Clear Scraps Project Post

Hi friends! It's Jennifer here on the blog to share a mini album I  created using the Chipboard 8×8 3-Tabbed Album!  We took a short trip to Michigan last month so I  wanted to document some of my favorite photos! Clear Scraps has a variety of styles and sizes of mini albums to choose from!  One of the many reasons why I  love creating with them!  

I  began by painting the edges on both sides of each page with white acrylic paint. I  allowed a bit of the chipboard to show through to give a distressed look to go with the patterned paper.  I  then cut my background papers to 7.75 x 7.75 inches and adhered with my Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive. 

Each page is large enough to fit standard size 4×6 photos (both vertical and horizontal).  I  tried to mix my sizes up by adding a few 4×4 pictures as well. I  love the clean look of matting my photos onto white cardstock so you will find this throughout my book.  

I  tried to utilize at least two different patterns on each page as well as adding in an accent color. Here, you can see I  adhered a strip of the light blue pattern at the right edge of my page. 

I  also added embellishments from the collection I  used such as stickers and chipboard shapes.  

Thank you for stopping by the blog today! I   hope you are inspired to create a mini book of your own using a Clear Scraps Album!  You can see all the albums by clicking HERE! Have a great day!
