Elements For Mini Albums, Junk Journals and Scrapbooks

Hello!

Welcome back to my Blog and I hope you are having a terrific day! Lately I've been thinking on some different ways to put some oomf in our Mini Albums, Scrapbooks and Junk Journals. Creative elements that will surprise and hopefully, a few of these ideas will be new to you. I'm going to be taking a look at stepping up old ideas as well as introducing you to some new ones and I'll be packaging them up in a new YouTube series called Elements.

Today's video comes with a tutorial on how to make some cute tags but we'll step those up so that there is a pop-up surprise inside. As you will hear in the video, I talk about how these pop-up tags can also double as a card on a package or, with Christmas coming, they can be used as gift card holders. Of course you can also place a photo in them or do a little bit of journaling on them too! This is also a great way to your up your scrap card stock and designer paper collections. 


Watch:



Wouldn't a bunch of these be cute if you put small photos in them and then held them together using a single binder ring? You could even put some small bits of other types of ephemera in between to make a Pop-up tag Mini.

Thanks for watching,

Graphic 45 2019 Brand Ambassador Audition

Hello Everyone! Recently Graphic 45 announced their 2019 open auditions for Brand Ambassadors. It's no secret that I'm a huge fan, so I thought I would give it a try. You may have seen how unique and versatile their paper sets and Staples are, and surely, that is one of the reasons they are loved among creators! My audition video features the Olde Curiosity Shoppe Deluxe Collector's Edition Papercrafting Set, by Graphic 45. This set includes a twenty-four page, double sided paper pad as well as chipboard and sticker sheets that match the collection. The page that I got my inspiration from is called Parlor Wall. The idea was to start with a gallery type of theme and maintain that theme throughout this project. As I explain in the video, this is not a typical Mini Album for me, it's a Scrapbook. The video includes a complete flip through of my Scrapbook, followed by a tutorial on how the base/cover was constructed. A great big th

Mini Lighted Shadowbox Vignettes Tutorial

I don't know about you but i like to save the scraps that are left over from my Mini Album projects. After all, we spend a good amount of money on some of these collections so we should find other ways to use them. The most obvious 'go to' for our scrappy bits are greeting cards, but what other uses are there? Did you know that small vignettes have become popular in the last few years?  Mixed Media Artists, like Tim Holtz, get to really show off their talent and imagination by making small display pieces with different themes.  Inspired by this, I thought I could use my saved bits and pieces to make these mini shadowbox type vignettes, which would be a fun little gift idea for an older child or for someone who has a holiday tree they keep up year-round. They could even be used as a tag, of sorts, to accompany a gift. How about personalizing them using a photo of a friend or family member as the star of the show? Go a step further and add some tiny LED
