Find Joy mini album by LORI WOODS

Find Joy mini album by LORI WOODS

Hello Mad Scrappers! Now that the sun has finally started to peek out from behind the clouds and it's getting a little warmer, everything feels a bit more cheerful. I'm not normally one for florals but when I saw the new Simple Stories collection and the bright, happy flowers, I knew they'd be perfect for a little mini album full of joyful, positive quotes and sentiments.
I used the 4X6 Sn@p flipbook and started with some paint splashes of watered down Lime green acrylic paint for a little background colour on the cover. I then layered a chipboard frame, die cuts and flowers to create the front cover decoration. I added a dab of Golden dragon effect paste here and there to create a little sparkle and finished off by wrapping a ribbon around the black binding of the cover.
For the pages, I cut pieces of the papers to size and placed these into the plastic pockets. I added the page decorations on the outside of the pockets so that they wouldn't become too bulky and so I could easily swap out the notes and quotes I'd be putting in the pockets. I cut the chipboard frames to the right size for the pockets and used Finnabair 3D gel to glue these and the diecuts on for decoration.
This is a really quick and simple little mini album but I wanted the focus to be on those lovely bright flowers and the sentiments that I'll fill the book with over the year.
Supplies used:
Simple Vintage Cottage Fields collection - 4x6 snap flipbook, chipboard frames, diecuts and papers
Blue Fern Studio flowers- the ones I used are sold out now but these glitter roses would work great too
Finnabair Effect paste - Golden dragon
Additional supplies: ribbon
