of tickets and tags sandwiched in between the Fabscraps papers. I loved that there is a co-ordinating circled sentiment for each heart frame!

I have also created a journaling card pocket tucked in behind the paper layers on every page. In each pocket, I have placed 3 journaling cards - see the memories card below...

Other papers I used in this album are Stampin' Up 6x6 DSP packs - the above green layer is Mossy Meadow.

Be sure to pop back in again soon for the next 2 pages, we are halfway there!
