Today's blog project is a paper bag mini album that DT member Shelly Maxwell created for her daughter to store her photos of the family pet:
She used the NEW Reminisce dog line Little Buddies...love the added die cut details and the gingham trim...here are some of the inside pages:
She used grommets to hold the binding of the book together and tucked a few tags into the open end of the bags...
Great project Shelly! Thanks for sharing!
Today, I am sharing a custom made mini album and the technique used to create the textured effect on the cover. It features the Western papers and embellishments from the Reminisce Celebration Series...
Some of the inside pages:
To create the textured effect on the cover:
1. Adhere the Wanted paper to the chipboard boot.
2. Take a piece of white tissue paper, crumple and uncrumple, then spray with some brown water based mists. Let dry.
3. Apply adhesive to the entire surface of the Wanted paper on the chipboard boot.
4. Smooth the tissue paper onto the adhesive. Tear off the excess.
5. Sand the edges of the chipboard to remove the rest of the excess tissue paper. Ink the edges and the surface of the cover to add depth and dimension to the texture.
6. Embellish as shown using the Star from the 12x12 Icon Sticker sheet, the ribbon trim from the Western Folded Border Sticker sheet and the WANTED chipboard sign from the Western Chipboard Signs sticker sheet. The alphabet letters are from the Monkey Business Line...they matched perfectly.
I hope you enjoyed today's project!!
ps. Don't forget about our Challenge that ends Monday...the details are posted HERE.
