Wedding Album Project - Part 2

Finally I've gotten to page 2 of my album! :)
Part 1 featured the wedding invite, and Part 2 here features the chapel:

Along the bottom of the page I stuck of the butterflies that my sister sprinkled on the chapel floor as she walked down the isle.  Oh, and the heart shape on the bottom right is the bottles of bubbles.

I have too many photos, and so all the pages are probably going to be this full, but I can't help it!  I think it looks OK though, and this one doesn't look too crowded if you ask me.
Anyway, I thought since this page is about the chapel, I'd make the chapel photo the focus point (not that I think anyone can really tell that there's a focus point on this page, haha).  I did that by using beautiful little photo corner stickers:

 

I also featured one of the butterflies that was used on the chapel decoration - the tree that my mum and future brother-in-law made out of styrofoam (you can see more pics of the tree in this post).  I added some blue glitter glue all around it:

I love using rhinestones in scrapbooking because of the sparkle they give, so I added a few around the page.

I recreated the sweetie bags (which can be seen in this post) that I gave to everybody as they entered the chapel - I photocopied some of the heart shaped wedding themed sweets, cut them out and put them in the bag:

Then I printed our wedding vows, folded it up and put it into a cute little envelope.  I scraped the edges of the envelope on an inkpad to make it look more interesting: (isn't there a specific name for this scraping process...?  I guess I've just given away my amateur scrapbooker status, huh? Hehe.)

Finally I thought of something interesting to do!  The background page had a pretty twirly pattern on it, so I took gold glitter glue and traced over some of the twirls on selected parts of the page:

It didn't come out as neat as I'd hoped it would, but I think the idea is cool!  If you click on the first photo of this post to enlarge the photo, you'll be able to see a little more of where I added this gold glitter glue on the page.
And.....that's page 2 of my 20 page album! :D

Mini Clothing Peg Magnetic Memo Holder Tutorial

I'm going to show you how to make these cute little magnetic memo holders, which were fun to make. :D

Here are the supplies you'll need:

Mini clothing peg
Scrap material
Modge Podge and brush
Craft glue
Scissors
Little decoration for peg
Sheet magnet (or your magnet of choice)

Cut a piece of material slightly bigger than necessary to cover the peg - you'll trim off the excess later:

Brush on some modge podge to one side of the peg:

Stick on the material:

Let it dry for a minute or so, then trim off the excess material with your scissors.  Apply another layer of modge podge over the material:

Let it dry completely for about 5 - 10 minutes, and then apply your little decoration with craft glue:

Let that dry properly, and then cut out a piece of sheet magnet the same size or slightly smaller than the side of the peg (it mustn't stick out over the sides), peel off the protective layer and stick it on the peg:

Finally, go find a note that you need to display on your fridge, and use your cute little peg to hold it in place! :D

Christmas Gifts 2010 - Part 3 (Mini Clothing Peg Memo Holders)

This was inspired by something made by Keren over at Free Pretty Things For You.  So of course I had to make my own mini version of those pretty little things. :D  I'm putting them in a Christmas cracker that I'm making for everyone this year (well, only the ladies are getting these in their crackers):

Click on the photo to see it enlarged.

 

Here's one I decorated with a teeny tiny little bow.  I just tied a single knot with the ribbon to make this bow:

A cute froggy thing, hehe.  I couldn't wait to find something to stick these little eyeballs on to. :D  This one's for my sis:

Some other cute ones:

I have some sheet magnet that I used to stick on on the other side, and there you have it, mini fridge memo holders!  Is this cute or what?! :D

And you can use them as......

Cracker fillings

Gift tag holders

Fridge magnet shopping list holders
