Kraft Pocket Album

When I recently went to the CTMH Rediscover Event in Ontario, we did a few projects there, one of them was this cute Kraft Pocket Album.

We used 3 of the different paper packs to make this, they coordinated so well.  They were Lollydoodle, Skylark, and Timberline.
We also used the the stamp sets D1578 Flight of the Arrows and B1432 Love This.

I was so proud of myself for already adding photos, I usually have the stuff for a while before I finally add them.  We also used some of the new Base and Bling style sheets.  I never thought of adding then to layouts and cards but they really do work well.

We used the Cotton Candy, Blush and Gypsy ink pads, love these colors.






We used some of the Durables Triangle Studs Z1928 which come in both gold and silver.


The Flamingo Dots(Z1934)  are a cute embellishment to add to the pages.

The black outline around the pictures are done with the Journaling pen,  I have never done this before but I am liking it.  It makes your photos stand out.

This album has 16 pages to decorate and add photos.  Here are the last couple of photos of mine.

I had to add Bleau in the album also!!

And that is the end of my Album, Hope you enjoyed looking at my creation.  If you are interested in making an album like this one or would just like to purchase some supplies to do one yourself.  You can contact me at stampandscrapstudio@hotmail.com or order on my website at www.stampandscrap.ctmh.com
