Mixed Media Album 2

Hello! a few weeks ago I made a Travel Mixed Media album for a dear friends, and liked it so much that I decided to make one for me, even though I do not have any travel plans in the near future I could not resist the idea of making an air mail inspired album.

I gathered some supplies to make the body of the album, but ended up adding more and more pages,

The paper collection I used are Abroad by Studio Calico and Boarding Pass by October Afternoon.

Here are some shots of my fav pages, lets start with the cover:

I can't wait to have an opportunity to fill this up with photos, I really need a vacation :)

Have a Great Day and till next time.

Mixed Media Album 1

Hello, Diana here; this is the week I share a mini album tutorial, but because of the simplicity of this album  I'd rather not call it a tutorial.

Every time I see Mixed Media albums I am inspired by there uniqueness, that is the reason I decided to make not one but several :)  

The beauty of this type of album is that you can use scraps from other projects, I coordinated a bunch of my leftover papers with some envelopes and a plastic zip bag I got at an office supply store a few years ago.

For my front and back covers I used two chipboard pieces from a 7 gypsies album, and a few other chip board and manila pieces to go inside the album.

Once I had selected the quantities I was going to use I covered them with pattern paper.

Here are all the pages.

All it needs is photos and some embellishing.

The HERE tag is from Ormolu, I used some Wood Veneer shaped from Studio Calico and a Flair from American Crafts.

I have to warn you that these albums are very addictive; once I started to group and coordinate papers I just could not stop. More on those on another post :)

Have a great day!
