I love mini albums, but to be honest, I've been making TONS of them lately. And although I love them dearly, they get very tedious SOMETIMES. And unforuneately, or fortunately, I was feeling the monotony of mini albums during recent assignment at Scrapjazz for an album with the theme of "friends." My thoughts revolved around how to take the concept of an "album" outside the box of an album, and well I came up with, why not lay the album out for display? This translated into this:
I took a backless frame and a piece of thin canvas board from the craft store to create it. The canvas was covered with a shimmery cream fabric which I then overlaid with lace. This was then placed in the back of the frame. I took 4x4 pieces of chipboard that I had left over from a previous project (yay leftovers!) and covered them with various scraps from my scrap box. I then found small photos of my me and my friends, and created mini album layouts, using random bits and pieces of left overs - some of the embellishments came from a junk tub that I keep on my desk. And because I am going through a "everything with banners is better phase" I decided that this piece had to have a title Banner Style. This is the finished product:
And a close up of the fun banner pieces that were also made with left overs and random alphabet pieces from American Crafts and Pink Paislee:
The pennant shape was cut from the Pennants SVG file from Lettering Delights and can be found
here. The Octagon shape was cut using Spellbinders Dies, and the rope is from Stampin' Up! All the paper that I used in this project are left overs from my scraps. Pretty awesome huh?
