POTD - Scrapbooking

I went to CK Buffalo in June of 2006 and took quite a few classes. Needless to say not one of these projects has been completed. I will finish them eventually but like I stated before I haven't been scrapping at all.

So here's a few of the projects I made. This first one is a canvas accordian album. These photos do not do justice for this album. It all canvas texture and this was the first time I used the catseye chalks and I really liked them a lot. So pretty and love the pinks and browns together too.

This is the album opened up. The top and bottom of the book is canvas and the rest is all patterned paper. Eventually I'll pick out my photos and get it done.
This was one of my favorite classes to take. It's a board book. You glue the paper on the page and then cut it with an exacto around the whole page. Then you sand off the edges. You repeat that step until the pages are covered. Then we used book binder tape for the binder, you could also use that medical tape and paint it.
I was prepared photo wise for this class and had brought my photos to use and got them in the book but no journalling. Another I'll have to get done! I really liked this idea. This book was completely white. I couldn't find these anywhere at the convention. So when I got home I made a trip to the dollar store and bought a bunch of the kids board books. I painted next to the binders on each page with white paint and it was just as good! Made my mom one about the 4 grandchildren and she loved it.

This was my only make n' take I did. It's a tag brag book. Very cute and easy to make. I can't remember the exact technique but I remember we used a flat iron, wax paper to get the rubber stamp inked into that angel hair stuff and it adhered it to the album. Sorry it was more than a year ago and I can't remember the exact technique. I do remember buying the angel hair stuff for my pages to use as snow, etc. it's really pretty stuff.

This was the Junk It Up class I took which was taught by Erin Lincoln. Got my picture taken with her. She's pretty funny. We used all kinds of elements. Adirondack ink on Heidi Swapp ghost shapes, paint, texture paste, ribbon, etc. Very messy class but pretty cool.
