Basic paperbag mini album

Hi everyone,

Todays post is for my latest mini album tutorial which is a basic paperbag construction using binding rings on the cover.  This makes it quiet an easy album cover to make and it saves time making binding strips!  Anything that saves time in my book is great, there's always a million and one things to do!!

This is the second project for my guest designer time with Ephemera's Vintage Garden.  The collection I am showcasing is the Chic Boudoir.
Here are the links

So here it is...

On the cover I did a lot of cutting and upraising the papers from the collection and on some I have used glossy accents to highlight, that particular page is my favorite so I just had to use it!! The papers I used to cover the boards for the covers are by prima. Flowers and seam binding are from wild orchid crafts and ribbon girl.

Have a great week, enjoy the sunshine!    Hugs Julie

Hi every one,

Firstly I must wish you all a very happy new year.

It's time to take down all those christmas decorations, and oh dosen't it look bare when they are gone.  It just seems like yesterday we were putting them up, where does the time go!!!!

Well we have another year to look forward to.....great new products and new companies to try out and all those things you have meant to try out and  haven't got around to yet....perhaps make this year the time to do them.

There is some sad news, I have finished working with the Visible Image design team after a year and a half of great fun.  The design team are a scream, especially Sue who should be in comedy!!!! I will miss them.  I wish them all good luck for the coming year with whatever they do.  Helen and Mark who own Visible Image are the nicest couple you could meet and they work so very hard.  I'm sure this year will be a very good one for them.

Now to why I have posted today...here are some pictures of the album that I was commisssioned to make.   I have a you tube video on my channel (sadly it is not a tutorial this time).  It will show the album in more detail if you are interested.

And here are the photos......

 

 

 

 

Have a great crafty week......

Prima Romance Novel Mini album...just me me!

Woo Hooo,

Well have finally finished my Mother and daughter album at long last.  I am really pleased with the way it has come out and showcasing the gorgeous Prima romance novel papers has made it very special.  What a brilliant line this is lots to cut out for journalling and pockets, tags and tabs and a wonderful mixture of soft romantic roses and rustic bikes and typewriters, but it works sooo well  together. I bought the case at TK Max as it goes so well with the papers, so the album will be well protected inside.

So here a some photos and a link to the you tube video which shows it fully if you are interested. Link here

 

HAVE A GREAT WEEK
