A simple kit and WAM, an awesome way to use my stash of lovely paper, ephemera, rub-ons, and whatever else is in my circle of reach.
I loved how this project turned out! One of my ladies from the happy place, Scrapbook Haven, 84th & Park Dr., Omaha, NE, showed me her book she made for display and I fell in love! The kit is from CrafTreat and super easy to put together. All of the bases, and tags are included and pre-scored. It comes with 2 mini albums, black (which I used) and kraft. It has instructions included.
I used Mintay paper, Ink Aura, for all the pockets and tags. I also used pieces from their ephemera pack, Vintage Ephemera. Here and there I used rub-ons from Arden and a plephera of other things too numerous to count!
I am excited to use the next album, the kraft one, with maybe a different style, lol. I seem to only have one style but I am trying to expand my crafty horizons. I want to try a bit more whimsy ?!?!
One thing I would maybe do differently, the paper I used is very good quality and a bit sturdy. Some of the tags get a little weighted and need to be coaxed into the pockets. Plan a little bit and cut down the width of the tags so they slip in and out easier. I made hidden pockets and doors on the tags for journaling or personal things, only use them on one side of the tag to keep the bulk down. I would also adjust the adhesive properly, a glue stick has never been my friend and it didn’t work in this project either. My go-to-glue is Nuvo and I use double sided tape for larger sheets of paper.
Let me know what you think!
