COMPENDIUM OF CURIOSITIES 3 Challenge #22


This 6x6 chipboard plaque is my entry for Challenge #22.

In this challenge we are using Tim's Dimensional Cutting Pad from Sizzix and the Base Tray.  This technique is found on page 62 of Tim's book "A Compendium of Curiosities Vol. 3 which you can purchase HERE.

Linda Ledbetter is our host.  You can visit her at Studio 3 for Challenge details.


Here is a close up of the dimensional technique used.

The Funkie Junkie Boutique is sponsoring this challenge.  They are offering a $25 gift certificate to a lucky winner to be used in their shop.  There is also a chance for another lucky crafter to be selected by the Curiosity Crew.  Their pick will receive an assortment of products from Tim Holtz and Mario Ross.

SMALL PHOTO ALBUM


 This album is 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 with a 2 1/2 inch spine.  Tutorial on making album is from a video by My Sisters Scrapper.  I used a kit from Snickerdoodle Designs called 'Follow Your Heart'.  It goes way beyond just Valentine's Day!  This one is full of photos of my Grandson and his new bride.  Both before and after the wedding.



I made templates for my pages and designed them using the kit.  Then printed them on Strampin' Up paper 'Whisper White'.  The flowers were cut out and burnished with Distressed Ink  'Tea Dye' before being glued onto the front.  Pages were burnished as well.



Here's a couple of my favorite pages.  The nice thing about using Digital Scrapbooking Kits is that I can arrange the 'word art' with whatever 'elements' I like:).
