No Waste - Make a Book by Tracey Thorne

Ooh its a new month and a new Moodboard - if you get a chance head on over to the Blog and check it out - it is all shades of neon... hence my sidestep this month to continue on with my little LIVE facebook share yesterday as I am not a neon scrapper... I tried ... it looks bad.... so we are going with Fridays project instead.

THIS ONE DID NOT HAPPEN - SORRY 👇

There are always those failed attempt backgrounds on 12x12 cardstock that don't make it to the next stage of creation - I have a small pile. I hate waste and they are waiting for me to turn them into little mini albums, so I have a little pile of unused pages ready to go when I feel the urge to create an album.

Over on the Facebook page I did a little LIVE for the beginning of this album - You can watch the creation, the cover & I have done the first two pages. Over the next few days I hope to finish this little beauty off and hopefully I can throw in a couple more LIVES on the FB share and inspire group for you to watch it come together. Today I have added a couple of more pages here to help inspire you to create your own mini album.

To create the book I have used one sheet of 12x12 cardstock - it was a mess so I completely sprayed it with Izink - sunflower and pushed the colour around with a brush. I then folded the cardstock and cut it before folding and gluing it to create a small mini album.

I have added Tim Holtz stamps and texture paste through Tim Holtz mini stencils to the first two pages as well as a little washi tape from AALL&Create and a metal frame from Rangers Tim Holtz range.

Today's two pages I have created using some stamping onto tissue paper using a Stampers Anonymous stamp- Urban chic & Grunged and an AALL & Create stamp - Steampunk Alchemist.

These two pages I have used a 7Gypsies stamp at the top of the page. The Heart is from the Finnabair Mechanicals and I have accented it with some Vicki Boutin Red water colour crayon. The impromptu journalling was done using Tim Holtz small talk stickers.
