Happy Easter Wall Hanging with Video for BoBunny

Hello There Friends and a Happy Monday to you!

I hope you’re all doing well. Ginny here today to share a fun and vintage-y holiday wall hanging I created for Easter. Spring has sprung and I’m so excited to use this colorful and fun new BoBunny paper!

I’m using the oh-so-sweet Cottontail Collection for this charming little decor piece. For the base I created a large flower with the We R Memory Keepers Flower Punch Board and some patterned paper then added it to a layer of Double Dot cardstock for a nice border and to give a bit of sturdiness.

The Noteworthy die cuts have a fabulous selection of coordinating themed elements to choose from. I was going for a shabby chic color scheme so I picked the white fluffy bunny and layered it over the picket fence from the Layered Chipboard Stickers.

To balance the right hand side of the wall hanging I added an arrangement of BoBunny Blossoms to coordinate with the patterned papers.  Additional patterns from the collection, the Double Dot paper and the scalloped edge from one of the die cuts add detail and interest to the bottom.

A few eyelets with gingham ribbon strung through create a hanger for displaying. Doilies tucked in create fullness in the arrangement and provide a break from the busy patterns.  Last but not least a few Double Dot Jewels for  a little sparkle and shine.

Sit back and watch the step by steps if you’d like! Thanks for dropping in today!  See you again soon!

Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : )

Lucky Dog Envelope Flip Book Mini with Video

Hello there and happy Tuesday! I hope you are all doing well : )  I’ve got a fun project share for you today. I’ve created an envelope flip book  just perfect for a for a favorite furry friend.

If you love plaids and florals and polka dots….the Raining Cats and Dogs collection from Graphic 45 is chock full of them.

I’ve added a pretty little chipboard frame from GSL to anchor the focal image.

There’s also a lovely selection of coordinating flowers, vintage buttons, a fun metal clip, and ribbon trim in a fabby plaid.

The inside pages have more of the paper patterns layered with pockets, pull outs, and tags.  There’s a schneaky chipboard tab top also for accent.

The little booklet and pull outs provide loads of space to add pictures and journaling.

This collection has sweet little die cuts too so I used them to add interest to the pockets and tag.

I mean….you can never go wrong with plaids right? I have used them in abundance….making sure to mat them with a sold color to keep the arrangement from getting too busy.

Tips ins added to the pages create  fun interactive element to minis and they also add valuable real estate.

Please enjoy this short video flip through…..

Documented Mini Scrapbook Album Echo Park with video

Hello there friends and happy Thursday!  I’m still here in the cold and snow making mini albums to keep myself from being a Michigan winter crazy head person.  I’ll either have to move to a warmer climate or change my name to Ginny’s Wide World of Mini Albums lol.   Anyhoo….today’s album is created with For the Record from Echo Park.

Isn’t this a fun vintagy collection?  I created the book base with a box from the recycle bin. Turns out that eating pita cracker snacks is another thing I do well when it’s super cold out. Not good for me..but great for the scrapbooks.

There are oodles of layers here with fussy cut doilies, flowers, vintage buttons, sequins, and pretty epoxy embellishments.

This set of pages has a band with tags tucked in and a raised matted section for larger pictures.

This collection has fun stylized florals and graph papers.

 I do love me some tip ins….and I did add 6 to this mini.

These pockets hold pull out flip tags with tabbed tops that add a huge amount of real estate to this mini….also the paper is lined so it’s a great place to add pictures and journaling.

I have the flowers added all the way through the book because they are flowers and more flowers is better flowers.

Foam spacers are added to all the tip in journal cards to help bulk up the mini so it will be a nice chunky look and the cover will sit level with the back spine.

There was a page with border strips in the collection and I chose to snip apart the tickets and use them as tabs for the tags.

The last page has a sweet little birdie sticker layered over one of the many fussy cut doilies. I’ve also layered the smaller doilies to create a nice cluster for the top of the matted picture area.

