How To Make a Scrapbook Rolodex Mini Album YouTube Video
Rolodex Scrapbook Mini Album Card 2 Wolverine! Yep...that's what you get when you have boys...superhero everything! I used dark blue card stock for the background. Next, I added the polka dot paper and then the photos. Finally, I inked everything with my sepia ink pad.
Rolodex Scrapbook Mini Album Card 3 My sister and her husband and my husband and I all went on a double date recently and went bowling. We never go out together so it was a fun time and I actually took some photos. Most of them didn't turn out 'cause of the low lighting but they still have a fun blue tint to them. I love how they turned out on this bright yellow card stock back ground. I used lime green pigment ink around the edges of the card and then attached the fiber pieces with staples. The flower peeking out from behind the top right corner is a stamp. : )
Rolodex Scrapbook Mini Album Card 4 Here's card #2 from the double date bowling pics. I used the same look for this one so when they're in the rolodex album, you can tell they go together. Have I mentioned that I love my rolodex album and I'm thankful that Donna Downey came up with the idea?!!?
Chocolate or Facebook I couldn't decide what to title this one? One day I posted the 4 x 6 photo on Facebook with the status "This is my life!" and then I got lots of comments - some of them cracked me up. So, I when I saw this photo again as I was trying to decide what photos to scrap, I knew I had to print these. I also have quite a few other mud layouts...cause my boys love to play in the mud. The main journaling for this layout is the comments from that Facebook post. I copied and pasted them into a word processor and then re-sized them to fit the space that I wanted. I will probably add my own journaling/story to the back of this layout. Sometimes I just can't find a way to put it on the layout itself and fit it into the design. I used brown patterned paper for the background from Cloud 9 Designs Specialty Paper Pad Glitter Papers. The flourish patterned paper is also from the same pack. The ribbon running horizontally along the bottom of the small photos is from American Crafts Elements - not sure which color pallet? I also used a stamp right above the title. It is circles and I used my red pigment ink pad. It turned out pretty subtle but I like the extra touch of red.
Family Time I don't really have a title for this one. If you watched my YouTube sneek peak video , you might be wondering which papers I ended up using. And the answer is...the ones I thought I would use. Yay! That is usually what happens but you never now. It is fun to have different options...sometimes I get overwhelmed and "overanalyze" it. lol So, I just went with it and I like the way it turned out. I do like the way the pink worked with the pink in the photos. Supplies: Hot pink paper - paper pack by Cloud 9 Design - Specialty Glitter Papers Stripe paper - My Mind's Eye - Kaleidoscope Pink Multi Stripes Background paper - Canson Expressions Cornsilk Silk. It is a specialty paper that I think came from my local scrapbook store? Flower stamp: Stampabilities Circle stamp: Stampin' Up Butterfly stamps: Stampin' Up Ladybug Picnic (I'm pretty sure) Journaling block stamp: Stampabilities
