Mother and Daughter Mini Book Workshop

Front cover and inside first page

The Mother and Daughter Mini Book Workshop is being held on May 7 at 1:30 pm. This is my sample book so you can see what you can potentially make with the book. This was a pretty quick book to make up. I used the Beautiful You Picture My Life cards and the My Creations Black Mini Book for this project. I accented with the gold foil tape as well as heat embossing several pages.

The other options for this mini book is the My Creations Kraft mini book. You can then choose your own set of Picture My Life cards from the many available. You will be purchasing at minimum a book and a set of cards to take part in the workshop (you are free to use prepurchased PML cards if you already have some).  Each pack of cards was enough to do 2 books depending on how you use the cards and how many pictures you use. I will also have accents, such as the gold foil tape, silver foil tape, washi tape and ribbons and of course many different colors of embossing powder to use along with the multitudes of stamp sets available. These extra accessories are included in the $5.00 workshop fee.

Please remember to bring along a tape runner, scissors, a paper trimmer and an assortment of pictures that can be reduced down in size to under 4"x6". 

Registration for this workshop will close next Thursday, April 28th at 8:30 pm. Please contact me with your choices of book and PML cards by the RSVP deadline. 

DRCC Session 5 Class #4

This week is more advanced than previous classes. I liked this layout as it has a lot of picture space and in order to put more on my layout I've incorporated a fold out of the pictures using half of a photo storage page on the right side. I'll also be demonstrating how to do the scallop edge with a corner rounder. I used the Irresistibles Dimensional Elements for my title. In order to make the emboss resist design already on the chipboard visible, I sponged Twilight ink over top of the letters. I stamped my animal critters on white cardstock, cut them out and then adhered them with 3D foam tape.

Here is the expanded view of the photo storage page mini album. I secured the folded up mini album with ribbon, a ribbon slide and brads. I left it loose enough to slide off of the page in order to expand it. 

This is the other view. I used hinges to adhere the photo storage page to the layout. I chose to put the hinges through my photo so that the picture wouldn't bubble over it, but you could adhere the photo over top of the hinges. I will be cutting the page protector to allow for the expansion of this mini album once the class is over.
