Clear Scraps Project Post

Hi friends!  It's Jennifer here on the blog to share a spring time project with you!  I love the colors of this time of year and even more creating projects that incorporate spring themes!  For today's post, I used the Flower DIY Wood Shapes to create a mini album and am going to share the techniques I used! 

All of the DIY Wood Shapes come in a pack of three so you can use one solo shape or do as I  did, and create a mini album or even a banner! I painted the edges of both sides with chalk paint in patina; a nice blue spring color!  I love using chalk paint with the birch wood because it dries quickly as well as gives it a classy look. 

Next, using my Silhouette I  cut 6 inch circles out of patterned paper to fit the pages of my book.  I applied each background piece using my Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive as it dries fast and you won't have to worry about paper or wood warping in the future.  I then secured the 4×6 Butterfly Flock Stencil to the front with washi tape then blended in different Distress Inks over the top. 

Here is a close up of the end result!  I  love the way it turned out!  

For the remainder of my pages, I  added a 6 inch patterned paper circle with a 4×4 space for a future photo. 

For this page, I used the 4×6 Quaterfoil Stencil with my Distress Oxide inks over my patterned paper.
