White card from the packaging of a new pair of shoes, cut into leaves with my BigShot and dies. I made a shaker out of a tag, some clear packaging from a packet of enamal stars. I filled my shaker with the 'circle waste' from a hole punch and some beads and finally my journaling card is the packaging from some flair.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ALIv_zlnKrQ/YAKp_0phroI/AAAAAAAAUos/UZ1W-46uBXouGLtLrjV_EiwKTHvkRofZACLcBGAsYHQ/s900/Everyday%2BLife%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

There are no rules so please feel free to get as inventive as you like if you fancy joining in with this months theme. </div><div><br /></div><div>I decided to make a mini album. Mini albums can be very time consuming but not when you use envelopes as the basis of your pages!! I have a tonne of envelopes hanging around and thought it would be great to repurpose these into something I could use to memory keep. These are also great to make as gifts for friends and family and come together in no time at all. </div><div><br /></div><div>So let's take a look at how these are made......</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9I9dsG-4bmjDuFhStZFes73kkjWjneR84SpOvtaRWcqd1fo62RUObuq5bDjelNNsSNLLB0imWkNvYC40EP8720p-7F3olazq4wJ0MoaQeLNY1wrPWw6cYa4SMZ_8cFSR1ttH3Z93Wnptm/s1600/Layout+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9I9dsG-4bmjDuFhStZFes73kkjWjneR84SpOvtaRWcqd1fo62RUObuq5bDjelNNsSNLLB0imWkNvYC40EP8720p-7F3olazq4wJ0MoaQeLNY1wrPWw6cYa4SMZ_8cFSR1ttH3Z93Wnptm/w200-h200/Layout+4.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div>You need to first start with 2 envelopes.

Here I made a little tag pocket by adhering 3 sides of the paper to the envelope to create the pocket and then added a couple of tags with a little bit of tulle added in at the top. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now, I love cut apart sheets and they are the best for mini albums too! Here I have fussy cut around the little wreath card and added it to the front of the pocket with some foam adhesive and this has given me a great little journaling spot. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy2lK6WITblP2Xc16Ae-lEGhBhBGTe4hHByO6PxEm3P3CI26blcF28kItJ7H31BbeL5KnUinIOfcEQnX75MDfqWALfYRJi_1HbQjKCu8SprokQwNA2eH2b0655A_hFJZ2hwfEB6uW-au9O/s1600/Layout+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy2lK6WITblP2Xc16Ae-lEGhBhBGTe4hHByO6PxEm3P3CI26blcF28kItJ7H31BbeL5KnUinIOfcEQnX75MDfqWALfYRJi_1HbQjKCu8SprokQwNA2eH2b0655A_hFJZ2hwfEB6uW-au9O/w200-h200/Layout+2.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div>I love to make little interactive elements for my mini albums so here I have made a band that goes across the page. I have stitched this in place using my sewing machine but you could always just use some adhesive to stick the edges down. </div><div><br /></div><div>Then I have tucked a couple of the journaling cards from the cut apart sheet and added a fussy cut butterfly and a sticker for embellishment.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>And here is my album in full. I wrapped a piece of patterned paper around the front and back (as one piece) to help strengthen it all and used some foam stickers for my title! <br /><br />One thing I should mention, if you ar3e going to add a ribbon tie then be sure to add this underneath the covers before you stick it all down and then that way it'll be hidden underneath the paper. </div><div><br /></div><div>I hope you've enjoyed taking a look at this super quick and easy mini album idea. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCMILGToKeIWVfITXZcN2eVbk-BA_SbzTKO9qEK3Vl1finKcqN2Wb-13uFsynvmTMP1iSPSTsHB95R7gkKsvInTDqkYEBN5mkNjHZbjcnz4EtijUnB4GfIccjFkspT3nlaiHvkcawGhg35/s1600/Layout+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCMILGToKeIWVfITXZcN2eVbk-BA_SbzTKO9qEK3Vl1finKcqN2Wb-13uFsynvmTMP1iSPSTsHB95R7gkKsvInTDqkYEBN5mkNjHZbjcnz4EtijUnB4GfIccjFkspT3nlaiHvkcawGhg35/s320/Layout+1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">See you next time!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Claire xx</div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Claire Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13006200981651486490noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791007677936096211.post-42066634416659975742020-12-25T07:00:00.017+00:002020-12-25T07:00:00.267+00:00Naughty or Nice | Kirei Baldwin | Embossing Folders<p> Hi UK Scrap Addicts!</p><p>It's Kirei here wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, I hope Santa has been good to you this year!</p><p>I am sharing a layout for this month's fun challenge which was to use embossing folders on your layout, now I definitely hadn't used them for quite some time so was good to pull them out and have a play.

