 Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun Dinosaur themed album featuring the Deco Tab Chipboard Album from Clear Scraps.

Supplies Used:

Clear Scraps: Deco Tab Chipboard Album

Step. 1: I started by masking the edge of all the tabs. 

Next, I painted the tabs in alternating greens. Green then light green. I repeated the process on the back side.

I then gently remeved all the masking tape and set the pages off to the side to dry.

Step. 2: I trimmed all the pages for the album. Along with all the photo mats. Pages all measure 6-3/4" wide by 8-1/4" long. I cut some cardstock along with the pattern paper from the kit. The photo mates all 3" x4". I also trimmed the cut apart pages that are inclued tin the kit. I used them as photo mats and decor throught the album.

Step. 3: I adhered the pattern paper to the cover of the album. Then using a hole punch I punched the hole in the paper. 

I repeat the process on the other side with cardstock. I do this for all the pages of the album

Step. 4: I decorate all the pages and covers of the album. I included a few 4" x 6" cut a parts from the kit as little inserts for more decor, photos, journaling. I add the ring binders and some Ric-Rac for a fun touch.

Here's a look at the album.

I started by painting the cover of the mini album. I used the red paint for the front sides and the pink for the insides. I set them aside to dry.

Next, I painted the Clear Scraps: Chipboard Script Love Word Title Love in pink. Let it dry. Once dry I sprayed it with the Chroma Mist in Tiara for the perfect shimmer. Set it aside to dry.

While my covers and title were drying I cut 4 panels 3-1/2" x 5-1/2" from 110lb White cardstock. These will be the pages of the album. I also cut the 80lb Black cardstock about 1/4" smaller than the page, I also trimmed the pattern papers a 1/4" smaller than the Black mats for the pages. Along with a variety of shapes from White cardstock that will be my photo mats.

I then adhered all the layers and decorated each page with a sticker and 

a few Clear Scraps Sprinkles: Heart Love for a total of 8 pages.

Now that the covers are dry I start to assemeble the album. I start by adhereing the

 Clear Scraps: Chipboard Script Love Word Title Love onto the front cover.

Next, I punch the two holes on each page that match up with the front and back cover of 

the Clear Scraps: Hearts Wood Card using the Crop-a-dile. 

I insert the rings on the back cover then all the pages followed by the the front cover and close the rings.

I add a few decorative ribbons to the rings.

Now, the Mini Love Album is complete!

Friends, Birthdays and Betty Boop...

The month of May was filled with lots of fun activities for our family. We had Mother's day, school functions, Our youngest daughter was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. Then there was a few birthdays -- my hubby's, several other family members and 2 neighbor friends (One of which I have become so very close to). 

She (Norma) loves all things Betty Boop. So, for her birthday gift I created a mini envelope album. I decided to keep it simple because she doesn't scrapbook and finds it very intimidating. I figured this would be a great way to get her into scrapbooking. After, receiving her album she wants to create one of her children and grandson. 

I love the way envelope album give you pockets to hide journaling on minis. 

Thanks for looking. Leave me a comments.
