August Album using Live Beautifully paper

I have designed 10 - 2 page layouts with 1 6x12 flip flap and 1 - 1/2 page protector.  I used the 16 pages from the Live Beautifully paper and added 4 sets of base pages: sea glass, bashful, black and daisy white.  There are 5 layouts twice.

Layout 1

Layout 2

This layout uses a 6x12 flip flap. If you look, the first photo looks complete before the surprise opens up to more room for photos. 

Layout 3
Uses 1/2 page protector.  This one is for 3 - 4x6 photos.  This allows you to have more photos and not add more pages.

Layout 5

These layouts incorporate different uses of embossing powder.  You can use solid stamps and pigment ink with clear embossing powder or Veramark clear ink and use silver, gold and white.  If you do white powder on white paper you can do a wonderful watercolor wash.  

In these layouts I have also used glitter paper with our thin cuts and used the new banner and flag thin cuts as well as flower thin cuts and regular stamps/thin cuts.  

The following pages are the second set of pages using the same designs with changes.

Thin cut challenges keep coming!

Remember at the beginning of July when I posted the 3 cards?  I tried to see if just using cardstock would work.  I would have random stamped them but once glued, its a little too late.  Thin Cuts to the rescue.  I added some thin cuts to those same cards and like them a lot better.  I used our ShinHan alcohol markers because the design was so intricate.  I used the clear and gold Shimmer Brush to the Thin cuts for extra glitter.  It works in person better than photos.

I am still on the way of getting the 125 Thank You cards for the September wedding.  Here were some more cards that I made with the Thin Cuts for an upcoming class and thank yous.

I used Shimmer Brush on these cards too for extra pizazz.  What are you doing?  Make some cards and pages and get posting!

Close To My Heart Thin Cuts

The July Challenge is using Thin Cuts.  The bottom card is a variation on what I last posted.  The other 2 are variations from the Workshop You Way from previous catalogs.  

This month I am doing a card class at the Portage Library using water color.  These cards are Thin Cuts stamped in Archival Ink so that the water color can be used.  I am stamping the think cuts before I get there as we only have 1 1/2 hours to work.  They will still have choices in how they design their card. 

Let me see your use of Thin Cuts!
