What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #218

I am actually scrapbooking again.

Hello Everyone!  Wow I think I was away for three weeks this time.  It is very challenging to keep up with our summer outings and write posts. I also knew I would not have time to respond to others so I chose not to participate. But I am missing my creative peeps! So here I am.

I am re-entering the scrapbooking world. I have been on a bit of a break working on my cards, which I have also been having a break from so what am I doing?  Anyway,  I decided to make a scrapbook of my recent anniversary vacation with my husband.

I recently bought a new Sterilite storage that has a cool compartment that snaps on top. In here I put all of the stuff I am thinking of using in this mini album. The beautiful borders are cut by my Silhouette and I have pretty floss I intend on using and some date stamps.

I collected things while were on our trip to possibly include in a scrapbook album.  I  also have some cool wooden pieces and buttons I have been itching to use on something.

I found this album on sale at Michael’s and thought the color was perfect for a beach album. So I cut out the title on my Silhouette and embossed the word Chatham. I used Thickers for the year.

If you haven’t learned about this amazing creative journey you can take every Wednesday, then head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world for What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday.

Have a blessed day!

Mini Album Project – Choose Happy!

Choose Happy!

Choose Happy!

Hi Everyone!  I thought I would share one of the projects I completed last week on my craft retreat. I haven’t been doing much scrapbooking beyond Project Life and I haven’t made a mini album in a very long time. So this was a really fun project to create. I bought the base for this mini album at  Joann’s a long time ago on clearance. So I gathered it and added some paper from my 6×6 paper packs. The one I used most of was from My Mind’s Eye ‘ Indie Chic – Nutmeg’.  I am on an aqua kick right now so I kept the palette to aqua and a few other colors. I even painted the mini close pins to match.

I also used some sticker elements from Echo Park’s ‘For the Record’.

I also used one of my girlfriend’s Stampin Up stamps to create the little hearts you see in there.

I love all the little pockets and the bicycle is so stinkin’ cute.

The colors are a mixture of serene from the blue and muted browns to pure energy from the golden yellow colors.

I also used doilies for added dimension.

One of my favorite elements are the wooden man and woman. I just love them.

Can’t wait to put something in that glassine envelope.

I am thinking of using only black and white photos so as not to compete with the color scheme.

I will share more projects in the days to come so do stop by soon.

Have a blessed day!
