Hi Roadies! It's day four of the Maya Road & Jillibean Craft Swap and it's Julia here to bring you another project. But first, have you checked out the previous few days of inspiration? If you're recovering from yesterday's sugar high, well these sweet projects are just the ticket. I've been so inspired by the jaw-dropping projects and I'm sure you have been as well.
I've been busy working on a mini album combining the gorgeous Maya Road products with a fabulous Jillibean Soup line, "Grandma's Lima Bean Soup" Collection pack. What a perfect combination!
This Time of Your Life mini album was created with the Scroll Edge Chipboard Binder Album. I love how the fancy edges on the cover and edge of the pages make this album unique.
The cover was the perfect place to load up on embellishments and my color scheme is inspired by the Jillibean Soup papers. This line is full of great accents and die cuts for layering with.
I've piled up a plethora of gorgeous Maya Road embellishments and trims on this album as well. You can find many including... Antique Skeleton Key, Jonathan Mini Chipboard Alphabet Set, Vintage Paper Posies, Tomato Red Twine Cording, Denim Vintage Roses, Medium Leaves, Red Resin Blossoms, Yellow Vintage Tape Measure Trim, Lilac Pink Zipper Trim, White Time Flies Kraft Clocks, Hot Pink Flower Pins, Krafty Owls White, Vintage Sequin Blossoms and Black Kraft Large Ticket Strips
Flexible Maya Road trims are great for covering up the spine of the album and adding a fun look.
Using every album surface is a great way to make the most of these small spaces. Here, the front cover is the perfect place to add an additional accent.
While I've created this fun album for my daughter, I actually didn't
finish it. The pages are covered and embellished but I've left lots of
room for her to make this album her own. I'm hoping that she'll fill it
with lots of photos of all the wonderful times she is having away at
school, working on her nursing degree. These are some of the best times of her life and I want her to make the most of them and remember them in this little album.
One of the Jillibean Soup papers cuts up into ATC sized journaling cards. I've punched these cards and added them to the album between the chipboard pages for even more memory space.
Thanks for joining us today for our blog swap! Don't forget that you still have a chance to win our giveaway! Make sure to go read the details on this post.
Gorgeous Work xxx!
