Here in sunny Arizona it's been over 100 degrees already. 

We're always in beach mode!

I know for some of you in the cold, cold areas - it seems as if

summer will never arrive.  We've decided to try and help

you get in the mood for summer fun...

 

Last hop I did a travel scrapbook album and decided to do a smaller

at the beach version.  No photos this time, as I used the fun 

Beach Babes Stamp Set 473 for my album and I have grandsons,

not granddaughters - so left it blank for your imagination.

 

 

 



The album was created using Stampin' Up DP and the album cover

used the cardboard piece that comes in the DP package.

The album is 6" x 11" - scored in at 5" on each side.

If you Google Back to Back Bookbinding - you should

find a fabulous U-tube video from Heidi Swapp.

I decorated the cover using Sparkle N Sprinkle's 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape.

Check out the Tips & Techniques section on their website

for instructions on Glitter Masking.

The Hibiscus is from Stamp Set 451 - Hummingbirds & Flowers and

is highlighted using Orchid Rose Velvet Glitter from SNS.

 

Without further ado - meet Olive, Penny & Molly.

 

 

Here's Molly!

 

Here's Penny!

 

Here's Olive!

 

The photo and image panels are made with

Spellbinder's Labels 28 dies.

The girls and the hibiscus are colored with my trusty Copic markers

and highlighted with various shades of SNS Velvet and Ultra Fine

Glitters as well as a variety of Mudd Puddles Beach Glasses & Sands.

The phrases in the circles are layered onto cardstock that was

covered with 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape and punched out with

a scalloped punch and covered with Luau Green Velvet Glitter

Check the gallery for full instructions and products used

if you'd like more info.

 

Hope you enjoyed my little album as much
