Tag shaped acrylic album

Jessica www.kits2remember.com sent me this tag album to work with, for her to bring along to the expo in Florida in december.
I had never worked with this shape acrylic before, so it was really a fun challenge for me.
With Si turning 5 earlier this month, I wanted to create a simple mini slbum with memories from his birthday, while the memories were still fresh in my mind.
I used Ki Memories sheers on the front cover.
Instead of using ribbon on the binder rings, I strung Prima Flowers on the rings.
I used Paint dabber to paint along the edges of every page.
I used the Glitz designs circle rubon as the template for the pictures on the pages.
Every page has 4 pictures that I trimmed to fit inside that circle.

my first Canadian Scrapbooker pub

While at Rhubarb Roots last Thursday, I noticed they had the latest issue of Canadian Scrapbooker magazine, so while flipping through it I spotted my sample. I was thrilled because I didnt realize this was the issue I would be in.

a toot

I was crazy excited to have 2 copies of the new Paper Trends arrive, along with a box full of scrapping goodies(and of course my sample)
It was my first pub with them(and hopefully not my last)

look what arrived

Thanks Rob:)

8'' acrylic circle album

"40 reasons why being your Momma rocks"

When Jessica(Kits 2 remember) sent me 3 acrylic albums and basically said to go nuts with them, I was really excited.
The first thing I decided when trying to figure out what to do with this mini album, was that I wanted to go with a black and green colour scheme, and from there I went with black and white pictures.
Majority of the embellishments I chose were black, with a few green ones for contrast.
I had a blast working on this, and this would be a typical example of my current scrapping style.

December daily journal album

After admiring Ali Edwards December journals for the last 2 seasons, I finally decided it was my turn to give it a whirl. I used two 5x7 acrylic pieces from Kits 2 Remember for my front and back cover, and then an assortment of patterned paper, transparencies, tags, envelopes and acrylic circles for the inside pages.
I am going to take a picture every day in December, so I can complete each page as I go along......are you playing along as well for December?

It was difficult because he was wide awake, very active, and not having fun:)
