Paper Bag Mini Album

Well This little Paper bag Album has been on the go for almost a year.

I finished the Album then took awhile to find the right photos to go into it and make the mats for them all.

Its been sitting finished on my craft table for the last 3 months waiting for me to take all the photos and blog about it.

Well I had to move my craft room yesterday and bring everything from our spare bedroom down to the front room ( I will blog about the move tomorrow, with photos)

So I had the Album in my hand and thought Wendy Do it now before I forget again

So here it is

Front cover Handsome guy with the hat is our grandson Keaton.

Flower I made by cutting the petal shapes onto Brown card joining 4 layers together with a gold brad

Then spraying with gold shimmer spray and sprinkling with glamour dust.

The frame was cut on the cricut using a Penny Duncan file

 The paper I used for the Album came from DCWV Blossoms & butterflies stack.

I have made two pockets on each side to pop some mats with photos of Keaton on both sides

 Again I have made some more pockets to slip in photo mats staring Keaton trying to stand on his head and helping Bampy sweep in the garden 

 Another pocket added to the page with slip in photos and tags, the other page has another if Penny`s frames with my two sleeping beauties , Keaton and his daddy worn out after playing on the skate board that you can just see in the first photo

 More tags for Journalling and a little fold out button envelope

 More photos Keats with his lion puppet frighting  someone with a loud roar, the other after his bath

 Keats in the bath with bubbles on his hair and riding his train out the back last summer, since then he has moved up onto a bigger balance bike

 Mor pockets with him sleeping again, and him in his first summer cap like his daddy, he did not take it off all day

( very like his daddy whose hat is permanently stuck on his head  even in the house)

 Back view and the bottom photo shows the double sided mats that slip inside each page opening

These have some of my favourite winter photos of Keaton in his first snow just before Christmas.

Two More Altered Frames

 This is the first of two frames I have altered for my Daughter and Niece .

This picture was taken at my sons 21st Birthday party.

Its of my Mother-in-law with my Daughter Aleysha (dark hair) and my niece Emily( longer hair)

The layout was done in Craft Artist from a selection of kits that I am addicted to buying.

I love how the vines look as if they are wrapped around the picture frame.

A closer look at the flowers in these photos.

These are all blues and pinks.

They were made from an  SVG cut file from Penny Duncan (See links in my side bar for Penny`s blog)

The leaves are all punched,.

flowers have been glimmer misted and glittered

This is the second frame. 

Both frames were 10x8 inches in size.

Didn't make one for Mother- in- law as she does not like things on display, and this would be way to fussy for her.

I did print a small 6x4 and popped it into a small silver frame for her.

to nice a photo of her with her granddaughters not to have on display

Just changed the colours of the ribbon and flowers.

These are all purple and cream tones

Some more close ups of flowers.

again made using one of Penny`s cut files

Here is a closer view the layout that I framed.

All done with Serif Craft Artist.

I just love this software and use it daily

Christmas Easel Card

Just Love easel cards such fun and easy to make.

The image on this card is again from Joanna sheens Tomas Kinkade CD.

I added some crystal glitter to the snow and rooftops 

 The flowers are a cutting file from Penny Duncan you can find them on her blog there is a link in my side bar, she has also done a video tutorial on how to make them up.
Thank Penny your a gem

For the bar that the easel rests against I used a Martha Stewart punch and added the Flowers each layer is raised on little foam squares 

Another Frame

I took a cheap frame from from a bargain shop cost £2

 

Then I added some SU scrapbook paper using Mod podge to stick it onto the frame and I also added a coat over the top.

Then for the large flowers I used an SU scallop punch, I punched out 6 shapes popped a brad in the centre, spray misted each layer until damp and squeezed up tightly into the centre, gave it all a tight squeeze then opened each layers gently to get my flower shapes.

The small roses were cut on a cricut shaped and glued together
