Guest Designer Erika Taylor- Day Two
29 June 2012 | By admin in Mini Albums & JournalsI’m back again today with a bunch of photos to share with you everyone. Erika Taylor here today to show you a little Boys of Summer mini album I created using the Tiny Tabs Mini Album, Happy Little Houses , Gears #2 and Celestial Shapes from Basically Bare. I wanted to create a little album filled with 3 of my favorite boys of summer. So here it is.
I dismantled the entire album and used the acrylic piece as my front page. I added alcohol inks, cheese cloth dyed with Tattered Angels glimmer mists and papers from FabScraps. I love the way that the cheese cloth looks when you ink it up.
Now for the rest of the album. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it.
For the next page, I used one of the sweet houses from Happy Little Houses to add a bit of texture and layer.
The Sun is from the Celestial Shapes pack. I think this is one of my favorite Basically Bare shapes. So versatile!!
For this next page, I used one of the black chipboard gears from the Gears #2 pack and created my own ship wheel. Loving how it turned out.
The cloud is from the Celestial Shapes pack and is perfect for this little scene. I covered it with patterned paper and mounted it with Zapdots.
And finally the back page. Simple and full of texture.
These little Tiny Tabs Albums are so much fun to create with and can easily be deconstructed to create banners, ATC holders or name plate. Pick up a few with your next Basically Bare order. You are going to LOOOOOOVE them.
That’s it for me today. I’ll be back one last time tomorrow to share my final Guest Designer project for Basically Bare. Until then
