Debbie's Time Out: Heartfelt Memories Album

Heartfelt Memories Interactive Album

This was my 1st sample I designed for Heartfelt Creations semi finalists. I created a album base and then used several paper collections from Heartfelt Creations to decorate it.

Front Cover - Lush Lilac Collection
All the paper used on the front cover is from the Lush Lilac Paper Collection. Cut a piece of purple paper 6 3/4 x 6 3/4 and glue it to the cover. Die cut four of the lacey borders from the Sweetheart Borders and glue them around all four edges of the cover. Created a 6 1/4 x 6 1/4 inch shadow box covering it with some mauve paper. Glue the shadow box to the cover. Glue the 6x6 cottage panel to the background of the shadow box. Apply glitter to the flowers around the cottage.Stamp and color several lilac flowers and two of the small sprays from the Lush Lilac collection. Cut the flowers and sprays out with the matching dies. Emboss and shape all the flowers with the 3D Lilac Shaping Mold. Use the stylus from the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit to push down in the center of each flower to shape them . Stamp and color the lilac flower spray from the Sweet Lilac Scroll and Notes. Use the matching die to cut them out. Cut the bird cage out of white cardstock using the Sweet Lilac Scroll and Cage die. Glue the bird cage to the bottom corner of the shadow box. Glue the lilac spray along the bottom of the birdcage. Take the two tiny flourishes with flowers and glue one to the inside of the box and one to the top corner. Glue the umbrella to the other top corner. Glue the shaped lilac flowers to the umbrella and lilac sprays to give lots of dimension.
