Shabby Chic Baby Album

Good morning everyone....hope all is well in your little corner of the world!!! I have been working so much in my yard that I have been tooo pooped to stamp!! My DH helped me clean out the rock garden this morning and we planted some moss roses. Gotta go buy more plants tomorrow.....I may have to go back to work if I don't quit buying plants!!! Anyway....

While watching Dancing With the Stars tonight I finally finished the shabby chic album I started at CHA in January....it was a make and take but I can't remember the booth. The album base which measured 12 inches by 6 1/2 inches was cardboard that was stripped of the top layer to expose the corrugated under layer....it was sprayed with several different colors of glimmer mist and some metalic spray to give it a little shimmer. The Crafty Secrets Baby Memories Vintage Cuts image was distressed around the edges and attached over the frame with glue dots. The chipboard frame was colored with Ranger Distress Crackle Paint...... Frayed Burlap was the only color I had and it really matched the paper perfectly...Woot!!!

I added flowers, buttons, twine, lace, a blingy flourish, a grungeboard flourish colored with a copic, Tattered Angel Glimmer Chips (the birds), and ribbons. I just love it when I can use up scraps and stuff that has been lying around for ages!!

The edges of the background paper were distressed, also, and the lace was scrunched up using glue.

This closeup shows the shimmer from the Glimmer Mist....

I used the other images from the Vintage Baby Cuts on the inside papers. Now I just have to wait till someone I know has a baby!!! I may have to wait for a great grandchild....that could be a few years away, I hope!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by today....have great day!!!!
