1st Vertical Paper Bag Album

Good Morning Everyone!

Well, it's still morning here in New Hampshire USA.

I've had this video walk-through of my 1st completed vertical paper bag album sitting in my "To-Do" list for a while. So I finally edited it and uploaded it to YouTube. 

I used a tutorial from My Sister's Scraper to create the basic foundation for my album. I used papers from the 2013 Autumn with Foil Collection from Die Cuts with a View to decorate and embellish my pages. 

I loved how it turned out. I used the scraps from this project to create an Explosion Box to match.

Thanks for stopping by! Please leave a comment or a question if you have one.

Trace Adkins and Martina McBride Concert 2010 Book

In March of 2012, I was able to go to the Trace Adkins and Martina McBride concert at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester. I purchased the tickets for my mom, Crystal, and I online. Then counted down the days.

The concert was amazing! I was able to get some beautiful professional quality pictures. However, the pictures sat in a box until this week. Finally I was able to place in motion the ideas for a mini book that were wondering around my head.

I used paper from Rusty Pickle and the Paper Element to create the final book. Here are pictures of the book as of today.

I used some of Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink on some of the pages for Trace Adkins. 

I used some of Tim Holtz Tattered Rose Distress Ink on pages for Martina McBride. 

I used brads and other accents to fill in large spaces. 

Each of the pages has the chorus from one of the songs each artist sang.

I kept the pages simple and left room for journaling...I think this may be a present for my mom this Christmas.
