HAPPY NEW YEAR CRAFTY FRIENDS!! I'm so excited that we have reached another year especially 2020!! I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday with your family and friends! Of course with that said, we usually start creating for Christmas as early as Oct, sometimes even earlier than this. Anyhow regardless how much I love creating for the Christmas Holiday, I was anxious to get back to a little more variety. This year will be some changes in my craft style, not a crazy change but just doing things that are more challenging for me. Well enough chat about this, I am thrilled to be sharing my changes with all of you of course.
So I love creating projects using the Maggie Holmes collections ! I feel like they all blend so well with one another so in this project, I used papers & embellishments from the Carousel and Flourish collections. As you might know or maybe not know , I love creating albums, folio's, something that you can keep your memories stored forever! So I started with this tag album using these kraft card stock tags that measure 4.25 X 6.50.
This was a very easy project to create. After choosing the papers I would be using, I first adhered all of the tags to the papers using Helmar Tacky Glue. After I did this, I used my We R Memory Keepers Hold Punch & then I added a little bit of Vintage Photo Distress Ink around the edges of my tags.
Once I've done this with all of my tags, I began adhering the calendar cut outs from a 12×12 sheet of the Maggie Holmes Flourish collection as well as the card stock photo mats I cut up.H
I used one of the stamps from the Maggie Holmes collection on the front cover of my tag album " Collect Beautiful Moments". This was the perfect title for it!! I also used another favorite product from Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots on some of the die cuts to add some dimension . I love this look! Lastly I used the Helmar Premium Craft Glue for the rest of the embellishments that weren't stickers.
Here is a short video sharing the tag album in its entirety. I hope that you enjoy it and feel inspired to create your own!! I'll be back next month with another project!
