Wedding Album - Breann and Ryan - page 1-4

My formula for this album was lots of black, grey, and white;  paper, cardstock, washi tape, photo mats, and journal tags.

 pages 1 and 2

 swirls of pearls

 pages 3 and 4

 more pearls

 page 4 - waterfall

 The waterfall allows for photos on the front and back, which means 6 photos on one page which is why I tripled the amount of journaling tags.

Wedding Album Cover - Breann and Ryan

For this album I cut chipboard to 10" x 7".  I used my new Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper by Memory makers - VERY disappointing!  It said on the package that it cuts chipboard easily - not so, my hand is still sore, also when I used it on paper no matter how I fiddled with lining up the paper it still left odd corner bits that I had to trim by hand. Not happy with this $25.00 purchase.

I did not know their wedding colors, so I used lots of black and white patterned paper, cardstock, and washi tape for this young couple's album, going for a classic yet modern look.

Loving Martha Stewart's hydrangea punch.  I used scraps of the grey and white patterned cardstock that were leftover from the album to build my flowers.

Had a blast adding lost of pearl swirls, really added a lot of richness and texture to the album.

Nail Art - Teal

This time I got lucky, Kimmie was all booked so I came in as a walk in and it just so happened that her appointment didn't show, so she squeezed me in real quick.  Simple, but fun, even in a pinch, she continues to amaze me!!

Cool Rogue Robots

For this swap we were asked to design robots.  My first two robots were quickly given chores - washing dishes and doing the vacuuming and dusting.  My third robot was in charge of making cherry pie - mmmm pie!!!  This was a hand drawn swap so I drew with Sharpie pen and colored with colored pencils.

Art Dolls

This was a mixed media collage swap, I used patterned papers, photo portrait images, washi tape, images of butterfly and moth wings, and Bic permanent markers to detail  the clothing.
