Vintage Style Summer Tags

 

Hello friends!

I was playing around in my craft room the other night and created this set of tags.

I was going with a vintage beach theme.

 

I used a really dreamy paper line called The Pier by Crate Paper. I printed vintage graphics that I found on Pinterest to add that extra vintage touch!

 



 

I started out with #8 tags which are 3 x 6 1/4 tags

 and inked them using Distress Inks.

 

I also dyed seam binding with Distress Stain to coordinate with the tags.

 

A fun project! I love making these little works of art!

 

Wishing you a beautiful day, Lindsey

July 4th Mini Album

 

Hello friends!

I have been a bit behind on my crafting lately.

I picked up this gorgeous vintage style 4th of July themed paper from

Bo Bunny's Anthem line.

 

 

I printed vintage graphics that I found on Pinterest

 to add more vintage details to it.

 

I also added stickers from Authentique's Pride collection which also

 had a nice antique feel. And of course I like to add lots of flowers!

 



 

I love this Martha Stewart border punch.

 It creates perfect holes for hand stitching!

 

This was such a fun mini album to make. I love doing the paperbag style

 the best. It measures 6x6. They are easy to put together and I feel

 like it gives a nice background for my vintage themed style.

 

I love the recent trend of creating Polaroid style photo mats.

 Such a brilliant idea!

 

I hope you enjoyed viewing this paperbag album.

 

Wishing you a lovely day, Lindsey

Memories Of Me and You Mini Album

 

Hello dear friends!

It's been a wet and stormy start to August,

 so what better way to spend it than inside my crafting room!

I created a new mini album this week and wanted to share it with you.

 

 

The line I used is called Captured Memories by Fancy Pants.

 I loved the pastel colors and photography theme throughout the paper.

 

With this cute little photo reel I added it to the page with a brad so it spins!

 

I'm really enjoying the chalkboard trend right now

 in the scrapbooking community and this quote is so perfect!!!

 

I hope you enjoyed peeking inside my latest creation!

It's listed for sale on ebay.

 

Have a wonderful day, Lindsey

Summertime Sweetness

 

Hello friends!

I made this paperbag album recently sand thought I would share.

 

 

I used Crate Paper's Pier line for this mini.

I just loved the soft pastel feel of these papers. So sweet!

 

I also printed cute vintage graphics from Pinterest

 to add more detail and an older feel to the album.

 

This is my favorite page in the album.

I just love that little ferris wheel.

 

I used Martha Stewart border punches all throughout.

 I am so addicted to these!

 

I hope you enjoyed taking a peek into my latest mini album.

Wishing you a wonderful day, Lindsey

 

 

ABC Primer Album

Hello friends!

It's that time of year for school to start again,

so I made this ABC Primer mini album.

I used Graphic 45's ABC Primer paper line for this album. It's not a new collection but see fairly easy to find as it was quite popular.

As with all my albums, I do a lot of hand cut embellishments and flowers.

I also love my dyed seam binding, which I dye myself using Distress Stains.

This one I used here is Antique Linen Distress Stain.

Hope you enjoyed this pick of one of my latest albums.

Have a bright and happy day, Lindsey



Retro Baby Boy Album

Hello friends!

 I want to show you a Baby Boy mini album using Crate Paper's Little Boy Blue paper line!

I also used Crafty Secrets vintage boy stickers with

this paper line and they coordinated perfectly!

The colors of this paper are so lovely and the red

gingham ribbon matched so well.

My favorite pattern was the blue paper with red polka dots!!

I highly recommend this paper line for all you retro/vintage fans out there!!

Have a lovely day, Lindsey



 

Scrap-a-Palooza Crafting

Hello friends!

Recently, I was at big scrapbooking event in our area,

 called, Scrap-a-Palooza by Scrapbook Generation.

 It was 13 hours of non stop scrapping!

 Here is my table, where I am working on a mini album.

I got there at 8:00 a.m and the line was already wrapped

around the building!

This is a big event which holds up to 300 people!

Scrapbook Generation also brought a full on site store

with so many cute new paper lines to tempt me with!

There we're also gourmet cupcakes

that were way too tempting and very tasty!

Throughout the day, I also taught a mini class and 2 demos.

Don't look too close, but there I am during my class!

Here is the finished album I created while there.

This album was created using the Messages line

by Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker. It was so fun,

because I was sitting next to

 Nikki Sivils while using her paper!

I loved the theme of this paper with it's cute

 phones and typewriters!

I also dyed seam binding with Wild Honey

 Distress Ink to coordinate with the paper.

This album has been listed here on ebay.

It was a super fun day, but oh so exhausting!

It took all day Sunday to recover!

Wishing you happiness, Lindsey
