Hello! Happy Friday -- to say I'm thrilled it's Friday would be an understatement. I'm SO excited!
Anyway, I have a MINI ALBUM to share with you today. I love minis, but I don't find myself making them very often. I don't know why exactly. They are a great way to share a specific set of photos.
This album I wanted to keep SIMPLE. Uber simple. I wanted the focus to be on the favorite photos of 2013. They aren't fancy or worthy of any award. But they are just ones that pull my heart strings.
For the simple factor, I decided to use a We R Memory Keepers mint green Instagram album + letterpress. I used white paper, silver ink and various plates. You won't see too much more than that. (Okay, a few of the new We R Memory Keepers Enamel Shapes.)
Let's do it!
These number plates are the Scholastic Printing Plates. I love the sophistication and simplicity.
Here's a double whammy - Letterpress (Studio Calico plates) + We R Memory Keepers Instagram Albums Made Easy cards.
More letterpress and those cool enamel shapes! LOVE.
See? Keeping it SIMPLE.
More letterpress, more enamel shapes. On the left is a plate from a new collection coming in April. I'm so excited for all of the new releases.
More cards from the Instagram Farmers Market Albums Made Easy -- so perfect.
All I did here was letterpress that cute camera (Studio Calico) and then punch it out and adhere directly to the photo. Very simple -- very easy. Focus on the photo.
This is probably the most involved spread in the album. Letterpress + die cutting. Yes, I know the machine stitching is bad. I know it -- but I kind of like it. It's wonky and imperfect, just like me.
As you can see, I wasn't exagerrating the simplicity of the album. It required work, as letterpress does -- but the over all effect is exactly as I wanted it to be.
I am madly in love with these Instagram albums and have plans to purchase more. They would make perfect gifts, and who am I kidding? They are pretty to look at, too!
