Mini Album with Pocket Pages // Celebrating Everyday Moments // Part One

Mini Album with Pocket Pages // Part One // Cover

This week is definitely all about mini albums. I've already posted Part One and Two of my Valentine Mini Album and today I'll be sharing photos of my Mini Album with Pocket Pages. For an overview of my entire album, you can check out the Glitz Design blog this morning. Below are more photos and details about the supplies I used. In Part Two of this series, I will be outlining directions for the album construction and sharing photos of all the hidden journaling I included in the pockets!

A Valentine Mini Album // Part Two

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 12-13

Today I'll be sharing more of my Valentine Mini Album. Check out Part One here and for an overview of the entire 37 page album, you can visit my post over on the Glitz Design blog. In this three part series, I go into more depth and you'll find additional images and details on my album construction below.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 14-15

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 16-17

I use a lot of white thread and wood veneer throughout my entire album because I love the added texture and their neutral base keep them from becoming a distraction. This cute little typewriter is from the Heyday Collection by Studio Calico.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 18-19

On these pages, I threw in some Arrow and Elongated Hexagon Wood Veneers by Studio Calico into the mix. The hexagons make a great base for work strips or other types of captions.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 20-21

I added another plastic pocket insert in between these two pages and left a blank photo mat in the middle to add a photo.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 20-21 Closeup

On the flip side of the insert, I added some embellishments, including word art using Studio Calico's Darling Dear Alphabet Wood Veneers. These might be the cutest wood veneers I've ever seen and they came with the Copper Mountain Studio Calico Project Life Kit (which was also the cutest ever btw).

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Page 20 Closeup

These are "cotton candy" colored sequins I found at the Studio Calico shop. I love the color and they seem to always pretty selection of hues in stock there.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 22-23

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 24-25

Here, I've added more of my own typography using Photoshop. I also used Tim Holtz Label Letters to spell out "I love you more than all the stars in the sky" and this pretty constellation patterned vellum to layer in between.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 26-27

I love this wood veneer heart by Freckled Fawn and paired it with word strips by Glitz Design.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 28-29

In between these two pages, I've sandwiched a plain velum insert, creating white space in an otherwise crowded spread.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 28-29 Closeup

I also added a plastic insert with lots of options for photos. In the corner, I slipped in "M" and "R" typewriter keys by Tim Holtz and embellished them with a bit of bakers twine.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 30-31

This is the last set of plastic pockets. It's filled with journal cards by Glitz Design still has room for a few photos.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 30-31 Closeup

Again, I've added interest to the flip side of the insert by adding word art and a couple embellishments.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 32-33 Closeup

This is the last set of pages I'll be sharing today. The little star accent is from confetti included in my Studio Calico Valley High Project Life Kit--definitely easy enough to make, but nice to have on hand. I've shared a link below along with all the other supplies from Part One of this series as well. Tune back in for Part Three at the end of the week!

DIY // Snail Mail // Create an Impromptu Craft Kit // No. 2

This is snail mail I created last month for the Sweet Mail Exchange. I got a couple of questions about where to start, so I put together a snail mail tutorial. Today, I want to show you how I adapted the same basic methods to create this package for my pen pal, Mari.

Hybrid Project // Create a Layered Paper Layout Using a Digital Template // Part 2 // Silhouette Tips & Tricks

I hope everyone is having a great week! Today I want to share a paper layout I recently put together . . . the first paper layout I've ever created!

I've always loved paper crafting and I'm a huge fan of Project Life, but traditional scrapbooking has always been more of a challenge for me. When I discovered digital scrapbooking, I fell in love and, had it not been for the amazing Silhouette machine Ray gave me, my paper crafting may have permanently taken a backseat to Photoshop.

Well, I'm happy to say I was finally able to jump over that last scrapbooking hurdle. I've realized an important step in my scrapbooking work flow is creating a mock up before actually touching any paper. Here is the digital layout I made and I included my paper layout right underneath for comparison.

