You can never have too much happy Mini | Celebr8

Hi Everyone Kerrie here with a super cute mini tag booklet that I created by folding just one sheet of patterned paper. This little mini works best with double sided papers but you can still create with single sided. You can add pages if you like too but I have just added tags that I will pop some photos on. This is a great mini whe you want to showcase a small event or just some of your fav photos

I have used the Loving You collection from Celebr8 it is an older collection but your local store may still have some in stock

Happy Creating

Kerrie

ANZAC AT HOME, Mini Album | Little Birdie Crafts

#kerriegurney #littlebirdiecrafts

This year with COVID-19 isolation restrictions in place our ANZAC day dawn services had to be cancelled and so we were called to pay our respects by standing on the end of our driveways at 6am for the service held on the internet and radio stations.
I created 60 watercoloured poppies to decorate our house for the service along with our flag and candles to light up the driveway and we all stood on the driveway, even Cadbury who unfortunately right when the last post was playing decided to chase a cat that wandered around the corner but hey it all added to our unusual service. It was lovely seeing all our neighbours out on their driveways too

I created this little mini file folder album using Little Birdie Crafts Poppies & Roses collection to pop my photos and some images I took from RSL Queensland's site to remember our special ANZAC service.

for those that aren't Australian or a New Zealander ANZAC day is all about remembering our fellow country men and women who have given there lives so we get to live a safe and privlaged life in our countries.

I will add my journaling to the blank spaces on these pages , I tucked the images I took from the internet into the pockets.

I printed the clip art poppies from the internet and watercoloured them

Happy Creating

Kerrie

Life is Beautiful Mini Album | Little Birdie Crafts

Hi everyone Kerrie here with another project for Little Birdie Crafts
I created a mini album using Little Birdie Crafts Sunshine & Lemonade Collection. This collection is so perfect for all your summer and tropical photos
I created this Mini Album for my cousin's granddaughter who recently went on a cruise with her family and celebrated her birthday just before they set sail. I thought this mini album would be perfect for her to pop some of her special cruise photos in.

here is a look inside, I have kept the pages simple so that photos can be added.
I have fussy cut the whole fussy cut sheet and will give the extra pieces to my cousin so they can finish embellishing
I love how these papers all complement each other making this album come together so easily.

I used the pre-punched doilies, journaling cards and fussy cut pieces to embellish my album pages

remember to add the ribbon to the back before adding your patterned paper.

Here is how I coloured the chipboard title

first up i dabbed on Crackle Paste using my finger, I then heat set it

I think sprayed the title using Gold Rush and Lemon Zing Color Splash sprays to give an ombre look to the title

here is a closer look at the crackle effect

I finished off my cover with one of the pre punched doilies layered onto a paper doily and some sisal fibre. Popped on my title and added some handmade paper flowers

Disneyland Memories Documented in a Snap with Simple Stories Say Cheese Collections

#kerriegurney #simplestories #disneyland

Hi Everyone
Today I am sharing some pages from my trip to Disneyland in January 2014, I only had one spare day while in Anaheim for CHA and that was the day I flew home, we didn't fly out until midnight so I had a full day at Disney and was able to fit in both parks. I am not a huge ride person so I didn't have to worry about lining up for rides.
I created a mini album using Simple Stories Snap Binder along with all three of their Say Cheese collections.

I went to New Zealand back in April for Autumn Escape Retreat and took my Say Cheese Collections and my Disney photos so I could complete this album in between classes.

I thought I would share some of my favourite pages with you all
I absolutely love the Say Cheese Collections and creating this album was super quick

Elf on a Shelf December Daily Album

wow isn't Christmas coming up so quickly, only 12 sleeps until Christmas!!!

I created this album for Couture Creations Blog using Couture Creations Dies and Embossing Folders

I have wanted to do a December Daily album ever since I saw Ali Edwards' first December Daily Album (you can see all of Ali's albums here)
Now as a family we are not that exciting and I am kind of slack and have never created one. This year however things have changed, I decided I would create a December Daily Album featuring the antics of our Elf on the Shelf "Tinsel". I have kept my album very simple as I didn't want it to get too bulky and I wanted my photos to be the feature oh and I wanted to actually finish it :) . I have used Red, White and Black as my colours which match my theme for 2013 and also match well with Tinsel.

I started off creating the base of my album using a patterned file folder cut to 6" x 10" and plain white cardstock cut to 5.5" x 9.5" and then folded them in half for the pages. I cut a piece of ribbon to fit around leaving enough to tie off and then I used a small piece of double sided tape to hold the ribbon in place and sewed all the pages together. Quick and Easy Mini Album created now to embellish.

Start by die cutting Autumn Reflections Doily Die in white cardstock, pop a piece of tan mat or something to stop the middle from cutting so you can pop the middle "petals" up. Die cut a snowflake in red cardstock

(both of these would also look great die cut in glitter cardstock)

Attach to front of album and embellish with red and crystal gemstones and a brad for center

Now onto embellishing my pages

On my inside title page I have used Magical Christmas Decorative Dies, Eve, Faith and Tis the Season, I embossed the pennant with Extra Confetti embossing folder from our Elegance collection.

*Tip pinch the petals on the poinsettia flower to give some dimension to your flower, they will flatten a little when you close the album but still look better than leaving them flat.

Next I cut my printed numbers 1 -25 using circle and scallop circle nesting dies.

North Pole Decorative Die

On this page I used the Forest Die but cut two trees off the border as the border was too much, I also embossed the trees.

Rudolph Decorative Die

here is a look at the Magical Christmas Decorative Dies I have used on my pages.

I printed all my photos from my mobile phone via bluetooth to my Polaroid GL10 printer.

I just love it it is one of the best things I have purchased I only wish I had bought it before I went to Europe as I could have printed photos for my travel journal while I was travelling.

I hope I have inspired you to do a December Daily album for your Elf on the Shelf or your families daily life, as you can see by my album you can do something simple, if you are short on time.

I will pop the completed album on my blog after Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you all
