A Proper Vintage Gentleman - Mini Album

Hello!

Thanks for stopping by! Today I am sharing a mini album that I made for the SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L and Graphic 45 blog hop.  You can visit the 3L blog here.  Be sure to hop along on both the 3L blog and the Graphic 45 blogs (hint hint PRIZES!)

So for my mini, since it will be a gift, I don't have the photos ahead of time.  This can present a problem if you like to have elements that overlap your photos.  This is where the 3D Foam squares and Crafty Foam Tape come in.  They provide just the right amount of "lift" to my elements so that the recipient can easily slide their photos behind the various embellishments.

The album is 4x6 and the photo mats are approximately 3.5" square.

Here are some shots from inside the album:

7 Gypsies Printer's Tray Christmas Project

I hope everyone had a great Holiday :-) Today I wanted to share a printer's tray project that I did for my mom and my cousin this year. The picture below is the one I did for my mom. I decorated a 7 Gypsies tray with vintage elements and old family photos. I really had fun with this one!

There are so many elements to this tray!! I used game pieces, light bulbs, spools, cards, stick pins, buttons...the list goes on! Here are some close ups:

Here is a ticket I hand stamped using Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Stamps and his ticket strip die cut from Sizzix.

An oh-so-cute picture of my brother and I, a domino, a Maya Road vintage stick pin, and a light bulb.

Vintage order sheet by Jenni Bowlin and a handmade rosette.

Bingo Chips by Maya Road, Playing Card, Dice, button and another Maya Road stick pin.

Mini Ticket strip by Maya Road, and a Scrabble piece.

Vintage key, and a handmade rose made of old book pages.

Bird die cut from Sizzix and stamps by Lawn Fawn.

Happy Holidays everyone! :-)
