"Wicked" Mini Album & Video using Masquerade Party collection by Teresa Collins

I am just loving this book and all of the fun inside! These papers and embellishments are AWESOME!!

The book was created using the "Your Story" book and binding system. I created all of my pages then inserted them into the hardbound book then cooked the spine which melts the pages into the spine permanently.

For my cover I included one of the larger treat bags and used the packaging for the tag! The chipboard chandelier is so fun!! The Quote is cut from one of the pages, layerd over the die cut frame and mounted on pop dots. 

I created all of my pages around the Banner paper. This is a fold out page!

I love the black foil on the Banner Letters and even on the die cut border strips! This page is one of the mini file folders from the collection.

The orange subway art is on the inside of the mini file folder. 

This page is a pocket page. I only adhered the lower part of the "L" so my orange ledger tag with black damask washi tape can pull in and out of the page. 

This is another fold out page.

 I absolutely love the banner from the die cut paper. Here is another treat bag used as well.

This is probably my favorite page because it folds out several times then has another treat bag.

Here's the first fold out, I lined up the washi tape on the front and back of the flip page which gives a really neat look. 

Here is the last fold out. I am just loving it! The tag in the "Halloween" treat bag is made from the back of the die cut border strip packaging. This page is the largest mini file folder and I just cut the top so it would fin in the book. 

This is the inside of the file folder. I love the grouping with the brad, enamel dot and die cuts. 

This is the large chipboard frame and I just cut out the wing of bat and witches wart circles from the Icons paper. The Beware cat is from the die cut sheet. 

The Brocade foiled paper is so fun!

This is another fold out page for the album. I just love the way folded pages look and that you can add more photos in your books by adding a few here or there in your books!

Like I said, I have really enjoyed creating this book! I hope you are inspired to create one of your own!

Mini Album with Timeless, Your Story Book and Cricut Expression

I love these photo's of my girlfriends' daughter. She's just a little cutie pie. About the time I recieved the photo's I also received my "Your Story" book system and I was dying to play with it.


As you know I love mini albums and I was very excited to pair up the "TIMELESS" & "BLINGAGE" collections with the 8x8 YOURSTORY book. I created each page using the ELEGANT EDGES Cricut Expression Cartridge. I love that I was also able to create matching borders, frames and Silhouettes using the same cartridge. The Elegant Edges cartridge features a "Book Template" which is what used to create this mini album. 

On the cover I created the cute stamped border using the "Timeless" matching stamp set. I stamped my first row then flipped the stamp around and stamped the second row to create the damask border. I added a spot of glue and added Gentry's glitter to the center. I layered the pieces and added dimension with ThermOWeb's 3D foam squares.

I used the Blingage Alphabet stamp letter H inside the Timeless frame and added Gentry's Glitter and popped it up above the border strips using foam squares too!

I love this Scallop page, it's perfect with the Timeless paper!

There are so many uses with this Elegant Edges cartridge, it's my most used to date!! I created the clock scallop circle using it too!

Clearly I love scallops and circles and the Timeless papers are just perfect for this! I separated 3 pearls from "Donna's Gems" blingage strips and added them to the scallop circle edge to pull the circles all together.

I layered Zach's book plate over one of the Timeless pre-printed tags to make it look wider and even more elegant then added the word "Lovely" using the 3D foam squares to pop it out of the book plate.

This book was so much fun to create! It was so easy to create using the Elegant Edges Cartridge and all the choices it offers! I can't wait to create another "Your Story" book after trying my hand with this one I am inspired to create so many more... I have an idea for trying my had at creating an art journal with it too!
