What a beautiful combination of Christmas tones with some lovely shades of blue, combine to make Vintage Artistry Peace and Joy Collection. My favourite Christmas collection yet, from 49 and Market.
I really enjoyed putting this album together all ready for this season's family photos. The 6x8 papers from Peace and Joy made it so easy. Not to mention all the beautiful laser cuts and ephemera bits to match.
I was a little hesitant to use the Foundations 2" Portrait Album in black but I love how it turned out. It really sets off the colours of the Paper range.
I began by picking which paper I wanted for the front, stuck in down then stuck papers to each page throughout the album except one, which I reserved for the Foundations Waterfall Enclosure 6x8 in Black. It's the perfect size for this album.
I cut paper to fit the cover of the waterfall enclosure then pieces for inside the enclosure leaving a little frame of black on the edges of each page. When cutting the paper I kept any little leftover strips to use to decorate pages. I also cut paper to add as pockets on pages to tuck tags and ephemera bits. I've even used pieces of ephemera as pockets also. From there I played with placement of the laser cuts and ephemera to decorate the pages of the album and the waterfall enclosure and stuck them down once happy. Tucking some lacey trim here and there. I just played until I felt I'd decorated enough. This included the Vintage Artistry Essentials Whitewash chipboard Frames and the Rub on transfers from Vintage Artistry Peace and Joy and Vintage Artistry Noel, which glide on just like butter.
I decorated the front of the album with more from the Vintage Artistry Peace and Joy Ephemera Bits {I love those frames!!!} and laser cuts from the 6x8 Collection pack. A sprig of berries, some Lacey Trim in White and paper flowers from Royal Posies and Majestic Bouquet in the colour Tomato.
