Tea Party by Ginger

Tea Party Mini Album

I designed this mini album for The Crafty Scrapper.  They are needing this to take to the convention in Arlington the first of June.  I really enjoyed making this.  I used photos from my daughter-in-laws baby shower.  We had it at the country club and we served tea and goodies.

This album was difficult due to the sizing of the paper to fit and cut out.  I then inked the sides to give it a more detailed look.  I then added all the goodies that was given to me plus many items from my stash at home.

Items Used:

Girls Paperie - Mixed Sources, Jubilee, and Vintage Whimsey

Star Dust Stickles

Martha Stewart - Luster Glass Microbeads- Kunzite

Chestnut Roan Ink

K & Company Die Cuts

Prima Flowers - various kinds

Maya Roads - Cloth banner

Tatered Angels Mist - Pink

Viva Pearl Pen

Thank you so much for looking!

Hugs - Ginger

By The Sea

By The Sea

I was given this project from The Crafty Scrapperwww.thecraftyscrapper.com.  This little photo is me in 1952.  It was my first visit to Galveston.  I used many elements in this layout.  I used Girl Paperie and Creative Imagination papers.  I also used Maya Roads Tiny Bangle Chipboards for the words By The Sea.  I used alot of stickling on this project...Star Dust.  I used Prima Flowers, Dabbers for the chipboard (Cough Syrup, Aqua, and Lettuce).   I used Martha Stewart circle cutter, and Basic Grey files which I then inked with Chestnut Roan.  

Items Used:

Girl Paperie Paper
Creative Imagination Paper
Chestnut Roan Ink
Dabbers - Cough Syrup, Lettuce, Aqua
Viva Pearl Pen
Prima Flowers
Martha Stewart Circle Cutter
Star Dust Stickles

Thank you for taking a peek!
