Mini Album Pages with Special Guest Rory Vaillancourt

Today we welcome Rory Vaillancourt back! We have been so inspired by her mini album pages and today’s project has us inspired to start our December Daily albums! Rory certainly has a way of adding just the right touches to her projects. Let’s see what she created:

Hello! I am happy to be back with you for my second guest post this month. Today I have two more layouts in my favorite size: A5 half-fold. I am completely in love with this versatile size. It’s just right for mini albums or memory planners.

This layout is all about gathering crafty goodness in the woods.  We set out to get our rustic crafty supplies and made and afternoon of it.

I printed out my journaling on the ‘currently’ tag from the Autumn journaling tags.  Then I went to town layering tags and papers with the Tis The Season 6 x 6 paper stack, Tis The Season double sided journaling tags and Autumn journaling tags.

The facing page is all about the fabulous acrylics: the large acrylic stars, stars and hearts frosted acrylics and Autumn acrylic. I made a banner and tied one end around the photo, strung the stars and such then secured to the back of the layout. I love all the white with the punches of colour on this layout, especially red!

My second layout is about more crafty goodness, but not the actual gathering of supplies. It explains my love of making handmade gifts for Christmas, and how at this time every year I have a million ideas because I have caught the “Christmas Spirit” and not enough time to get all those yummy projects done in time.

I printed out a full page photo for the left side and used a full page of the Tis the Season patterned paper on the right.  I did not put anything on that paper- since I love it so much I just wanted it on it’s own! I then printed my journaling on the Tis The Season double sided journaling tag.

I added the “Joy” card in front of the full page, and it flips up to reveal the hidden journaling and a wood veneer gingerbread.

Here is a look at the backside of the 4” x 6” tag. I added the word “joy” and stars from the Tis The Season puffy sticker sheet, and the red label from Tis The Season bits and pieces, which I stamped with the “joy” sentiment from the Good Cheer stamp set.

I have so enjoyed sharing these projects with you and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to play with all the Elle’s Studio goodness!  I will definitely be making more pages for my album with the ‘Tis The Season collection! Thank you, Elle, for having me!
