Card Kit, FarmHouse Paper Company, Mini Album, The Paperie

Well, I ended up with a nasty head cold last week and so this didn’t get posted on Friday as planned – sorry!

It’s all here now though, so be prepared for a bunch of photos (you may want coffee. Or tea. Or something decaffeinated. Go ahead, I’ll wait!)

I made this album to highlight a few of my favourite summer pics. I put in 6 tabs, one each of June, July, and August for Molly and Gabe, and then added the photos of them that I loved from each month.

The album is a bit sturdier than usual – I used super heavy chipboard for the covers and spine and a Tim Holtz small ring binder to hold the pages. I decorated the cover with some of the Farmhouse Paper Company stickers and used the included stamp set with gold embossing (my favourite thing lately):

sunshine - embossing

And hung a Tim Holtz Idea-ology Collage Key from the spine:

For the first page I cut down one of the envelopes and misted it. I then decorated it with one of the Farmhouse flowers (sidenote: not a flower lover here but these ones are gorgeous!) and a bit mist. It holds bits and pieces from the summer.

The main pages are cut down and then folded up to make pockets where I put additional photos. The back of each pocket has a full size picture:

sunshine - august gabe

And the mist I used on the envelope and pocket pages is, of course, shimmery gold to match the embossing on the cover!

Each of the small photos is mounted on a 7 Gypsies library card (not included in the kit but the Paperie carries them, fabulous for PL!). The date is written on the tab and there’s a small line about the photo on the back:

That’s it! You made it to the end – whew! If you live locally and want to see the full album, check it out at The Paperie, along with the rest of my LO’s and Wendy’s cards.

Come back tomorrow, my post is ready to go with the October Simple Scrapper templates and a bunch of the SS girls are joining in too!

1. Did you all miss me? ๐Ÿ™‚ I’ll say yes, you did!

I had an awesome time in Orlando where I took a bunch of classes and workshops for the Paperie. Trust me, there are some a. ma. zing. classes planned so if you live in NL or want to plan a fun trip here to visit, there will be a weekend full of classes early in the new year that you won’t want to miss!

Just saying, great Christmas gift my friends…..

2. I saw and fell in love with a new line while in Orlando. FarmHouse Paper Company debuted at Summer CHA and the quality is fabulous! And you all know how much I love a mini album right? Well, the ones they have are spectacular, hint hint! ๐Ÿ™‚

Oh, and my picture made it on their blog – check out how much fun we were all having!

3. Today is the 12th and I’m sure you all know what that means….

Pictures! Who’s going to join me in taking 12 on Twelve? This is one of my favourite projects, love this little clip of everyday life once a month!

4. I’m very excited to go out with my scrappy friends tonight! A couple of times a year we get ourselves organized and go for dinner. So far, we have a list of 15 – I hope Oppidan is ready for us, we can get a little rowdy! ๐Ÿ™‚

5. I’m looking forward to a great weekend. I’m taking a class from Rae Lynn on Saturday (check out my Paperie Pick blog post on Classes, it should be up later today)

…and Darrell is doing a photowalk. Hopefully the sunny fall weather will hold and we’ll get some time feeding the ducks in the park too!

Hope you all have a great weekend, whatever you’re doing!
