Challenge complete. The paper is from Michael's. Super cute paper that I did not photograph well. It has gold foil accents on the paper. It's cool and cloudy and not great for pictures, but I shall not complain about poor lighting as last weeks heat index was 110+.
My camera is stamped in green to add a pop. I chose this camera stamp because it reminds me of my old cannon film camera that I use on nature walks.
I used Stickles on the cover to add dimension to the fire.
✨ Spice Girls Tribute – Window Trifold Folio ✨
For this album, I made a Window Trifold Folio (aka: a scrapbook that opens more times than I’ve replayed “Wannabe”). I used the Echo Park Have a Nice Day Collection Kit, because the vintage florals, checkerboard prints, and smiley faces had the perfect girl power vibe.
To make it extra special, I added custom Spice Girls die cuts from Etsy — because if you’re going to scrapbook a Spice Girls concert, you don’t half-step it. Between the shaker window, pull-out tags, and all the bright patterns, it turned into a fun little time capsule of ‘90s nostalgia with a side of sarcasm.
I’m sorry I have been MIA these past few months. I have been having different surgeries and more surgeries to come. Plus my husband and son both having surgeries also. I am hoping to get back into making albums with this amazing group! I have so much paper that I can use when it comes to making albums again.
August Challenge - The Good ‘Ol Folio. I’ve been hoarding this paper line for years so it was time to create an album for our cottage photos from years back. I will actually be adding photos to this mini album 🤣 so I will insert lots of fun embellishments as I fill the pages.
The August challenge (mostly) completed. I started this theme b/c pretty paper by Graphic 45, of course. I was working on it while staying with a friend post shoulder replacement - nurse Christine. She is going on a Hawaiian cruise this winter, so I'm leaving a lot of the design like the cover and stickers for when she makes this her own. I took a lot of risks using a die for the waterfalls and flaps. Still figuring out which dies will work best with what.
Photos not taken by a pro photographer.
So I had even more fun if thats possible with August challenge. My son's fiancé birthday is this week. She said she had no where to put all their photos. And her fave color is red. I had a bunch of small pieces from 6x6 DSP pads so I did alot of piecing together.
Here's a new kind of challenge for everyone! I started an album before the Aug. challenge began. But I stopped to join the challenge. I only completed the cover and set it aside. Now I don't remember which album I was going to make. 🤭 It measures 10x10 with a 3/4 inch spine.
Finished the Good ‘Ol Folio challenge. And it was challenging for me but worth the effort! I went to Scotland last year so this was the perfect album. I found some fun Scottish Folk Art paper on line and some fun stickers. Can’t wait to fill it full of photos from my trip. I left all the photo mat sizes so I know what to order. 🤪
