World's Fair Tag Album



Happy Tuesday!

It's Arlene here with another design team project for Graphic 45!

I created this fun little Tag Album featuring Graphic 45's new World's Fair paper collection. This collection is so fun and whimsical, it takes you back to a different era with vintage charm!

I don't have a video to share with you all this time, but let me share some photos of this tag album:



I used the Ornate Metal Label holder as sort of a "pull" to open the album...




I love the Door Knockers! I used one on the spine of my album and hung a few Ornate Metal Keys and jewelry findings on the ring...



The album opens just like so... A Large Tag and some magnets are used to keep the album shut...




All the pages of this album were created using the Staples Large Tags, folded in half. Magnets hold the "pages" shut.







I created photo mats inside each of the tag pages...



























This page flips open for space for photos...



And finally, here is the back of the album cover... I absolutely love all the sayings and verses in this collection. This saying is one of my favorites...


Well, that's all I have for today guys!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to check out the Graphic 45 blog, where Maggie's World's Fair project will be featured as well!

hugs & butterflykisses,

Arlene

Inspiration Wednesday - Metal Embellishments!


Hello friends!

I'm here for another fun Inspiration Wednesday challenge with the La La Land Crafts designers!

This week's theme is:

Metal Embellishments

I created this sweet baby luminaire featuring several of La La Land Crafts dies.

Here are some photos:


For my touch of metal, I added some fun shabby chic zipper pulls and plaques by Prima and a Graphic 45 metal key...


I cut the "windows" out using the Stitched Elements die (links to products below)...


Stay safe and be sure to use a battery operated candle in your luminaire!

Have a fabulous crafty day!

Inspiration Wednesday -- Back to School!


We're going Back to School for this week's Inspiration Wednesday with the La La Land Crafts design team!

I'd like to share a quick, fun project to help keep your kiddos organized this school year. I altered these mason jars for my son's pens, pencils and color pencils. The labels were created using some of the fabulous DIES from Irina's store.

Here are some photos:
