LMCB #45 - Summer Album - "Fun In The Sun"!!

Hello!!!!! Hope everyone is having a FAB wknd!! We have an awesome challenge at Lasting Memories this week and we really hope you'll join us! We're making summer themed albums!! There are so many neat album ideas out there that I thought this would be a fun one to try. Doesn't have to be something over the top and extremely hard at all!! Here's mine!

I used a CTMH "My Creations Circle Album" that I had on hand and punched out all the scalloped circles and embellished and then distressed the edges. If I remember right, there's 22 circles! I haven't added pics yet as I want to wait for good summer photo's. Now hurry on over to Lasting Memories to see what's happening - we have a surprise this week!! Also, you HAVE to see what the DT did with their albums! They blow me away every week!!!

LMCB #8 - Chipboard and Fall Colors! It's a BABY Book!

Good morning! Hope everyone's had a great wknd do far! This week at Lasting Memories, we're challenging you to use fall colors AND chipboard on your layouts! On Tuesday, I posted a card that I made for my neighbor's new addition to their family. I had planned on making a nice layout and framing it and then I remembered I had my CTMH Acrylic album that I still had sitting in my drawer!! So, I thought this would be the perfect gift and then Beverly just has to add her photo's and journalling and I've even added a couple little pockets for a lock of hair, whatever she chooses! The little stars are done in chipboard and some of the colors remind me of fall. There's quite a few pages to this little book. There are some that are smaller, a couple little insert types...I hope you can see them all ok. If you click the photo, you'll see it better. I can't wait to give this little set to her!! Now be sure to hop on over to Lasting Memories to see what the rest of my DT came up with to inspire you to play along!!

Unfortunately, the last 2 pics wouldn't load right, I'm not sure what's going on. Tried 3 times and gave up! You can get the idea though.  Question for you...would you add Ryder's last name on the front as well? Let me know what you think!

8x8 Grad Album

Well, today's the day of my very first craft show! Wish me luck! I was very busy as I didn't know if I was going to do it till the last minute and I mean LAST minute! I've been busy at home, then came down with an eye infection on Wed night...what a week!! It's been a whirlwind, so I hope I do well. I decided to try my hand at a Graduation gift set. I had an 8x8 album, so I pre-made all the pages and all you have to do is add photo's and journal. I made a matching card to go with it. I thought this would be the prefect gift for that graduate on your list. Of course, if it doesn't sell, I'll keep it for Andrew's grad in June! Let me know what you think! I made it fairly simple so it could be used for either a boy or a girl. There are some more pages, but I left them plain, with a 7x7 white square in the middle for autographs, photo's, whatever they choose. I also added some inspirational sayings on those pages and the last pg is (4) 3x3 squares. There's 20 pg's in all.

Isabella's Baby Book

This is an album that I started for my new niece, Isabella, a little bit ago. I was waiting to get some pics to put in it. This morning I finally finished it! The album is a 6x6" accordian album from CTMH, the paper is called 'Baby Pink' (retired) from CTMH. I used my 'New Arrival' cricut cartridge for the embellishments, the stamped images on the front are from Stamping Bella as is the charm and the 'dream' and sentiment are from CTMH 'aspiration' stamp set.

Enjoy!

'Isabella' 6x 6 Accordian Album

I hope everyone who is having wonderful weather is having a chance to get out and enjoy it. We're having a heatwave here in Ontario. It's wonderful! This week, over at Stamping Bella, the challenge was a sketch challenge and I really had fun with this one. I am working on a 6x6 CTMH Accordian album for my new niece, Isabella (surprise Lee Ann..lol) and when I saw Nicky's sketch, it was PERFECT for the front of this little album!! I'll showcase it again once all the pics are in it. Enjoy!

Materials:

• "Sunday Dress" Stamping Bella
• Sentiment - Stamping Bella
• Charm - Stamping Bella
• CTMH Sweet Pea paper pack
• CTMH 6x6 papers
• CTMH prisma glitter
• Pearls - Cosco

CTMH "My Creations Circle Album"

Here's another project I did when I first started with CTMH. This 'My Creations Circle Album' came in our kit, so I just had to try it out! It sells for $6.25 and it's a great way to display pics and you can give as a gift or even fill it and use it as your brag book in your purse/bag! It's the perfect size! This little 4 3/4" album comes complete with chipboard die cut shapes and 10 cardstock pages plus covers. It's a great idea!
