Bathing Beauties Mini Album

Hello friends! This is a Bathing Beauties mini album I created as a sample for the Scrapbook store, The Scrap Nook where I work.

This album was created using Graphic 45's On The Boardwalk collection. I used an entire 8 x8 paper pad to create this book.
I tried Tim Holtz Film Strip ribbon for the first time when I created this album and I love it!!! It's clear film ribbon that you can glue or staple on to paper to create this cool look! After I made this book, our entire stock of film strip ribbon sold out and we still can't keep it in stock!


I also tried this great new product called, Mudd Puddles. It's a sand paste that you spread out across your project and when it dries you have this great look!


This album was so much fun to create! I used images from the paper line along with a few vintage postcard images printed from the web.


I am so addicted to Bo Bunny's dot ribbon! I use it on almost every page! Look for it at your LSS, they have a large variety of colors!


I have never been to the beach or have any beach photos to scrap, so I wasn't sure I could easily create with this line, but I loved it! So many cute patterns and the vintage feel is so fun!

Close up detail of ticket strips.



I love these old photographs! The older swimsuits looked so cute!


This album is so chunky! I love these Prima Flowers!


I had fun adding lots of little details to the book!

The film strip ribbon looks so neat that I added it without the paper.

Here's the last page of my mini album but that's not where the book ends...


Every page has a pull out on the side or at the top!


This book by Creative Imaginations came in white and I painted it blue.





Thank you for looking at this album!

Have a crafty day, Lindsey

OOoh this is FAB! I have some vintage bathing beauty postcards waiting for frames and to be hung in my bathroom that would work perfectly with this range.

Lindsey, you did an incredible job! I wish I could touch it! I love the little details, especially where the bathing beauty looks like she coming out from under the paper! All it takes is to make a sample and 'poof', product goes out the door! I was trying to be good and not purchase anymore paper but now seeing what you did with G45 beach paper, I'm gonna have to hit the stores! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Lindsey,

Wow, you did an awesome job. I used to design projects for a store out here and I loved it. Graphic 45's paper is to die for, isn't it? Thank you so much for sharing your book with us, it's beautiful.

Hugs,
Meri
