Chipboard book

There is not much left to do to finish off the chipboard book, you should have all of your pages assembled and ready to put the book together. I took a crop a dile, figured out where I wanted my holes, and punched them. If you don't own a crop a dile I really suggest you get one, they are awesome.

Chipboard pages.

Hey peeps, I guess I should go back to the chipboard book eh? I choose to put my pages back to back to make it 1 page. Don't know if I said this before but when designing your pages keep in mind how many rings and where you want to place them as you will be using the crop a dile to punch holes through your pages. Make sure you put your pages back to back as you design them so you keep in mind the rings when placing ribbon, embellies etc. Then I just took double sided tape and taped the two of them together.

Inside album

I have just finished doing all the pages for my chipboard album. My intention is to use the crop a dile to bind them together. I thought about adhering the pages to chipboard but I think I will just use the pages back to back and planned for when making. I kept that in mind when designing each page to leave room for the holes from the crop a dile.

The base is SU white card stock, I used a no-name stamp and embossed clear over SU bravo burgundy ink. The DP????, Photo is mounted on SU garden green. I used various ribbon and some staples.

6 x 6 chipbaord album

I have known about chip board for a while now, but never really worked with it. With Christmas having passed and a lot of pictures to scrapbook with I thought I would do something outside the box, for me. I have mentioned tutorials a few times but never done one. I don't even think of this as a tutorial more of a you can learn at the same time as me. Just like I started doing stuff without taking pictures for you, the audience - LOL. So let's try and figure this out together. Once again I dug product names out of the garbage for this and some I still don't know which company they are from. So here we go wwhhheeee.

I took 2 pieces of raw 6 X 6 chipboard, and using Modge Podge adhered some 6 x 6 paper on to the chipboard. I think the picture kind of says it all. After the paper had dried to the chip board I sanded the %*2& out of the edges of the chipboard to distress it. Then another coat of Modge Podge to make it more durable. This will be the front and back of the album.

The name of the paper I used (please remember I don't think I was able to fish everything out of the garbage) on the covers, is unattainable at this time. I will be more specific when I blog the inside pages of the album. I know the designer paper used in the first few pages are by We R Memory Keepers, one is called "CHRISTMAS- CHEERY". Another of the papers used is by a company called Magenta http://www.magentastyle.com/ (sorry if this breaks infringement, linking it wrong etc-my disclaimer) and the paper is DELICATE STRIPES from the Pleasures collection
