Distressed little album

Hi everyone,

It's a new Monday and like every Monday, Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge has a new one for us. To Distress is the theme of this week. From inking the edges brown to Tim Holtz products. What are you going to distress this week?

I love the Tim Holtz Distress products and his o so grungy style, but this time I was in a different distress mood. I've made a mini out ​​of corrugated cardboard and have given it a distress look. This album was made for the time I've been to the Castle Gardens in Arcen and I wanted a botanical kind of style to it and have therefore used lots of color.



The paper line is from the Zepher collection from Prima Marketing. It's so colorful and cheerful. And perfect for my botanical theme of the album. I still had a some scraps from a different album that I made. It litterly did some scrapbooking. Love to use up scraps!



For embellishments I used some Zepher Chipboard Pieces alond with the Cork Arrows and Atlantic Stickers. Well you know me, it isn't finished without some washitape on it!The photos are 2 by 3 inches and I printed them with my little LG Pocket Photo Printer. Such a fun device and very convenient to fill up mini albums.

Love, love, LOVE this little album! The colors are so bold and inviting and I loved the sense of humor you threw in with the "Oh Snap" sentiments. Too clever! And wow- you framed the photos so beautifully with the Washi and flowers. I also adore how you made the pages different sizes. Really stunning piece that made me want to make a mini album of my own.

Sandra! This little book is so sweet! (in a wonderfully artistic way, of course!) I second Andrea's opinion and adore the various page sizes. I also LOVE the sweet round tag that you created for the cover. LOVE that!

What a fantastic mini-album - so full of colour and sunshine. Love all the corrugated card, and those stripes of washi tape and the brilliant polka dot lettering on the cover - so cool!
