Creative Weekends

Watching mixed media art tutorial videos is one of my favorite activities. Recently I came across Such a Pretty Mess . Since then I have been visiting this blog regularly. I wanted to make a travel journal for my recent trip. So accordingly i was choosing elements and themes for my journal. I pulled out some of the very old products which were still lingering in my stash, plus a few from my trash accessories like pearl pendant and even some old metal keys. I bought some wooden embellishments, card stock, texture paste and some stencils. So I had this beautiful chipboard cover. I know it is too pretty to modify. But seriously i had no option :D Anyways, here are some of the wooden embellishments I got from local store. In an excitement I used my new stencils and camel texture paste and realized it is not so easy to apply with old credit card. But then I tried it for several times on some trash paper and voila!! I was ready to start working on my piece of art. lolz

Over the last year I have been watching lot of video tutorials and blogs to learn scrapbooking. I watched anything and everything that I came across on youtube.And then I realized I need to plan properly in order to make scrapbook. Major task was to identify goal like whether it is just a photo album or a travel journal or a planner. I finally decided to make a photo album with some gorgeous papers and flowers This was an time consuming process for a newcomer like me. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wanted to include lots of pockets and envelopes into this scrapbook to make it interactive and interesting. I have used Butterfly Punch at so many places here. I have added flaps to some pages to make more space in this mini album. Added some Tags and photo mats. Thank you for stopping by. Have a good day.
