Bathing Beauties Mini Album

Hello friends! This is a Bathing Beauties mini album I created as a sample for the Scrapbook store, The Scrap Nook where I work.

This album was created using Graphic 45's On The Boardwalk collection. I used an entire 8 x8 paper pad to create this book.

I tried Tim Holtz Film Strip ribbon for the first time when I created this album and I love it!!! It's clear film ribbon that you can glue or staple on to paper to create this cool look! After I made this book, our entire stock of film strip ribbon sold out and we still can't keep it in stock!

I also tried this great new product called, Mudd Puddles. It's a sand paste that you spread out across your project and when it dries you have this great look!

This album was so much fun to create! I used images from the paper line along with a few vintage postcard images printed from the web.

I am so addicted to Bo Bunny's dot ribbon! I use it on almost every page! Look for it at your LSS, they have a large variety of colors!

I have never been to the beach or have any beach photos to scrap, so I wasn't sure I could easily create with this line, but I loved it! So many cute patterns and the vintage feel is so fun!

I love these old photographs! The older swimsuits looked so cute!

This album is so chunky! I love these Prima Flowers!

I had fun adding lots of little details to the book!

The film strip ribbon looks so neat that I added it without the paper.

Here's the last page of my mini album but that's not where the book ends...

Every page has a pull out on the side or at the top!

This book by Creative Imaginations came in white and I painted it blue.

Thank you for looking at this album!

Have a crafty day, Lindsey

CPS Sketch Challenge #150

I participated in CPS Sketch Challenge blog this week in hopes of winning paper from one of my favorite companies, October Afternoon!

Here is this weeks sketch #150:

Here is my interpretation of it. I turned the sketch sideways and changed the size of the center image.

The paper used on this card is by October Afternoon. The vintage image is from my own personal collection. The title comes from a beautiful Acrylic stamp set by Crafty Secrets.

I am sorry for my lack of posts on this blog but there is lots of partying going on at my other blog Two Crazy Crafters!

Products used: Cardstock: Bazzill
Patterned paper by October Afternoon
Ribbon by Bo Bunny

Have a great day, Lindsey

Denim and Daisies Scraplift Challenge

Hello, Here is the Traditional Scraplift layout challenge for Denim and Daisies!
Here is the layout that I scraplifted from!



This layout is by Katrina (cardipaws), another talented Wildflower at Denim and Daisies!
I loved how she has ripped and torn her paper around her pictures! I also loved the punched strips of patterns mixed together.

Now here is my take






I ripped out the paper to be my photo mat and added strips of punched patterned paper to look like what Katrina used.
Please go visit Cardipaws member gallery to see the rest of her beautiful layouts! Or visit her blog, Paper, Scissors and Glue.
Thanks Katrina!!
So I challenge you to try this cool torn technique! Please leave a comment with a link to your layout and you will be entered to win a sweet little giveaway!!!!!!
