Hello Crafty Friends, I want to take a moment to recap this enjoyable project I've been working on for weeks. Before we dive in, I want to share a few new pages! I used two collections throughout the album: Bunny Hop and Hello Again. I love how well these collections complement each other, as this album captures Easter memories and a birthday in the same month.
I created a fun pocket on the front to add some interest to the white background. I used 6 1/8" x 8 1/2" paper from the Bunny Hop collection for the front, and for the pockets, I used the same paper but cut to 7" x 3 1/2". Additionally, I included some light pink cardstock from the coordinating collection. I scored the pockets at 1/2" on three sides, adhered the bottom pocket 1 1/2" to the top pocket, and placed both pockets on my inside cover. These pockets were designed to hold some fun little tags I created earlier, along with her birthday and Easter cards.
I really love adding texture to my pages with paper. I used paper 8461 from Bunny Hop, which features stripes for this one. I cut each stripe to 6 inches and stitched it down the middle using my sewing machine. Then, I lifted the top and bottom of the strips to create layers and texture, leaving the thread a little longer at the ends.
Next, I continued with the same paper on the other side and placed a white mat, stitching all around it with my sewing machine. I added Easter eggs and a doodle pop and used the eggs as part of the title.
Regarding the tag, it opens from right to left. I used light pink paper from the coordinating cardstock, measuring 8" x 7", and scored it at 4" along the longer side. Then, I matted it on a beautiful floral paper and included a shaker tag that I had previously made, featuring the title "Easter.
Here’s the recap with photos : we enjoyed playing with doodle cuts, sprinkles, tags, and much more!
Like always, we can't wait to see your projects created using the new 6" X 8" albums!! Xo, Conny
