If you love a scrapbooking paper collection, but can’t buy it all, Ashli Oliver has a great video tutorial showing how you can maximize the parts you can afford. The key item is the stamp set! She shows how you can make your own patterned papers to match a collection in this tutorial at Shimelle. Brilliant ideas Ashli!
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.
Learn more and check out the entire project over at the Simple Stories blog.
