ScrapSmarter Experience w/ Layle PT 2
These were so fun, adding those stamped images to these, gave it the perfect touch. I love all things I can find with Dachshunds on it. Its so hard to find, so when you do, you buy them!
They turned out too cute with the Alcohol markers! I tried to get them similar to my puppies, take some practice, but I will keep trying and get there at some point. They're still adorable!
The Waterfall Doors. I've used something similar to this making cards. However I never thought to use it in an ablum, mini or otherwise! Not sure this would work on a normal page, but I would give it a try. here are the pages.
I can't wait to get pictures and additional layers and embellishments on these. I am just so in love with these "Hidden Doors"! There are no words!
This is the final door. The French Door. I kept this simple for now, I'm sure that when i go to create this album, I may add some thing more to this to break up that pattern a little bit and such. I am after all a Maximilist! haha
I just used some twine to tie this, once the pictures are in and its fully embellished it will look amazing.
I am so excited to start working on this album! I have so many pictures of my dogs, its insane! This will be perfect to keep them in! I see many more mini albums and hidden doors in my future. Thank you for stopping by!
Happy Crafting!

Aunt Vibes and Sunbursts!
Hello! One of my favorite things to scrapbook are my nieces and nephews! Every year, I take my sisters yearly family photo. It always so much fun, I have to take literally 450 pictures just to get one good one, cause they are so goofy! Totally worth it though, cause while she is taking their individual photos, I get to spend time with them. I usually get photos with all of them, but as they get older, they don’t want any more pictures than the absolutely have to have taken. However, my darling niece Arianna is never too old to get her taken with Aunt Melly. I treasure these photos. And this particular layout is getting hung on my wall! I used the amazing sunburst stencil from Redefined Kreative as a template for this, and of course epoxy flair from the fabulous ScrappinHappy Studio, and sequins from the amazing SpiegelMom Scraps!
Full details can be found on the CutCardstock Blog on how I created this layout with their beautiful paper!
Happy Crafting!
