Themes, layouts and inspirations
Mikko is sharing a great follow up tutorial to her popular How to Fake Calligraphy video. Once you’ve created your artwork, you might like to have it in digital format so you can use over and over again. You’ll need to be familiar with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, but the results are well worth it! (If you don’t have these programs, you can sign up for 30-day free trials at Adobe.)
Andrea used the Fun Times collection from Simple Stories to create this fabulous mini Travel Tag album. She even found a cute tiny plastic suitcase to fit it inside of, decorating the outside with a few chipboard elements and a scalloped border.
The album itself has different siezd and shaped pages, some rectangle, some tag shaped, some with scalloped edges but all stitched around the edges. It’s held together at the top with a metal “O” ring.
The pages have 3″ x 2 1/2″ photos that are accented with metal buttons, vintage cameras, floral and map papers, chipboard embellishments, tabs, labels and travel related designs in fun retro color combinations.
She’s even included some fun interactive pages too for a really cool tiny but mighty album design.
