EASTER BASKET BLOG HOP

Happy Spring everyone!  Thanks for stopping by.  If you are here from Erika's then you are on the right track.

The project that I created is a cute little picture/scrapbook album that will fit just right in an Easter basket!  And it's perfect for ANY age.


Now...I had an album all finished and each page was completely decorated and ready for photos to be added...but I cannot find it ANYWHERE and it's really frustrating me. So I quickly whipped up another one to use until I can find my original one.

Supplies used and basic instructions: The album cover and pages are from the original Sizzix. The album cover is from a thick chipboard.  The pages I used regular white cardstock.  I lightly inked the edges. Next I cut out the daisy flowers with my Sizzix Sizzlits. I also used the original Sizzix hinges die cut.  The album cover die places and score line towards the edge of the album, so what I did was cut down the line and then placed the hinges there so that the album can open better and flat (I won't be showing the pages from THIS album...lol...because they are blank, but hopefully I will find my original one). Next I placed a "best friends" sticker on plain cardstock, cut it out, then placed it on a vellum tag with foam tape to raise it up a little. I layered the flowers and I even used the negative of one of the flowers and cut really close. The flowers didn't have anything in the center so I used a couple of rhinestones for the centers. Then I adhered the flowers to the book. You can bind the album with ribbon, binding rings, brads, or even screw posts. The possibilities are endless and left only to the limits of your imagination.  Another great idea is to insert a lot of pages to be used as a sketch album, autograph book, or even recipes.