I used to love using them, but as trends come and go, this is one that as been put on the back burner, which is such a pity as I love the effect they give to patterned paper.

We're not talking just a little bigger than normal - we are going really big!! A4 in fact!!</div><div><br /></div><div>I decided to scrap a photo that had lots of "white space" in order for me to be able to use this space to add my embellishments to. This is important when working with larger photos so you are not limited by the small amount of space you will have left once you have added your photo to your background paper or cardstock.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwz4yu1C-iRZVYqjeEUz_X6SDCgIdJ-B2Lv6vVizo-wE2skFbSCZsO5ENCTU1a_clQ0WVH4JBiYx85c3lkCSvYPip5N5rJVZJwjaUd-Jd-0X2QLrSylON58IX-n7EqVs9n-x1ktqsbMw6T/s1600/Layout+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwz4yu1C-iRZVYqjeEUz_X6SDCgIdJ-B2Lv6vVizo-wE2skFbSCZsO5ENCTU1a_clQ0WVH4JBiYx85c3lkCSvYPip5N5rJVZJwjaUd-Jd-0X2QLrSylON58IX-n7EqVs9n-x1ktqsbMw6T/w200-h200/Layout+2.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div>I used some Thickers from Vicki Boutin that had a black outline to help make the title stand out on the busy wordy background paper and lined them up vertically along the side of my photo. </div><div><br /></div><div>This works really well as the words on the background paper were a mixture of horizontal and vertical orientation already so this really fit well with the style of the patterned paper.

I used the "white space" within the photo to be able to embellish.

I used the noteworthy collection from PinkFresh Studio to make this simple layout. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0ucwMMKFLxl2fN6UvLCyk-U2OAE5UQ4I5jTpLt-vZjTEoxR_Uzy8B9qa5OfmgtW9MG7WaR076o3djQTtvJBJlF0Mo5zr85UJ0Xg2XLyu4NxXYTxI4SWkO8PIEIAMcx_vDnxZwjohlmFA/s1600/55A25449-B806-468D-A5A8-3FD80D322174.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0ucwMMKFLxl2fN6UvLCyk-U2OAE5UQ4I5jTpLt-vZjTEoxR_Uzy8B9qa5OfmgtW9MG7WaR076o3djQTtvJBJlF0Mo5zr85UJ0Xg2XLyu4NxXYTxI4SWkO8PIEIAMcx_vDnxZwjohlmFA/w400-h400/55A25449-B806-468D-A5A8-3FD80D322174.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I dusted off my border punches to create some interest in my paper layers and I layered my photos, distressing the edges of my papers. I popped them up on foam to add a bit more dimension, because we all want more depth don't we ?! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I cut my very very lovely bow, using a die from a set that I own (although you could easily handcut something using a template off the internet). I layered my chipboard embellishments using some of the packaging from the collection which had grid lines on...... it was too good to waste. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrtIcX0-9wlvN8Z53DcVvJys19TY1hhRf2h6WY1J2S10O2OIKIY2uu_pp0pK7bpARtrqxBKqOJmPUaPMCGu7bs27JO1Spn4e8GZ-u9l5hG0Hf7BwYz6HiFsjjCX5Y4DIBific_HqFs0Zw/s1600/89E60F78-9F6B-4A70-9B41-3538FC380E34.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrtIcX0-9wlvN8Z53DcVvJys19TY1hhRf2h6WY1J2S10O2OIKIY2uu_pp0pK7bpARtrqxBKqOJmPUaPMCGu7bs27JO1Spn4e8GZ-u9l5hG0Hf7BwYz6HiFsjjCX5Y4DIBific_HqFs0Zw/w400-h400/89E60F78-9F6B-4A70-9B41-3538FC380E34.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I've titled my layout using the gorgeous Bramble Fox Perspectives along with the 'cool' and the sunnies.