Sweet Mail Exchange // For Mari // Preview

Happy Monday! Remember when I mentioned the Sweet Mail Exchange? This is just a little preview of the parcel I sent to Mari. I'm putting together a detailed post like this one with a comprehensive list of supplies and more photos, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy these little snippets. Also, make sure to check out the images below of the letter I received from Heather ♥

I can't believe it's already June! With half the year already over, you naturally start thinking about how you're stacking up against all the goal setting from the beginning of the year . . .

Project Life // Week 11 // 2 Page View

This is Week 11 of my Project Life Album. I have more pictures than usual because I was home visiting my family. I'm still trying to decide how to handle them . . . I could do another 2 page spread, or make insert pages to go in between these two. I'm leaning toward the inserts though and will share what I come up with next week!

As usual, I've included a more images and a full supply list below ♥

DIY // Snail Mail // Gift Idea // Mini Craft Kit

Last week, I mentioned the Sweet Mail Exchange that's happening over at SSD. Today, I want to offer a couple of suggestions to get your own little parcel started as well as images from some sweet snail mail of my own that I put together over the weekend.

Project Life // 2013 // Week 5 // 2 Page View

Hello! Here with week 5 of my Project Life album. This one's a bit longer than usual because I decided to include a die cut insert.

Full supply list below ♥ ♥

DIY Mini Album Gift Set

There are so many cute mini album designs at the Silhouette shop. This design, by Lori Whitlock, is really creative; inside each mini book, are 5 little boxes and the entire set is housed in a box with room for 3 mini books. I plan to include accordion albums in some boxes and little notecard sets in others.

Below are more detailed images and a full supply list, including a link to the cute album page template I used above (by Danielle Thompson) ♥ ♥ ♥

Project Life // 2013 // Week 4 // 2 Page View

I hope everyone had a nice long weekend!

Here are some images from week 4 of my Project Life album. (full supply list below)

Preview // Boxed Mini Albums // Set of 3

Just a little preview of a project I want to share next week! I'm working on a little boxed set of albums and I'm just about done ♥

p.s. Isn't that the best dotted paper ever?
From the lovely 5th & Frolic Collection by Dear Lizzy . . .

Project Life // Week 3

Project Life // 2013 // Week 3 // 2 Page View

Hello! Popping in to share week 3 of my Project Life album. Below is a full supply list, but I also wanted to mention the font I used on my second page, Roke 1984. It was an easy way to add a little emebellishment and I really like how it paired with the blueprint pattern from Crate Paper ♥

Not All Who Wander Are Lost // DIY Diecut // Silhouette

Because I work in such a small space, I can't always have my Silhouette out. Lately, I've been cutting out a bunch of shapes all at once using white cardstock so I can have embellishments on hand as I'm scrapbooking.

Project Life // 2013 // Week 2 // 2 Page View

Here is week 2 of my Project Life album. As usual, I used a mix of supplies (full supply list below).

I chose "Time" as my One Little World for 2013, so I made a lot of wordart revolving around that theme. Both phrases you see above were doodled on my iPad using one of my favorite apps, Paper by Fifty Three. Then, I just made the images into PS brushes.

Scrapbook Layout // Wordart // Can I Get My Thrills

Can I Get My Thrills // 6x8 // Handbook Album

This is a photo-less scrapbook layout I put together with some hand painted wordart. I sized it 6x8 to fit into my Studio Calico Handbook Album once printed (supply list below)

I've definitely been inspired by the beautiful specimens of hand lettering floating around Pinterest, especially all of the painted signs. Check out my Pinterest board for some amazing examples ♥

Project Life // 2013 // Week 1 // 2 Page View

I'm really excited to share Week 1 of my Project Life album. As I mentioned earlier, I've been printing all my photos at home and I explain my process below.

I really love digital scrapbooking, but I think having a tangible binder of my layouts makes all the difference . . . it's one of the main reasons I'm enjoying Project Life so much.

Project Life // 2013 // Title Page // 12x12

I decided to ring in the new year with Project Life! This is the title page for my album. I'm using an American Crafts 12x12 chipboard binder to house my weekly layouts and I've been printing everything at home with my Canon Selphy and/or Canon Pixma iX6520.
