"I Will Love You" Mini Book by Tami Sanders

http://tamisanders.com/

Hello! Tami here with a mini album to show you using a chipboard album and felt, chipboard and acrylic embellishments from BASICALLY BARE...

Products from Basically Bare go together with inks and more from Clearsnap like peanut butter and jelly! Basically Bare offers fun and unique alter-ables just waiting to be dressed up! And Clearsnap has PLENTY of products to choose from to do just that.

I decided to do a mini album as a gift for a friend; one she could fill with her own photos and journaling.

I started by looking at the great Basically Bare embellishments I had; fluffy clouds, a chipboard sun, the moon and stars, trees and flowers. While looking them over, a simple, silly poem came to mind, and the album was created around it...

I will love you in the morning,

I will love you at night.

I will love you in Spring,

I will love you in Fall.

and I will love you til forever...

--- That's All!

I used Smooch Spritz, Smooch Accent Ink, Smooch Glitz, Mix'd Media Inx, ColorBox Pigment Ink, ColorBox Archival Dye Ink and Fairy Dust Glitter to alter the album.

Smooch Spritz is a wonderful product to use on chipboard and canvas. You can use a combination of colors or just one, but their shimmery vivid hues cover the well and won't warp your surfaces. Smooch Accent Inks cover in just one coat too and are PEARL-fectly suited to chipboard.

Smooch Glitz works fabulously on acrylic, leaving a dusting of glitter when dry. And Mix'd Media Inx and ColorBox Pigement Inks are creamy smooth and opaque and work great on chipboard, covering in just one coat.

Here is a short one minute video that lets you take a peek inside the book, and tells you what products were used to achieve each look...

"Thinking of You" Card by Steph Ackerman

www.stephaniescraps.blogspot.com

It's a little hard to see, but I spritzed the cloud with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz, giving it a hint of shimmer. The tree top was inked with Stephanie Barnard Artichoke Ink and then scrunched. While in it's "scrunched" state, I then spritzed it with Green Olive Smooch Spritz and allowed it to dry.

The tree trunk was inked with Leather Mix'd Media Ink, then sprtized with Log Cabin Smooch Spritz and allowed to dry. The sentiment was stamped with Artichoke Ink and then die cut. Using one of the stems from the Stamps of Life Flowers 4all set, I created the grass along the bottom edge of the card.
