Mini May-nia with Quick Quotes

Happy Friday to you!

It's my day over at Quick Quotes to share a project with you. During the month of May we have been featuring the all new Wire Bound Mini Albums. I am very excited to show you this cute album that I've been working on!

For my project I selected the "Be Bold" album and used the coordinating elements.  To embellish the cover, I added a coordinating Chipboard Sentiment inked with a bit of Blue Hawaiian PowderPuff Chalk Ink and some flourish bling that I customized by coloring and cutting apart to work into the album design.

I altered the bling using my Copic marker so it would match.

I used the 6x6 Paper Pad Sentiments and my corner rounder to create the tabs.

I folded the page on the right in half to create a pocket.

This album is so versatile:

Learning to ride our bike without training wheels!

A few scattered stars help balance the florals on the page.

For this pocket, I folded my page into a pocket, then trimmed a triangle to my fold point. When I was trimming it, my book slipped and this is what happened:

To disguise my trimming error I used a tab punch that I have and it worked perfectly!

I loved the colors with these photos.

Some fun die cuts mimic the action in the photo.

These wire bound mini albums are so much fun to work with!  The pages are so vibrant and well planned out, it takes all of the stress out of making a fantastic project.  With a stack of photos and your collection, you could easily complete one of these at your next crop.

Add your own special touches and you will have an amazing book of memories to share with your loved ones.

Being Bold on a Smaller Scale

Wednesday greetings crafty peeps!  I'm up over at Quick Quotes to host the blog today.

During the month of April we are featuring our all new 6x6 Paper Pads. We wanted to share with you how very versatile they are! Check out what I created here with the bright and cheerful "Be Bold" collection.  Each of the pads comes with pages of quotes, and journaling spots as well as coordinating solid cardstock. What a fabulous concept!

I started with a sheet of the Be Bold 700. This is a beautifully color coordinated paper from the 12x12 line. All of the other pieces here are from the 6x6 Paper Pad, and I added one of the coordinating Chipboard Stickers as well.

To start, I took the sentiment pages and cut them apart. I selected my favorites and started layering them under my matted photo. I used my Kiwi Lane Sunnybrook Lane 3B template to layer a bit and allow a pocket to tuck my floral tag into.

I had a few colorful coordinating items sitting near my desk, so I tossed those into the mix as well. (The little green polka dot bag, sequin arrow, flair, enamel dots and 2013 sticker).

These positive themed sentiments were perfect for my page. We've recently had a bit of a speed bump with our son's health and I wanted to document his hospital stay in a positive light. The featured photo is of him waving goodbye to the hospital. I loved the "Live one fabulous day at a time" quote for this page.

Sometimes we need a reminder that life is good and that we need to be grateful for things like a sweet sunny smile or our health. The everyday is definitely worth celebration!

Ingredients List:

Be Bold - 700

PowderPuff Chalk Inks in Lemonade and Blue Hawaiian

Kiwi Lane - Sunnybrook Lane 3B

Other Ingredients:  Green Polka Dot Bag - Paper Issues, Sequin Arrow - Heidi Swapp, Enamel Dots - MME, 2013 Tab Sticker - SRM Stickers, Flair - AC.

 

Thanks so much for stopping on over today.  We hope you get inspired to pick up a 6x6 Paper Pad or two!  You can find them over at the Quick Quotes Store or at Scrapbook.com.

 

Have a super scrappity day!
