Celebrating beach memories with foil accents

 This year I am loving working in my project life album and I am loving making a statement with favourite photos that are enlarged. I wanted to share one of my newest spreads with you, and not only does it have statement photo but I added some bling with my newest favourite foil- the Pool Minc foil from Heidi Swapp.

I love how it shimmers and shines and gives the illusion of water, which connected perfectly with my beach photo.

In my pocket pages I added pattern papers and ephemera from the Old School collection. the tropical vibes were the perfect way to embellish my page.

I added the stickers and ephemera directly onto my photos to create a cohesive feel.

For my foiled over lay, I used one of the Digi words from Heidi's site, enlarged it printed it off on my laser printer onto a transparency. I then ran it through my Minc machine with some of the Pool foil. What a spectacular effect it creates.

I cannot wait to use it on more of my Summer projects!

April Fools with my Mini Lightbox

Ahh the first of April and you know what that means! April Fools!

I'm here to share some advice with you!

Believe Nothing!

Trust No One!

I have my Heidi Swapp Mini Lightbox all set up for the day so when my boys come down ready to go to school they know what is in store for them for the day!

I used the black mini letters from the Mini Teal Lightbox alpha set and the Mini icons to create my phrase!

I love the way it looks, I think I might keep it up all April!

You can find the Mini Lightbox and accessories here at Heidi Swapp dot com!

Art Walk meets Cinque Terre

I  am still enjoying  working on my travel album, even though we travelled through Europe almost 18 months ago. Each time I look through my photos the memories come flooding back so I continue to capture them in my album. I have loved using the Heidi Swapp Art Walk collection for so many of my European stories, the vintage vibe just complements my photos beautifully. Today I want to share a spread about our last night in Cinque Terre.

I began with that enlarged photo on the left which I printed at 9 x 12. In the pockets I added pattern paper from the Art Walk paper pad, the patterns and colours where chosen to coordinate with my photos.

I used some of the definition stickers and letter stickers from the Art Walk paper pad to embellish my large photo. I simply adhered them straight onto my photo. 

I added more definition stickers onto my photos as well as a tag I made from white  cardstock. I used the Art Walk leaf dies and some vellum and gold glitter cardstock to layer under my tag.

I also used more of the yellow letter stickers from the Art Walk paper pad to complete the pockets. 

Slowly but surely my travel album is coming together. Using the Art Walk collection has been a favourite way to tell my travel stories. Find the Art Walk collection at JoAnn stores now!

                                                                       

Lucky me + a free St Patricks Day printable

Sharing the luck of the Irish today with the perfect Heidi Swapp foil, and I think my favourite -  Rainbow Foil. I wanted to celebrate how lucky I am in my Wellness Planner for March so I thought why not go all the way with this stunning foiled transparency.  I have combined my Storyline Chapters planner and this foiled printable to create my pages.

On the left I printed off my photo at 7.5 x 9 inches and adhered it to the page. 

I printed the Lucky Me printable onto a transparency using my laser printer and then ran it through my Minc Machine with the Rainbow foil.

On the right page I added a central photo then built my design in and around. I added stamps from the Color Fresh collection and ephemera from the Storyline Chapters collection to complete my page.

I love layering stickers over other stickers to create a cohesive effect to my pages.
