To start off cut one piece of card stock at 10" x 10" for the base</div>

Hi everyone and welcome to my Happy Place.....</div>
<div>
Today I will be showing you how to create this pretty mini album using Mon Amour</div>
<div>
it is a rather long tutorial to create from start to finish ......so stay with me!<br>
<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-79GeH0qQtls/WrnaTcJCRcI/AAAAAAAAFFk/eWZhNDE2C2MgQUnZEXQv1qi4Y9IDXuJTACHMYCw/s640/blogger-image--544206660.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="299" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-79GeH0qQtls/WrnaTcJCRcI/AAAAAAAAFFk/eWZhNDE2C2MgQUnZEXQv1qi4Y9IDXuJTACHMYCw/s400/blogger-image--544206660.jpg" width="400"></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<br>
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To start with we will build the cover....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
cut your chipboard to 2 pieces at 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" and spine at 6 1/2" x 1 3/4"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
then glue down to your chosen cardstock leaving about 1" edge all around (see pictures for a visual description)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Make sure you leave a gap between each piece ...TIP...I leave double the thickness of the cardstock!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Trim away corners as shown leaving around an 1/8" for turning under, add your score tape as shown..</div>
<br>
<div>
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YV0-v_5YECc/WrR5VcG-uvI/AAAAAAAAE-8/1fXYzsX_HPwa1pWIv-jGb8r5Wqe5ciY3wCHMYCw/s640/blogger-image-1537798357.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YV0-v_5YECc/WrR5VcG-uvI/AAAAAAAAE-8/1fXYzsX_HPwa1pWIv-jGb8r5Wqe5ciY3wCHMYCw/s640/blogger-image-1537798357.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: #0066cc; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-left: 16px; margin-right: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: underline; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YV0-v_5YECc/WrR5VcG-uvI/AAAAAAAAE-8/1fXYzsX_HPwa1pWIv-jGb8r5Wqe5ciY3wCHMYCw/s400/blogger-image-1537798357.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="400"></a></div>
<div>
Next score around the outside of cardstock and ease to fold around your cover.....add wet glue to cardstock just to make sure everything is secure (not too much..or it may tear if too wet) and fold over these flaps....</div>
<div>
use your score tool or finger nail ;) to press and fold the wee corner in</div>
<div>
<br></div>

<i><br></i>
Your cover will look like this....now gently using your score tool make a crease where your cover folds....gently...did I gently fold to stretch the fibres for opening and closing your album<br>
<br>
<div>

<div>
<b><br></b></div>
<div>
Now cut 2 at 6" x 6" and 1 at 6" x 4" cardstock in same colour as cover...</div>
<div>
take the 6" x 4" glue down with score tape and wet glue over the spine area (line up top and bottom then sides so it fits nice)<i></i></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>

<div>
<b><br></b></div>
<div>
Next glue down the two cover pieces...line up with spine section...now give this a few minutes to settle then again gently mark spine groves as shown and fold gently to stretch fibers </div>
<div>
</div>
<i></i></div>

<div align="left">
<br></div>
<div align="left">
Next its time to create the "Stack the deck" binding.....cut these pieces measuring </div>
<div align="left">
6 x 2 3/4"....6 x 2 1/4".....6 x 1 3/4"</div>
<div align="left">
score all three on both long sides at 3/4" to look like below </div>
<br>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">

<div>
<br></div>
<div align="left">
using your score tape completely cover the outside middle section of all three and attach to each other by stacking to look like this....there is a 1/4" gap on both sides of each piece!</div>
</div>
<div>
<br></div>
</div>
<br>
<div>
<img border="0" height="299" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dcoEOJwcUGM/WrIInrKIhZI/AAAAAAAAE-M/rlHgXDNTkgo7-GZDWBT2tq7l8YqbWNNnQCHMYCw/s400/blogger-image-549778754.jpg" width="400"></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Next you need to line this up and attach to your spine section on the cover piece....ANOTHER TIP is to cover score tape with wet glue to give you some wiggle room to get things straight....</div>
<div>
Congratulations your cover and binding system are complete!</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Now onto the pages construction.....you will need to cut </div>
<div>
For pages 2 at 6" x 5" and 4 at 6" x 6"</div>
<div>
For page flaps 2 at 6" x 4 1/4" and 4 at 6' x 5"</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<div>
<img border="0" height="299" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ezSeFI226bk/WrIIt2JJcjI/AAAAAAAAE-Y/y1nXpZ2yDqQlAC_oFoW4xICgpYbTT66bACHMYCw/s400/blogger-image-1709638912.jpg" width="400"></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
You can take the 2 6" x 5" pieces and attach them to first and last binding sections using any type of glue you like to use....then the last four pieces measuring 6" x 6" attach to the remaining centre binding sections... remember to leave a smidge by binding hinge or your pages wont move freely....</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<img border="0" height="239" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0FxpGE8CbT0/WrIIYqJ8bjI/AAAAAAAAE90/GL_dGzSVn0IgGwIiQV9kEGigFssWxp9egCHMYCw/s320/blogger-image-1874540051.jpg" width="320"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GgJPmb7u97s/WrIIPR_tyqI/AAAAAAAAE9o/TrP_rsVMZLseDKHXFGLEpjepdT4btBpdQCHMYCw/s320/blogger-image-541923210.jpg" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" width="320"></div>
<div>
<b><br></b></div>
<div>
For the fold out sections I have used a decorative die to give them a pretty edge then on the straight edge score at 1/2" </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
you are still with me :)</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Next attach the two smaller sections to the two small pages using score tape or wet glue on that 1/2" section....then the four other sections to the four pages in the same way.....</div>

