Mini Album

Hello everyone

Can you believe it is February already? I can't but then again, things are busier in my household these days.

Today I just wanted to share a mini album I did with the arrival of my daughter in December. I had prepared most of it before she arrived so it was just a matter of adding photos and a bit of journalling. The mini album has been shared on the A2Z Scraplets FB page so you may have seen the front cover already, however below are the rest of the pages:

 

 

 
 
 
 
The album is a Kaisercraft wooden butterfly album I had in my stash and it was embellished using the Kaiser TigerLily collection... which is fitting since my daughters name is Lily. There are 3 A2Z Scraplets new releases featured in the album. Chipboard is perfect for embellishing mini albums as it is flat and doesn't add too much bulk to your pages. I especially love the Welcome to the World scraplet on the front cover.
 
Wishing you a great week ahead.
 
Holly :)

Sketch Challenge LAYOUT

 
Good morning! After viewing the lovely layouts from Tracey, Belinda and Caz for this month's challenge, I was motivated and inspired ( hope you were too!!!) to make time over the weekend to do a layout so here is mine to share.

                                             
I decided to scrapbook this lovely photo of my sons taken in 1998 - I had the perfect title from a2z: ' BROTHERS IN ARMS' with CRICKET BAT AND BALL  for my 3 sporty cricketers and was very keen to use it! Because my photo was landscape, I turned the sketch to suit it.
Looking forward to seeing your entry!
Thanks for viewing and hope you have a great day! Monica:)

He is cute and he is our!


Hello, my dear crafty friends! Irit is here and this time for some cute , not so much my style, inspiration.
I know that  I am mostly Mixed Media stamping artist, but sometimes, when I have those perfect A2Z chipboards, I move from my comfort  zone to another planet, and those projects are " out of space" ones. Those bright colors, cute photo and almost clean and simple  page still are me. Believe it or not. So how about to make a try and to move  out of your own comfort zone  some time? Try it! And don't forget to use our delicious A2Z titles over your clean and simple projects, as I did on my dear grandson page here.




So see you next time with more A2Z inspiration!
