Once Upon A Springtime.....

I think one of my favorite things is to create albums, it is easy to do when you have the right products. For this Once upon A Springtime Album I used Graphic 45 for my creative pattern paper, they have the best patterns. I used Spellbinders™ S4-328 Foliage die template as the leaves are so detailed when you cut, emboss and use the as a stencil. For the bling detail around the fairies wings and centers of the flowers I used Want2Scrap™ bling, the wing album is also from Want2Scrap™, they have the most amazing chipboard albums.

To adhere my pattern paper to the chipboard album I used Beacon Adhesive Zip Dry, it is fast drying and easy to clean up.

 Each page of the album has so many details, from single rhinestones to cut out embellishments.

Using Want2Scrap™ bling is easy as the large pieces come off in one single piece for easy application.

For this page I took Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Glue and brushed it on the page with a paint brush to make it shimmer, adds just the right amount of glimmer.

When I am creating these albums I like to cut multiples of the same character and layer them to add dimension, like have done to the rabbits.

I sanded the edges of each wing page and added Clearsnaps Chestnut Road Fluid Chalk to give the album that worn look.

Adding just the right amount of Black Swirls keeps your eyes moving from one detail to the next. I just love how easily the pages flow.

Using as many scraps as possible, I created and aged strip just under the main focal point on the page, it is easy to crumble a strip several times and run an ink pad across it to capture the high and low spots with ink.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you are inspired to create your own Once upon A Springtime Album. Crafty Smiles...Terre