Now to move onto adding the pretty papers and embellishments.......</div>
<div>
Just a wee tip, I only have the 8" x 8" paper pads so you can still create a gorgeous album using just them!</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Select the papers you want to use to cover your pages and cut</div>
<div>
4 at 5 3/4" x 4 3/3" and 8 at 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" ....if you have used a decorative edge make sure you match it up on the fold out pieces </div>

Work your way through adding the papers to each page.....Next lets create two pockets to add to the front and back inside of the covers to hold the pretty extras like photo mats or journaling cutouts </div>
<div>
Cut two at 6 1/4" x 3" from same coloured cardstock and add a decorative edge if you like....</div>

<div>
and welcome back to my happy place</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today I have been busy creating a special mini album that I can't show yet </div>
<div>
so I thought some previous projects to share with you would be a great idea!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TIkG94qYTYs/Wq3_1g-nmyI/AAAAAAAAE8o/rkye9qPktlQz5vl7ENGnNrN2yHixuDEyQCHMYCw/s640/blogger-image--772107357.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="299" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TIkG94qYTYs/Wq3_1g-nmyI/AAAAAAAAE8o/rkye9qPktlQz5vl7ENGnNrN2yHixuDEyQCHMYCw/s400/blogger-image--772107357.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
As anyone who knows me knows I just love vintage inspired projects......</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A quick tutorial for you......once you have chosen what type of paper bag you would like to alter</div>
<div>
Start my laying down some cheese cloth ( I have tea stained mine ) </div>
<div>
Then place your picture where you would like it to be....I added mine central and up a little so I could add more trims at the bottom....</div>
<div>
Next add trims and lace to surround and frame the picture....</div>
<div>
Working your way outwards......I had the edge of a doily I dyed vintage brown so I added that on top of the cheese cloth ....</div>
<div>
Next add your trims on the corners to finish off....the flowers I used were cut from a vintage doily </div>
<div>
Finally I added a dangle charm to the handle!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
TIP! If you want to age your laces and trims ......make a strong mug of tea, let it cool then add your items.....the longer you leave the stronger the colour ....squeeze out excess liquid then heat dry items</div>
<div>
Remember you can't use on items to be washed </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br />
<div>
Wow life has been so full on the last year with classes going so well and the added challenge with surgery.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One thing that stays the same is my love of creating beautiful projects </div>
<div>
Today I'm sharing with you this mixed media canvas created using stencils, texture paste, crackle,chipboard, some pieces I made, flat back pearls, microbeads.....sounds like lots of product! </div>
<div>
Ok so next a couple of layers of gesso when dry I used mica powders spritzed with water to add some </div>
<div>
Colour to the piece </div>
<div>
A touch of pink to add dimension and white gesso to highlight </div>
<div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This weeks project to share with you (found a similar idea on pinterest).....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ueW7EjLQvLM/VuDcOMmuEvI/AAAAAAAAEug/4L7ZnmQKTAs/s1600/IMG_0217.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ueW7EjLQvLM/VuDcOMmuEvI/AAAAAAAAEug/4L7ZnmQKTAs/s320/IMG_0217.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First I cut out 3 tags...one in craft card, one in peach card and one using Graphic45 Gilded Lily....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then I glued the peach onto the craft card!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I stressed up the edges on final tag and rectangle measuring 5 1/2cm x 3 1/2cm from same G45 collection to match everything up and just because I loveeee these designs! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
glue these into place using main photo as a guide...</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mTKjJZWmuNo/VuDcW_RfPPI/AAAAAAAAEuo/RImviCcNgps/s1600/IMG_0192.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mTKjJZWmuNo/VuDcW_RfPPI/AAAAAAAAEuo/RImviCcNgps/s320/IMG_0192.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Frey up a small piece of gauze or muslin to age it and glue this down into place....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center">
cut out four small hearts and stitch down the centre</div>
<div align="center">
then adhere and fold up to give dimension!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IMyML7pK-DM/VuDcP31F_5I/AAAAAAAAEvI/45esRbHCOnM/s1600/IMG_0222.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IMyML7pK-DM/VuDcP31F_5I/AAAAAAAAEvI/45esRbHCOnM/s320/IMG_0222.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>
<br />
<div align="center">
Using seam binding or ribbon make a lovely bow (I used my glue gun for this)</div>
<div align="center">
glue on and add a pretty embellishment to finish off!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nwQOT18srpk/VuDcp6gLTqI/AAAAAAAAEvQ/6rnHKRFD4i0/s1600/IMG_0219.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nwQOT18srpk/VuDcp6gLTqI/AAAAAAAAEvQ/6rnHKRFD4i0/s320/IMG_0219.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>
<br />
<div align="center">
Layer on some matching peach lace and a pretty dangle lace...</div>

