Mini Albums made easy!

Hello My Crafty Friends! :) 

I am Suchi here with you all! Today I am excited to share my very first Mini Album! I got these wonderful Julie Nutting Paper Dolls pattern papers and paper doll Ephemera die cuts in my DT kit, I had to try them out! :)

Here is my mini album! Hope you all are participating in this month's challenge! I know that making a mini album sounds like too much of work but once you begin, there is no going back. 

Today, I have made some easy peasy , not-so-time-consuming tricks for you to make an album! Hope this helps and inspires you all! :)

Denim Bag using Papericious Pattern Paper

Hello Everyone,

It's Roshni here and today I have a Denim Bag Album to share with you that I made for Challenge #61 - Mini Albums.

I have used  Naturals Paper Pack by Papericious. As soon as I saw the denim papers I wanted to create a bag and after looking at some denim bag images for reference this is what I made :)

The album has a total of 6 pages and the pages measure 6" x 6.5". Every page has a top loading pocket. To embellish the album I have used Papericious adhesive buttons and White and Brown Fabric Tapes.

The album looks like a bag from the outside.

Winner of Challenge #60 - Inspired by Mood Board

Hello everyone and good morning!

This Nikita here to announce the winner of our Mood Board Challenge. We had a fabulous 38 entries this time and going through each one was a treat. Thank you all so much for taking the time out to create something awesome for our challenge. It made our work that much harder but it was worth it and somehow we were all able to reach a unanimous decision and pick a winner. :)

But before that, here are our Top 3 in no particular order:

Challenge #61 | Mini Albums

Hello and Good Morning, friends!

This is Jasleen and I'm here to announce a new challenge for the month of May. But before that, let me take this opportunity to thank all of you who participated in our April Mood Board Challenge. It seems you really enjoyed playing along. All the entries are amazing and we are having a tough time choosing the winners.  Stay tuned, we'll be announcing the winners very soon ! :)

So, the theme for this month's challenge is:

CHALLENGE #61

MINI ALBUMS

Yeah, get those pretty pattern papers out and show us how you rock this theme. ;)
(Read the General Guidelines for the challenges, here.)

The Rules for Challenge #61 are:

1. Album can be any shape (square, rectangle, triangle, alphabet, circular, etc.) or size (4x4, 6,x6, 8x8, 12x12, etc.)

2. The completed project should look like an album/booklet. You can:

   a. Use box files with rings and insert page protectors,

   b. Punch holes in your pages and use album rings,

   c. Bind the pages together using any handmade or machine made binding.

   d. Any other method to put pages together.

BUT loose individual pages will NOT BE CONSIDERED as an album. The final project must look like a booklet.

3. An album needs a minimum of 5 pages (or 4 + cover decoration.)

4. It can be an interactive (with inserts, folds, etc.) album or a plain flip-album.

5. Only pasting pictures and binding pages will NOT BE CONSIDERED. Pages need to be embellished.

6. Photos in the album (if personal) can be blurred. But blank pages stating that photos will be added later, will NOT BE CONSIDERED. However, photo mats with other embellishment(s) will be okay.

7. There's NO SPECIFIC THEME for decoration or colour(s). You can pick whatever you like. :)

The album I made measures 5 by 6 inches in size. I have used the gorgeous Ephemera papers by Papericious for making this one. These papers are just perfect if you like to make romantic , shabby chic styled albums with lot of flowers.

This album has total of 5 pages, and I've added a tag or two or an interactive flip page for adding photos on every page.

Here's the outer cover of my album I made :-

Tacky Glue Review with a layout Tutorial!

Hello Ladies!!

Brace yourself as this is going to be one LONG post!

Are you playing along with us at Lulupu's Challenge #60 - Moodboard

There are projects where you need a super fast glue that will dry quickly and stick strong! Aleene's Tacky Glue is one such glue that will definitely make layers and embellishments adhere firmly! :)

(Disclaimer: My review and opinions are stated here, after I have actually used this wonderful product myself!)

Alright! So, today I am going to give you review about three types of Tacky Glue.
