I love to make stuff. Seriously. I. Love. To. Make. Stuff. I am not even really particular about what I make, it is more the process of the making. Well except double page layouts...I really don't love making those. I know...I just heard the giant collective gasp from many of my paper and paste loving friends.
So why the reminder of Vicki's love of the making? Well, I finished a project with one of Pink Paislee's new CHA summer releases. I was given the assignment of creating a mini book with the new PORTFOLIO line. I LOVE this line! I also got to play with the new Artisan deliciousness, but I will get to that in a bit. Back to Portfolio...here is a peek....
Isn't it oh so pretty? I was giddy to make something with it and I told Rebecca that as soon as I saw the first sneek peak!! So to get to the point...I made a mini book!!! Look at it...
This baby comes chevron embossed!!! I misted it, rubbed it with Viva Decor's Inka Gold in Platinum and Gold and then painted it with a Ranger Paint Dabber in Pebble. The little yellow splats are melted crayon. Here is a closer look...
The "moments" Artisan word was colored with Ranger Distress Markers and I sealed it with Glossy Accents.
Here are a few interior pages...
The photos are layered and flip up.
Pockets!!!
I used a DecoArts stencil and Scattered Straw Distress ink for the background on the left page.
Another great Ranger Paint Dabber for this is the Jenni Bowlin Weather Vane shade!!! I used it around the Photograms.
My fav page!!!
So there you have it. I made it. Stayed up 3 nights until 3am-ish...because...I love to make stuff...I guess more than I enjoy sleep. if you love to make stuff, I think you will love the new releases from Pink Paislee!! I am totally going to start harassing you all into making minibooks. I LOVE the uniqueness and quirkiness of the minibook. You can bulk them out, make them interactive and it is a project that you can finish rather quickly...but I am going to go into the need to MAKE minis in another post to come.
To recap...Ranger products: Scattered Straw Distress Ink and marker, Paint Dabbers- Pebble and Jenni Bowlin- Weather Vane. Viva Decor- InkaGold- Platinum and Gold.
ok friends...I need to get cleaned up and take a break before I get back to making stuff!!! LEt me know what you think and please let me know what other sneak peeks you are diggin'!!!
It's me again! I wanted add this now that the cat's out of the bag!!! I used this on the cover, too...
COLORSHINE!!!!!
I used the silver one called Tinsel on the cover of the album and I have to say...you will want them all. I love mistable paints and inks and I have all of them! This new Color Shine has a LOT of mica-ish glimmer. Fabulous!!! You will want them if you like a product that is a bottle of POSSIBILITIES!!!
