Sneak peek of my upcoming Artisan Style photo album

Hi everyone :-)

It has been a while since I posted a project so I thought I would share what I am working on.
This is going to be a large photo album with a lot of space for photos and journaling inside hidden pockets and flaps.I am using the beautiful new Artisan Style from Graphic 45 for this album.
Have now binding the pages together and now for the fun decorating fun :-)

Had to wait so long for this beautiful Artisan Style paper collection from Graphic 45 so I started right away to fussy cut out the images. Here you see the flowers from Natural Beauty sheet and there are so many fun ways to put this beautiful flowers together :-)

Peek of the photo album in progress

This is going to be a large one and having so fun decorating it. Not finish yet as you can see:-)

Dies on this pictures are from Tattered lace, Tim Holtz and Cheery Lynn.

I often get questions on how long time it takes to fussy cut out images and this time I know because I sat a week cutting the images out because I wanted to have them fast finish so I could start creating my album.Usual I fussy cut in the evenings but i could not wait lol. Here are some of them :-)

So many beautiful flowers in this paper line :-)

When I cut out I try to have a tray near by so I don`t get paper all over the floor lol.

There was so many beautiful colors and I thought that it could be used for something so I filled the tray with some water and let it soak into the paper pieces.

Then I layered it out on a craft mat and used multi matte medium all over.

It became a new thick fun paper :-)

No idea what I am going to use it for lol but it came out pretty cool and can maybe be used for a roof or flower garden. 

It has been some beautiful sunny days here in Norway now so I have spent some days in my garden now but hope to get the album finish soon :-)

Graphic 45 Home Sweet Home Spice Shelf with a recipe Mini Album inside

Hi everyone :-)
Have made a Spice Rack with a recipe 5x5 Mini Album inside using the gorgeous Home Sweet Home Paper collection from Graphic 45. This was so fun to make and there will be a tutorial for the pages inside the album and a blog tutorial for the base of the spice rack. It can be used as a space rack or as a configuration box.The base is made out of the 8x8 matchbook box also from G45.


Video

Hanging on the wall with kitchen tools.

Video of the spice rack and mini album

Here you can see it just plain without any decor.

The space rack measure 13 inh hay and 15 1/2 inch wide.

Here the album is taken out.
Have 5 magnets on the back of the album so it will stay in place inside.

Lot of room for recipes and photos in the album.


I filmed the 4. page when I made it so there will be a tutorial for the page base,
 making tags and how to decorate it


Love the colors in this paper line :-)



The album fits perfect inside the space in the middle of the box.


Also made a drawer that can be used for spices.

So fun making tiny decor with the papers :-)

Most of the bottles are from Tim Holtz and I glued labels cut out from the papers and backed them with black cardstok. Used glossy accent and it holds really good on glass.

The iron I found on Ebay and it is a pencil sharpener Painted it black and went over with brown  Inka Gold.

Also found the pencil sharpener coffee grinder on Ebay and most of the wooden miniatures are from Panduro Hobby.

Made this for a good friend that has a cabin. She likes clean and simple so I made all the decor loose so they can be taken out if she like to :-)

Decorated some spice boxes I found in my food store.


Plain with the album.


Made some paper inserts for the shelves so they can be taken out with the decor attach on.

So fun making this tiny miniatures and decor :-)

Also layered the vegetables to make them pop up in 3D.

Used Fiskars edge punch for the box decor.

Also made some tiny books with pages inside for some notes :-)
They are from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inch hay and closes with a belly band that can be taken off.

Have 2 hooks on the backside for hanging but just took some twine to hang it up with for the pictures so I only could use one nail lol

And one more close up picture :-)

Hope you enjoyed this looong blog post :-)
