Absolutely swooning over this sweet mini album by Design Team member Bea Valint it's GORGEOUS from cover to cover! Hello there! I’m so excited to share my first project I created with the brand new Pick-Me-Up collection! Everything about this collection is stunning! The colors are amazing, the mixture of both pastel and bolds, and I love all the gold, beautiful flowers, and cheerful embellishments! I have had some cute photos of my daughter lingering on my desk waiting to be used so I decided to create a mini album using these photos and document some cute things we love about our daughter - we can't say those things often enough! My idea was to use the pages as a pocket with round windows and place the photos on tags behind. To do this I opened a new Silhouette Studio document and drew a rectangle in the size of my page (I doubled the longer size because I folded in half the page after cutting). I placed a wreath cut file into the page and removed the outline of the wreath. I used the Flowers in Wreath, Jewel Heart, Scalloped Circles Background, and the Simple Wreath cut files and cut them from my Silhouette Cameo 3. I created four pages with this technique, folded them in half, and adhered them to a paper spine I created before. (I used the hidden hinges technique). I love how the wreaths surround the photos like a pretty paper doily. Here is a look at some of the spreads and interactive elements: I embellished my pages mostly using Stickers and Ephemera Die Cuts. To add a little texture to the album I inserted vellum and tulle pages with lots of sequins from the Haberdashery Multi-Pack. I wrote my journaling on Journaling Spots or on the back of tags. Here is the back cover with string to wrap around a Button on the front to keep it closed. Thank you for stopping by, I hope you like my first mini album made with the Pick-Me-Up collection!
