Love Story Album

Hello!  Hope you had a great weekend!  Cannot believe it is Monday....again!  Seems like there are more Mondays than any other day :)

Today I wanted to share a project I had on the Helmar blog this weekend.  It is a mini album.  I thought this would be a great idea to write down all the stories that I have heard growing up about my parents, grandparents and great grandparents.  Then, the stories could be passed on to my kids and their kids...

The album is called "Love Story":

 I used Helmar Acid Free glue to adhere the patterned paper to the album, after I painted the edges with some butter creme acrylic paint.

 

I used Helmar Zapdots to pop up the title stickers and the chipboard panel on the cover.  I LOVE the dimension I can get from the Zapdots.   I used the black circles for this project because they are large enough to hold the weight of the chipboard.

The patterned paper and stickers on this album are by Authentique - Uncommon Collection.

Other supplies:

OCL Sneak Peek Day 2

Hello! Today is day 2 of the Our Craft Lounge sneak peeks. You can find a complete list of the designers who are posting today on the OCL blog.

Blog Candy: Remember to leave comments on all of the blogs today to be entered to win a set of your choice. Winners will be announced on the OCL blog on Saturday.

For today's project, I used the new crafty cling set called Surfin' Santa:
Akk...he is so cute! I love this fun stamp. I stamped Santa and colored him in with Copic markers. After inking the image, I smudged off the design on the shorts to show another way to color them without the candy cane pattern. Pretty straightforward!

Be sure to check back tomorrow for the OCL blog hop.

Thanks for stopping by!
