I spent this last weekend finishing up a mini album I have been working on for a co-worker. It's pink and feminine for a new little girl. I am working with lots of Maya Road embellishments and papers from the Maggie Holmes Confetti paper line.
I painted the chipboard album with a coat of gesso and then a coat of Antique Linen Distress Paint. The word "sweet" is a Maya Road chipboard word that I embossed with gold embossing powder. I die cut the onesie with the Little Bits - Onesie die from Taylored Expressions.
I am keeping the album closed with an elastic band from Tim Holtz.
Here's the inside cover and front page. I added a pocket where you can write something special and a place to add a picture. The sentiment is from the Reverse Confetti Fancy Word Coordinates Stamp Set.
Here I added a paper doily sponged with pink ink and just played with the embellishments until I had a layout I liked. The word "always" is embossed with an embossing enamel.
I added some stenciling to the page on the left with the MFT Concentric Circles Stencil. I added another pocket for extra photos or keepsakes.
I love the little burlap banner from Maya Road! I strung them together with gold thread. The word "hello" is one of Maya Road's cute metal clips.
I added a piece of vellum to the page on the left. I added a few highlights to the wooden owl with a Copic Marker.
I added sequins to a vellum envelope.
And here's a look at the last page and inside back cover.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a good week!
This is just lovely Melody!! Such wonderful embellishments!!
