I
recently took part in a Craft & Vendor Fair here in Uxbridge, and it was a
lot of fun. One of the projects that I really wanted to have for the fair were
completed pages to put inside of my “My Creations™ Kraft 3-Ring Album”. Lucky for
me, Close To My Heart’s “Artbooking” Cricut cartridge has several 8” x 8” mini
albums on it, which fit perfectly inside the Kraft Album.
I
had a lot of pictures from our trip to England, back in 2000, that I never did
an album for. So I knew I’d need a lot of pages. Because of this, I did not
stick to just one album on the “Artbooking” cartridge – I used pages, overlays,
icons, and titles from the “Travel Mini Album”, the “Snapshot Mini Album”, and
the “Inspiration Mini Album” – all 8” x 8”.
Being
that most of my photos had an overall grey look to them, I decided to stay very
simple and neutral with my paper choices for the album pages. I used Whisper
and Slate as my base colors, and Ruby for a pop of color. That’s it – all
cardstock – no patterned paper. I did use CTMH’s new “Embossing Folder –
Quatrefoil” on some of the pieces, though, to add subtle texture and pattern.
What I love is the variety of pages throughout
the album. Some of the pages are only half-pages, some have fun borders and die-cuts,
some folded up to be pocket pages – it’s so fun & interactive! So without
further ado, here is the final product:
Let's start with the cover - I used the
“Embossing Folder –
Quatrefoil” on the Ruby strip to the left. Cool how you can do a long strip like that, right? The embossing folders have a slit in the top of them so you can move your paper through and continue to emboss longer strips of paper. A very unique feature!
First page - a cool "travel" overlay in Slate (and I saved all of the cute shapes that came out of that for future use!).
There is another Slate overlay used later on in the album - the chevron. I saved all of the strips that were cut out of that overlay and used them as accents throughout the book. Don't you just love that "speech-bubble" page?!
I just love all of the fun icons and titles there are to use...
Another half-page on the right...
Ah - there's the chevron overlay! Whew - Hugh Grant is so handsome!
The word "pocket" and the arrow are not actually part of the album - I put them in the photo so you would know that that page is a pocket page! The border I made from a strip of our chevron Washi Tape and a strip from the chevron overlay.
The reverse side of the pocket page has another pocket attached (again with the Quatrefoil embossing). Love the "Today" border!
Pages of all shapes and sizes....
Almost done...
Complete! Fun, right?! I am so glad that I was finally able to get these pictures into an album - in hardly any time at all!
