Fun In The Sun

Hi Everyone,

I haven't made a "Designer Purse Album" in ages, but when I saw this week's colors at Color Throwdown, I knew I had to make a summer album. I used to make these purse albums all the time to sell on Ebay. I sold scrapbook layouts and albums for years, but I got tired of the frantic craziness of the Ebay "life" so I stopped. Now I only create for myself and my family and friends.

Anyhow, as I said, I haven't made one of these beauties in a long time so I made a template that reminds me of a beach bag, cut chipboard pages and dived right into selecting papers and embellishments.

I made this album for my neice in Florida. I do all her scrapping and she appreciates it so much, so I love to create for her. We are going to visit them next week and I will give this to her when I arrive. I put my great nephew, Shane on the cover, but the rest is blank so we can add pics that we take together while we are there.



I used this week's sketch from Mojo Monday for the cover.





I will post the rest of the pages tomorrow.

Have a great one,
Marcy

Photo Carousel

I finally finished the photo carousel for my niece and nephew, Kelly and Greg. It took me about 1 month to complete it. Of course, I didn't work exclusively on this project, but it was top of mind and always out on the tables in my scrap room.

Greg, Kelly and their beautiful son Shane, live in Florida, so I miss out on a lot of good times.

Greg uploads photos to various sights and I get to enjoy their adventures almost immediately after the action. Then I choose the ones I like, print them and turn them into scrapbook pages for Kelly's albums.

The carousel is from 7 Gypsies. I bought it on Ebay. I also bought the ATC punch so that I could add some pages without the slip covers. This "album" has about 65 pages. Tonight, I will upload some and add more tomorrow.
