A Page in my Album

Just a quick post :)  I am in the middle of making my first mini album and this page of the album is for the Cherry Lynn Challenge 'Lace'.

For this page I first covered both sides of white card with the backing papers I wanted to used and then cut the shape with a Spellbinder die.  Next I started to decorate the page.  Each page in my mini album will have a pocket with a tag inside and each tag will have an inspirational saying.  The one on this page says 'I don't just want to survive, I want to live'.  After the page I attached some lace at an angle then created the pocket by by cutting a quarter circle and embossing it with a heart embossing folder. This was attached to the card and some lovely maroon lace I have was added.  Next I used my lovely Cherry Lynn Dreamcatcher die to make three circular doilies which I attached over the edge of the embossed circle section and placed a gem in the centre of each.  I printed the text for the tag and then cut it out with an XCut die and added pink ribbon and a small flower so it is easy to pull out the pocket.


Ingredients:-
  • White card from Craft Creations
  • Dies used - Cherry Lynn Dreamcatcher, Spellbinder Grand- Labels 1, X-Cut - large tags
  • Ribbon, backing paper, lace, flower and gems from my stash.
I am entering this album page in the following challenges:-
