I found a fantastic deal on this Basic Grey Sublime collection mini gate fold album. This project came together pretty fast and easy. I used paper from the Aged and Confused Sublime collection, another sheet of
BG and some paper that I have no idea where on earth it came from.
A lot of the techniques that I experimented with are from the blog
Scrapperlicious. I used Distress Ink in Vintage Photo and Fired Brick.
A huge challenge for me in making this album was that I couldn't use any
dimensional embellishments. I love
dimension on my pages and but I didn't have a lot of leeway for closing this one, so to give it a feel of depth without the bulk I used a lot of inking and distressing.
I used die cut circles to mask off the paper while I inked around it. I did that with both Vintage Photo and Fired Brick. The flourish stamps I used are from Autumn Leaves. The chipboard clock is Heidi
Swapp.
I did a bunch of doodling on some of the pages. I used a fine tipped pen to do some
faux stitching and to write little messages to my husband.
I used only 4 12x12 papers in this album. I used EVERY last scrap of the Basic Grey. Although this collection is not one of my all time favorites, I just love how the using everything from the same collection makes everything just come together so easily. I made this book in just under 4 hours (that is a record for me, I'm super slow).
I used some rub
ons from
Kaisercraft on these pages.
So, there it is. I'll be sending it out soon. The last mini I made for him never made it, so I hope he gets this one.
Thank you so much for reading.
