Good Morning Everyone ~ I finally got my Paper Pumpkin Alternative idea for the December 2016 kit put together!
Well I did get into my craft room yesterday after my hair appointment. I managed to get 1 card and 1 project completed and I was working on on another card. I will finish that card up today as well as make my video for tomorrow. I know what I want to do so I just need to have time to do it. Zoie is still running a fever and may not go to camp again today. Not sure what she has but she has a cough now and has been running a fever since Friday. Any body have any ideas?
I finally got a chance to play with my December 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit. Amanda came up with this idea and shared it with me. She even had a second kit she sent me so that I could make one for each of the girls. I varied the colors so each book uses the opposite colors for the added pieces. This way I know which album belongs to which girl. I plan on using this next year and take a picture of each girl for each month. This will show their year. After I take the picture for their album I will also add some embellishments. I will share each page as I complete it next year. Check out my Paper Pumpkin Alternative.
Here is what the cover looks like. I took one of the acetate sheets and using the washi tape around the edges. I added a piece of designer series paper behind the cover. Here is the cover.
I used some of the pages included in the kit then I created an envelope using the Envelope Punch board. I again used opposite colors for each girl. The top album in the photo shows the envelope. I added some more pages from the kit and then created a fold out piece. The top layer is smaller than the album and fold out. I used the star border punch to punch out the bottom. This fold out piece is on each side of the album. It is the bottom album in the picture.
More pages from the kit were added and then one page was taken and cut in half. A large label was cut out and added to the top half of the page. Another label was added to the back of the top page. The same procedure was used to add labels to the bottom half of the page. It is the top album in the photo. The final extra page added was actually a pocket page. It is created from a large piece of card stock that is scored down the middle and then across the bottom for a few inches. The bottom is folded up and then the piece is folded in half keeping the bottom folds on the outside. It is held closed when you bind the page into the book. The pocket page is the bottom album in the folder.
So what did you think of this album. Isn’t it great? Amanda had some great ideas!
Thanks for visiting me today. What do you have planned for today? I hope you have something fun you are going to do. Have a Terrific Tuesday and I really like this Paper Pumpkin Alternative idea!
