Cowgirl Mini Album

 
Hello friends!
When I spotted this Prairie Chic collection by Bo Bunny I just knew I had to make an album with it. For this one I decided to make it into a chipboard album.
I used the 6x6 album by Farmhouse Paper company that you can find at Hobby Lobby.
 
 
What I wasn't expecting was how chunky this book would end up being.
It also has quite a few more pages than my paperbag albums.
This is as closed as it gets!
 
 
This was a super fun album to make. The cute shabby chic style and patterns with fun cowgirl accents really made for a fun combination.
 
 
As always, I added lots of flowers. I also added glittered chipboard swirls and little bits of washi tape throughout the album.

 
I couldn't believe how this book grew
as I added more and more pages. Luckily the paper line was full of so many fun graphics and patterns to make this album layered and full.

 
If you are interested in purchasing this album or would like to see more pages from it, you can find it listed on ebay!

 
Have a lovely day, Lindsey

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
