Festive Mini Album with Karla Yungwirth

Hello friends and Happy New Year! Karla back today with a cute and festive mini album using the Itty Bitty Snowflakes, Snowflakes 713, Soda Fizz Stencil and adorable Mini Album from the Southern Ridge Trading Company Shop. December always seems to pass so quickly, and I never really get everything done that I want to do, so I decided to take some time to make this sweet tiny mini album with the December Scrapbook & Cards Today Sampler pack, which included these fun Doodlebug Designs Christmas papers, stickers and ephemera and embellish it with the SR chipboard and stencil products.

I started off by tracing each tiny chipboard page (2.5”square) onto the desired patterned paper, which I then cut out and inked around the edges. I used a Crop-A-Dile punch to cut the holes from the paper and then glued each onto the chipboard.

I recently won some beautiful Viva Decor Inka Gold paints from the 12 Days Of Giving contest by Creative Scrapbooker Magazine, and these were the perfect paints to coat the snowflakes! I just dabbed the sponge lightly into the paint and rubbed it on the chipboard. It dried quickly and gives a beautiful sheen.

I again used the Silver paint with the Southern Ridge Soda Fizz stencil on a couple pages for a snowy effect. This is one of my most used stencils!!

After all my pages were prepared I went ahead and embellished each one. You could easily make extra pages and tuck in some photos from your Christmas! I absolutely love the tiny Itty Bitty Snowflakes!! They are just perfect to quickly dress up any cards, scrapbook pages or tags. I even added some sequins to them for extra shine. This cute dimensional gingerbread sticker was perfect for the cover of the album.  I connected the pages with some hemp twine and blue ribbon from my stash and then made a little tassel to hang on the side. I added another little snowflake directly to the tassel.

Here’s a look at each of the inside pages:

The paper on the back of the album was so cute I decided to leave it the way it was.

I had so much fun making this album!! I’ll definitely be putting this keepsake with my Christmas decorations – it might even hang on my tree next year!

A Summer Sn@p Album

Hey Bloggers! 

I wanted to pop in and share a bit of my Summer SN@P album I've been working on! I have so many random summer pictures I thought it would be nice to start an album dedicated to summer! It doesn't matter what year...I just want our vacations to be documented, and I really loved this SN@P album from Simple Stories! So that's about all the excuse I need to start a new mini album! :)

I love these Starfish (NAT-320) from SRTC! You could really do so many fun things to them to alter them, but I am really loving the raw organic look of natural chipboard these days! I think it works really well with the fabric album and the whole summer theme :)

Aaak! These glasses! I love them so much I can't even stand it! As a teenager I always wanted a pair of glasses JUST like these, so when I saw them at a crop I was at at the SRTC table, I knew they had to be mine! They work perfectly with the "enjoy the view" sentiment on the viewfinder sticker! All I did with them was smear them on an ink pad and they were good to go! lol

for the flourish (which was part of that big 12x12 flourish chipboard that I did a layout with here), I rubbed it down with Inka Gold, then put a layer of liquid adhesive down and just doused it with gold glitter! I kinda love it! 

This album is a work in progress, so I will be posting more of it on my blog from time to time! :)

Thanks for stopping by!!

Blessings,

Sarah
