10 things mini

Leave a reply

So, Danielle and I decided to do a 10 things layout. And, we both . . . kind of . . . have pockets on our pages. . . sort of. . . LOL!! I designed mine in design space, and then ended up not using that at all, but I wanted to keep some of the feel of it! We went off of this page as our inspiration.

I went ‘old school’ and every stamp on this page is retired. (sorry, not sorry!) I started with some sapphire cardstock, and stamped my NYC in Rustic Alphabet with versamark so that I could use the gold glitter embossing powder! It really does shimmer when it moves! Then I used Jennifer’s Hand with the versamark and white embossing powder. The little heart came from the Share the Love set, and I used the versamark and white embossing powder on it too. (The camera image comes from that same set)

To add some “stars” to the background, I used the Ink Blot set and the versamark ink with the gold glitter embossing powder.

I used one flip flap that was 3×4 and 5 that were the 2×2 size. I cut my cardstock to the right sizes and added the numbers. I haven’t decided if I am going to stick with just words for the numbers, or try to do some photos too!

Now, hop on over to Danielle‘s blog and see what fun stuff she has come up with! (I know she has a video for you too!)

Join me in a Mini Album weekly challenge!

My friend Danielle and I are doing a weekly challenge between us to create a mini album page each week. We will both have the same sketch to work with, and using currently available products, we are going to make a page. I think that it will be good to get caught up on some past photos, because, what scrapbooker doesn’t have some photos that they don’t need to get caught up on, right?

I was thinking that the mini albums allow you to get things scrapped, but you don’t have to spend a lot of time to be able to do it. You have space to do some journaling, add some photos, and you are good!

Today’s page doesn’t have any photos on it yet, but I am hoping to get them on there for next week’s post. (so, that might become a thing? We’ll see!)

So, here is today’s sketch.

I think it is designed more for an 8×10 page (which you could also do), but I went with a 6×8 page.

With four kids, I have a lot of birthdays each year! Not only my kids’ birthdays, but the birthdays of the kids in their classes! So, there can be a LOT of photos for those! So, I went with a birthday theme! This page can be used for either Evan or Audrey, as they both like these colors. I used papers from the Mix Ins paper packet and the Celebrate Today paper packet! The balloons (and string) I grabbed from my stash, but they are CTMH! The balloons are Lagoon, Avonlea Teal (it was a cardstock specific to that paper packet), and I believe Juniper. So, two of those colors are retired, but they worked so well! The cardstock mat in the back is Glacier, light side.

Don’t you just love the flip flaps on this page? Yes, the balloons are outside of the page protectors! I attached them with some glue dots. (I used 3×4 and 2×2 flip flaps)

I made multiple layers with the balloons, to add more depth to the whole balloon cluster! There is room for 5 photos on this one little 6×8 scrapbook page! And even room for journaling too!

I would love to see what you do with this sketch! Won’t you play along with us? Make sure to hop over to Danielle’s blog to see what she came up with for this page!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will take a look around! Let me know what you think!