Hi everyone and welcome back to my happy place</div>

<div align="center">
Gosh hasn't the year gone really fast! so much happening for all of us and Christmas just around the corner.........</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Kylie and I have been so busy with markets </div>
<div align="center">
and classes about to start.....so exciting!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I wanted to share with you all one of the lovely journals I created using a paper collection called "Sweet Delight"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oKh8A-Ydt1c/VjPvw3kDIXI/AAAAAAAAEqY/9b9saQPaDc4/s1600/12108947_10206734176931322_57997565808123473_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oKh8A-Ydt1c/VjPvw3kDIXI/AAAAAAAAEqY/9b9saQPaDc4/s320/12108947_10206734176931322_57997565808123473_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Firstly I sort all the gorjuss pages to see which ones id like in each signature, </div>
<div align="center">
then cut to size with some plain papers.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Once the cover is ready I cover with the same collection,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some sticky canvas on the spine. then stitch in the signatures!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to leave the threads long so I can knot them and add a charm!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a play with resin a few weeks ago so I added one of the pearl butterflies to the cover for some interest! </div>

Hi everyone and welcome back to my Happy Place!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
This months Design Team Project for Tsunami Rose Designs</div>
<div align="center">
is a fun project using the new Pocket Letter collection</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
As always a very easy process to purchase, download and print out your requirements.....</div>
<div align="center">
I love working with Daisy's Designs!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Once I had selected which pieces to work with I set about trimming the corners and inking edges for the aged look that I love so much!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br>
<div align="center">
I have also used a cog stencil and inked with Vintage photo for a shadow effect!</div>
<div align="center">
Then using cog die cuts and chipboard I have embossed with a mix of gold and copper!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br>
<div align="center">
Im loving the effects of vellum so I die cut a few small cogs and added to the pocket letter as well!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
There are Alphabets in this collection so I cut out and inked my words!</div>

Hi everyone </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
welcome back to my "Happy Place"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a Design Team project for the month of July</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have chosen to use the "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/nz/listing/123671801/85x11-vintage-digital-printable?ref=shop_home_active_5" target="_blank">Ephemeral Love Affair</a>" collection from Tsunami Rose Designs!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing to do with these gorjuss collections is print them onto your chosen paper or card......which is easy peasy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This collection is just beautiful!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Eaq1Zl0Xo4w/VZ3ZJBh3ZXI/AAAAAAAAEiM/dXGp-Vvve1E/s1600/IMG_0279.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Eaq1Zl0Xo4w/VZ3ZJBh3ZXI/AAAAAAAAEiM/dXGp-Vvve1E/s320/IMG_0279.JPG" width="239"></a></div>
<br>
<div align="center">
After printing out my selection of pages I set to cutting to fit my pocket letter then using Tim Holtz Di stress ink I added some interest to the edges and also on some little pieces of chipboard scraps to make some matching embellishments.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JUDlvYE1pYg/VZ3ZdDkKXPI/AAAAAAAAEi4/g_PQKSSiOCY/s1600/IMG_0285.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JUDlvYE1pYg/VZ3ZdDkKXPI/AAAAAAAAEi4/g_PQKSSiOCY/s320/IMG_0285.JPG" width="239"></a></div>
<br>
<br>
<div align="center">
I had been playing with embossing powder and resin so I thought this would be a lovely addition on my pocket letter to my friend!</div>
<div align="center">
I also cut out a sentiment from another collection, tore and inked the edges.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qddWijefa4g/VZ3ZWH6jFtI/AAAAAAAAEiw/ZxdATFaDdpo/s1600/IMG_0283.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qddWijefa4g/VZ3ZWH6jFtI/AAAAAAAAEiw/ZxdATFaDdpo/s320/IMG_0283.JPG" width="239"></a></div>
<br>
<div align="center">
Then using laces, metal, embossed chipboard, flatback pearls, resin, and my little chipboard pieces .....decorated each pocket!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T3ix-8R50OQ/VZ3ZSobjjXI/AAAAAAAAEio/GghhJxqjP4E/s1600/IMG_0282.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T3ix-8R50OQ/VZ3ZSobjjXI/AAAAAAAAEio/GghhJxqjP4E/s320/IMG_0282.JPG" width="239"></a></div>
<br>
<br>
<div align="center">
Finishing off with some matching seam binding for a dangle</div>
<div align="center">
and filled each pocket with goodies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