Please enjoy this flip through video I’ve prepared for this not so mini scrapbook album….

Inspire Mini Album Flip Book BoBunny

Hello there and happy Tuesday friends!  A great day for a fun hop with the folks here at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

We are sharing the project we created with the March Ribbon Club Assortment.

You should be coming to me from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog. You’ll want to start there so you won’t miss out on any of the fun.

I created a fun flip book mini album scrapbook embellished with a bow created with the beautiful ribbon that coordinates with the patterned papers perfectly!

That bow is scrumptious! That stitched satin makes for the perfect poof : )

I had so much fun creating tip ins that add a huge amount of real estate in a mini….just think of all the pictures and journaling that can be added!

Pockets hold tags but could also hold mementos like tickets or other flat keepsakes.

Did I mention tags?  I’ve added them in layers….you can never have enough tags!

A great way to add interest to the pages is to add border strips to the top and bottoms of the pages. This set of pages have more pockets and tip ins.

Each of the inside pages have a large pull out of matted coordinating paper for larger pictures. There are 4 in this book so you won’t run out of room to add all the special memories.

 This paper collection is Petal Lane from BoBunny and it makes me think spring ( even though it’s currently snowing.)

The back of the book has a fun cut apart journal card that is great as is…but could be used to write a sweet sentiment.

Please enjoy this flip through video of this flip book…….

Botanical Tea Envelope Mini Album with Video

Hello there friends and happy Friday to you all! I’ve been hiding away in my shop to keep out of the snow and cold.  I’m keeping myself in a springtime frame of mind by creating another mini album scrapbook : ) This time I’m using Botanical Tea from Graphic 45.  A very springy collection in my humble opinion. The book itself is made from handcrafted envelopes…mostly because I ran out of pre-made ones….but also because I think it gives a thicker more sturdy page. This book as a weighty chunky feel to it. I’ve also created the flowers….to entertain myself during our most recent power outage.

Vintage Easter Card

Hello there friends and happy Sunday to you all. I’m dropping in to share a very vintagy inspired Easter card I created with a lovely chippie from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts.

 

Awww this little chap with his basket of eggs is too precious!

I’m using the gate chippie as an anchor for the focal image.

I finished the gate with a blue embossing powder that has  metallic flakes and it  gives it a perfect vintage look.

Not only does it add depth….but it also creates a barrier between the busy cut of the doily.

A sweet and simple collection of old fashioned flowers have twine, and berry stems, and spiral stamens tucked in to create a spring inspired arrangement.

This chippie was a bit too tall to fit on the card so I clipped it in half and removed a section so it will be perfectly sized.

The finish is Atlantic Seaspray embossing powder.

Sun Kissed Mini (mega) Album with Graphic 45

Hello there friends and fellow crafters and happy Tuesday to you : ) I’m sharing a mini album I created with Graphic 45 Sun Kissed collection and by mini I really mean mega because this scrapbook is super chunky.  I deconstructed a Square Tags and Pockets album then reassembled it as a Midori style with inserts.

I did say chunky.  This mini is the thickest scrapbook I have ever created! Of course I added loads of charms to the spine after stringing it up and topped them off with pretty bows and vintage button.

This collection has gorgeous patterns so I layered them up and added altered chipboard, flowers, twine, netting, sequins, and Prills.

Each of the 4 inserts have a fully embellished cover. Spacers between the layers really adds depth.

The insides have large pages for bigger pictures.

Gorgeous beachy themed chippies are the perfect accent.

The pockets inside have tags with coordinating images and plenty of room to add journaling.

This cover has additional die cuts like the little banner and doily which really fill in the arrangement nicely.

Since the entire collection goes together so perfectly I was able to mix and match the patterns to create similar but different combinations for the inside pages.

I left some of the chipboard in it’s natural color since it coordinates so well with the kraft covers!

I really super love the nature inspired images and patterns so perfect for vacation pictures.

Please enjoy this flip through video on how I created this Midori styled scrapbook from the tags and pocket book….
