I hope you're ready for some fun because today I am joining the i {heart} papers team on their chipboard album blog hop!
i {heart} mini chipboard books??
I say it as a question because honestly I was a tad worried about giving this little challenge a go. I am a cardmaker...I don't really do albums, or books, or really anything that I can't fold in half! LOL! However, the fabulous ladies at i {heart} papers planned to get their chipboard on, and being that I am guest designer with them this month, I decided to just close my eyes and go for it.
Let me tell you, making a chipboard book was NOT scary. In fact, it was actually really FUN!!!
Armed with the Echo Park A Boy's Life 12 x 12 kit (oh my goodness there are soooo many fun goodies inside it!) and the A Boys Life 6 x 6 paper pad, I sat down and began to create with my 4x8 Journal Kit Honeycomb album.
I have to say...
i {heart} mini chipboard books!!
I love these papers!! All the elements and stickers were included in the 12 x 12 kit I really had a great time playing with them and choosing the pattern paper.
The 6 x 6 pad offers a smaller version of the same patterns. I used the small version on the front and the 12x12 version on the back. I love how they coordinate perfectly but aren't exactly the same, and I think they compliment the honeycomb texture on the chipboard. I wanted the papers to really stick to the chipboard so I used the i{stick} papers red line tape. Trust me, those papers aren't going anywhere now! I also used it to apply the 3/4" Turquoise Blue Twill Stripes ribbon. Instead of tying a bow, I tied a knot to keep with the boyish theme.
The grid paper that comes with the chipboard album kit is really cute. S just for fun and giggles, I stamped on a few of the pages inside using Market Street Stamps Simple Joys with Tangelo and Bahama Blue Memento inks
I just love i{heart} papers!
Besides the fact that Kate is just the sweetest person, she also has a really wonderful assortment of product and fast shipping too!
