Video - Guest Design - Vintage Album

Today's "DT Post Card"

Hey everyone!  I was asked to Guest Design over at Stamps & fun = Creativity blog 
challenge.  This week's challenge is a sketch challenge.



My post is up a bit early but the challenge starts Monday July 26!  I used some older GCD Studios pipeline (Paris Nights) that I have had that I bought LOTS of!  I created the base for this vintage album out of one piece of 8 1/2 X 11 card stock.  (I will be doing a video tutorial on this in the future!)


I started matting up the various mats I had cut to fit the album.  I inked them up with Vintage Photo distress ink.  I also like to add an inside pocket for someone to add pictures or other mats into.  Another hidden pocket is in the right side.  There is a full tag pullout.  This could have either a photo on it, or even some journalling adhered to i
t!  Also on black remember you can always write on the back with pencil or white pen!


I added some sewn areas to add some embellishment and interest.  I had some Eiffel Tower images and Paris images and used them on this album by layering them.

I felt like I needed a few more accents so I used some bling, a spinner/compass metal element, and a few other accents.  I also had an old "Paris" stamp set that I have no idea which company it is from, but I stamped a few stamps throughout this album to add more interest.  I love how this album looks and it was fun to make!

I hope you enjoyed this project!  Please check out the other DT members' projects!  Thanks so much for joining me for this Challenge over at Stamps & fun = Creativity!
