Hello Friends. I'm here with a mini album about the sea.
I'm obsessed with all things of the sea. I am thankful that Creative Embellishments lets me indulge my obsession with the coolest chipboard pieces.
These are the pieces I am featuring on this mini album.
My paper choice for this passbook is Graphic 45's - Sun Kissed 8x8 paper collection. It's bright, cheery, beachy and has great colors.
The passbook was actually created with a die from Sizzix created by Eileen Hull Designs- Sizzix Vintage Scoreboard Passbook die (mini-album) .
I really enjoyed this die. In the past, I have not enjoyed making mini-albums but now, I'm a crazy lady cutting and gluing mini-albums. Thanks to my fellow Creative Embellishments Teammate, Maggi Harding. She's the one who introduced me to the passbook when I visited her home recently.
The sea turtle chipboard happens to be my favorite piece from Creative Embellishments.
What's really cool is that the package contains a variety of sized turtles. All perfect for any project.
This is what I used to color the sea turtle. I used a selection of Liquid Pearls and topped with sequins. This way, I don't lose the beautiful details on the chipboard piece.
These are the colors I used:
Moving on to the inside of the passbook, I created these mini tags using
Creative Embellishments Tag Set2 (mini tags).
These mini tags are the perfect size to use as embellishments for a mini album.
Ahhhhhhhhh tags....covering decorative tags used to be a perplexing issue for me - a paper perfectionist. Gosh edges never were perfect so I never bothered with tags.
But they really are fun and adorable. So I gave it a whirl once again and overcame my issues.
I traced the tag onto the paper and cut "close enough".
No need to trim the paper exactly. After trimming the paper "close enough " and gluing to the tag, I used a nail-file to trim the edges of the paper to the exact size.
Simple and pretty darn near perfect - even for me.

The tags have little journal cards that slide into place. The photo below shows the tags without the journal cards.
Happy Crafting and thanks for visiting.
