Clear Scraps - Vintage/Heritage Mini Album

Hello, my friends!

I'm back with a new project share for Clear Scraps!

I've been on a bit of a heritage quest this Summer.
After attending several family reunions, 
and taking a little road trip,
family ancestry has been on my mind.

All of that led into the creating of this lovely little mini album.
This is the Chipboard 5 x 7 Reg Album.
It comes with four chipboard pages.
This is my favorite kind of album to have on hand.
It can be used for anything at all!
I dressed mine up just a little bit by adding a clear acrylic cover.
I did this by simply cutting a 5 x 7 piece from a 12 x 12 Acrylic Sheet.
An acrylic cover is so much fun to decorate!

Here's my album:

It's always fun to play with both sides of the acrylic,

and to consider what to show behind it.

I didn't have photos of my ancestors printed out and ready to use.

I came across this page of vintage images printed out from my Gecko Galz days.

It worked beautifully with this collection. 

The quotes and tags are perfect for a Heritage type album.

With some simple matting, and the addition of a few embellishments, 

these photos are beautifully displayed on these pages.

An album like this would make a lovely gift, wouldn't it?

Perfect for a special birthday or anniversary!

This is the back cover. 

Usually I add ribbons to my rings.

Plain rings seemed better suited to this album.

Other Materials Used:

  Colorbok - Vintage Rose Collection;

Vintage Photo Distress Ink;

Cheery Lynn Designs Die;

Gecko Galz -Vintage Beauties Collage Sheet; 

Crafts Pearls.
