B-Day Bash Mini Album

Hi everyone, it's Sam here, squeezing in with a last post before 2011! I just wanted to share this mini album I made using one of my favourite Imaginisce ranges - B-Day Bash...


See, I loved this range so much, that I even pinched the name of it to use as the title of my album! One of my absolute favourite things about this range was those cute little Paper Ribbon banners that I've used on the front page here. And of course I had to make a brad using the I-Top! Well, actually, it's not a brad...because it's a wooden album, and I had already attached all the papers, there was no way I was getting a brad to go through it, so I used a Magnet Daddie instead. They have a nice flat back, so all I had to do was use a bit of double sided tape to stick it down.


Another embellishment that I loved from this range were the Springing Stickers. They are such a fun little surprise to find when opening up the album, and definately a hit every time the kids have a look through it...


And here's a look at the whole album...




Now, if you'd like to head over to my blog, I have a little prize up for grabs, of a few of those favourite things that I mentioned. Click HERE to check it out.

Well, I hope you all enjoy what's left of 2010, and have a fabulous and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Garden Party, Two-Pager and a Sketch

Aren't the new Imaginisce Garden Party papers beautiful?  The floral design and colors are such a pretty combination and perfect for the little girls in your life.  I thought these photos of my daughter playing golf in our backyard were a great match for the Garden Party collection.

Aren't these Florish Title Die Cuts 'adorable'?  All it needed was a little bit of ink, a ribbon accent, some chipboard to embellish and a few pop dots for dimension.  It's a wonderful embellishment to tie together the photos and break up the linear design.

The Daisy Chain Ribbons included with this collection are absolutely gorgeous.  I love the pattern on this one and what a great contrast it is with the many floral patterns in the paper and embellishments.  I also grabbed my Martha Stewart Pansy punch to create this complimentary border.  Don't you just love it when the stars align and your older tools match up with brand new products???  I would say this was a match made in heaven....

The Johnny Jump-Ups Sticker Stackers are a definite must for adding sentiments and dimension to a page.  I backed this one with a little brown cardstock to give it a bit more definition.  Then I used my trusty i-rock to add these teeny tiny Hot Rocks to the flower centers for a little extra special attention to detail. 

It wouldn't be the season of giving, if I didn't include a sketch to play with.  Please enjoy and hope to see some two-pagers out there using Imaginisce products.  Please drop me a line at my BLOG if you use the sketch so I can pop over and admire your work.

Thank you for stopping by - Liz
