This week I finished up the last of my Kids Summer Memory Keeping classes. We ended the class with more pages for their albums of course, but we also decorated the covers of our Espresso 6" x 8" Project Life Albums.
Here is what the album looks like when you purchase it.
Here is what my album looks like now that I made it cute...
I started by sponging on a background using my Stars Decorative Mask a sponge dauber and Crumb Cake ink.
Then I embellished it with the Let's Get Away Bundle, which includes the Let's Get Away Card collection, Accessory Pack and Stamp Set for a 15% savings!.
I used all three sizes of cards from the Let's Get Away collection (4x6,4x4, and 4x3) on the cover here, layering them together with Green Glue. I also used the Green Glue to adhere the cards to the front of the album.
I stamped the word "Yellowstone" with my Alphabet rotary stamp. I added several embellishments from the Let's Get Away Accessories kit too.
The "hello vacation" piece is actually an acetate specialty card that I clipped on using one of the shaped clips from the kit.
The "you are here" piece is a sticker from the accessories kit, as well as the number stickers I used for 2014.
The cute little camper is one of the images from the coordinating stamp set.
I also used a strip of the washi tape from the accessories kit, the coral piece. The light blue piece is from a retired Project Life kit, Playground, the kit that all the kids in my summer memory keeping class used.
To top it off I tied a piece of Melon Mambo cotton ribbon around the cover and stamped 3 stars from the Let's Get Away stamp set over the top of the stenciled stars in Basic Black ink.
I did not forget about the back of the book...
After adding stars to the back of the book I stamped the "To Live is to Travel" image from the Let's Get Away stamp set on the back with Basic Black ink.
Don't forget about the inside covers of your album, they need something cute too!
I just added one of the stickers, journaled on it with my Project Life pen and hand drew the scallops around the outside of the sticker with the same pen.
Another sticker, which I added alphabet stickers to spell "The End", again I hand drew the scalloped edge and signed my name with the Project Life Journaling Pens.
If you'd like to see some of the pages inside my Yellowstone album you can see them HERE and HERE.
