Hi everyone,

I haven't done a blog post for a while so thought a tutorial might be a good idea.  Let's hope it gets your creative juices flowing!!!!

My tutorial is for an insert for a mini album which can be added toan  internal pocket or stuck to an album page.  But that's not all it can be used as a card or a brag book too.  You can even use it to send a letter to someone special and add some photos or keepsakes inside.  It should put a big smile on someones face when it drops on the doormat,  we don't seem to send letters these days, I only ever get bills!!!!

The link to my video tutorial which is on my you tube channel is HERE

The beautiful images on the front and back covers are from Janet's shop called by digital paper at Etsy.com and you can link HERE  Janet has some gorgeous vintage images, my favourite and lots of other themes too so pop over and have a look.

 

Have a good day

Hugs Julie

 

Hi,

Here are some photos of the finished and decorated Christmas card/bragbook.
I have used some Visible image stamps,  these are the ones I used, you can click on their title to go to the stamps page, christmas collage, snowy background, snowflake corner, and the vintage christmas trio.  You could of course use any of the Visible Image stamps for your own book. There are six pages where you can add photos and you can  also add two tags if you like.  Plenty of room for that Christmas photo bragging!!!

For the photo corners (which you can slide a photo under) I used the sizzix Tim Holtz Baroque movers and shapers and just cut it into quaters.  I've inked with stampin up inks crumb cake and real red and distress ink pine needles. The die cut leaves are Tim Holtz alterations autumn gatherings.  The little bells add a christmasy tinkle when you move the card.

If you have any questions let me know......you can the finished TUTORIAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS CARD/BRAG BOOK on my you tube channel.

Hi crafty people,

Here is the first project I've made with the crafty indiviuals bits that Jean and Malcom kindly sent me. I though the people and places pad full of images just lent itself to the mini in a box....so here it is.

THE VIDEO

If you want to have a go at one yourself the tuturial is up on my you tube channel  

Today I am adding photos of a little brag book I made. I was pleased with the way it came out as it looked nice and cheery. I got the idea from Lori on her you tube channel klipngirl , she does some amazing inserts for mini albums but you can also use them to make just a single small pocket album as I have.

Have a go you can get quite a lot of photos in here and its handy for your handbag.
