SEI Amazing 6x6 Expandable Album

Hello and happy Thursday to you! Today I have an album project to share with you. I used the 6x6 Expandable Album for ay along with the "Always Yours" Assortment Pack, Borders and Titles by SEI.

I started by tracing the front cover onto the pattered paper, then trimmed to fit and used my 1/4 inch corner rounder on the corners and inked the edges lightly. Adhered with my favorite dry adhesive to match my rounded corners.

If you didn't measure just right, that's ok, just use the pretty Borders as a transition strip and you can beautifully disguise any gaps.

I collaged a few of my favorite pretty elements from the Assortment Pack along with a few stickers from the Titles. The pink layered heart I added a bit of Glossy Accents to for texture. I also added a pretty bird which I inked with a bit of Chalk Ink to coordinate with the stickers.

Tip: I wanted a pretty storage solution for some of my 6x6 craft stencils and this album fits them perfectly! I love that there are refills and you can add to it very easily.

Follow Your Heart with SEI

Friday greetings to you! I have a pretty SEI project to share with you today.

 

My project today features the Spiral Bound Journal and the Always Yours collection. I wanted a pretty journal that I can use as a mash up for inspirational thoughts and quotes as well as to document some fun mom memories and moments for reflection.
 

 

I began by choosing my focal point papers, then trimming them to size. I adjusted the left border by adding another layer just to the left, then embellishing the transition space with a touch of eyelet lace that I had on my desk. I stitched around all of those layers, then adhered.

 

The sentiment chipboard was inked with a soft green chalk ink and layered with a coordinating sticker from the collection and a flourish that I cut using a die and my die cut machine. I added the tiny grey chipboard heart in the bottom right corner.

 

 

Here you will see my first two interior pages. I kept it fairly simple but thought that the quote was perfect to grace the intro page vellum pocket. This collection is so lovely, the finish of the papers and the foil and pearl accents are amazing.

Happy Heart featuring SEI's Always Yours

Saturday greetings to you! I hope you are having a nice weekend so far. I have a project to share with you today featuring some SEI products.

My project today is a scrapbook page featuring the Always Yours Assortment Pack. By nature, this is a very romantic and pretty line. I decided to use it with some very non romantic type of photos.

I recently took my boys to the circus and they were so excited they could not behave to take a photo before it started. Since I believe that life is not all "Pinterest Perfect", I always scrap the funny and not so perfect photos too.  One of my favorite ways to show them is in a collage.

The sentiment in the heart, "You make my heart happy" was just perfect for the page. I simply trimmed it out a bit from the doily border and it took on a new crisp look. I've used a mixture of grey, cream and pink for the page.

I really like the swirl cream background paper, it is silly and fun. To soften the borders on that layer, I used a border punch only on the right and left sides.

A few pieces of Kraft Chips and Silver Glitter Dots completed the page.

Winter in MN featuring SEI's Always Yours

Hi there and happy Thursday to you!  I was recently up over on the SEI blog with a project featuring the newer "Always Yours" collection and showing a bit of its versatility.

We live in Minnesota where the winter mornings are brisk and sometimes when the weather is just right you can catch some spectacular sunrises. I quickly snapped this photo with my phone the other morning because there was something so pretty about the way the light filtered though the haze. I knew I wanted to scrap it.

I printed the photo in a 2.5x3.5 size, then again in a full 4x6 and cropped both photos to remove the borders, then placed the smaller photo on top with some dimensional adhesive.

After finding the beautiful cream and grey colors in this collection, I searched for a nice variety to create a monochromatic design. You will see that I used the additional kit items here such as the ribbon, glitter chipboard die cuts and stickers along with the pearls.

The "Winter" sentiment was cut using my Silhouette Cameo from the beautiful silver foil paper in the collection to coordinate to my photo mat. All of the papers in this collection have such a beautiful finish to them, it is a wonderfully elegant line!
