Mini Album - Maya Road Trees...


Hello,

Todays mini album was created using Maya Road Chipboard Trees and Dusty Attic Chipboards - Memories and a bicycle...






I painted the trees with acrylic paint, glitter and glossy accents.



In the top corner of each page, I have added a strip of washi tape.



I have also added a strip of washi tape to the front and back covers.


Mini albums are a great way to store photos or other memorabilia.

Thanks for visiting

Covered Journals

Hello

Turn those plain covered journals and notebooks into something special. Here are some some I have recently created.

                                



Each of these books started with a plain black card cover. I applied speciality papers to each one using Mod podge then embellished with frames, die cuts papers, ribbons and gems etc.


            

The inside front covers have been lined with card which has a pocket folded to the bottom and a coordinating coloured vellum envelope has been tucked in. The inside back cover is also lined and a small vellum envelope and note card has been attached.

Many people use journals and these make a great gift. 

Till next time

Kaszazz Ocean/Coastal cards

Hello

As mentioned in my last post, here are another two cards in this ocean series. These cards have been created in the same way as the previous cards.






This card also uses stamps from Seahorse, Seagrass and Autumn Moments sets. The fish all have secondary images mounted above the original stamped images and have been coated in glossy accents.


         


The rocks at the base of the lighthouse have been stamped several times (stamp masking), and the pelican and the seagull are dimensionally mounted. The sun and the light on the lighthouse have been coated in glossy accents.
Enjoy
