Have you ever wanted to use gorgeous calligraphy on your scrapbook pages, but felt your skills just weren’t up to scratch? Well Mikko at I Try DIY has some help for you. She developed a technique for faking calligraphy! The best part is that it uses your own handwriting, so it’s fake but at the same time authentic. Say what? Check out the video below
The video is based on her written tutorial that you can find here.
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.
