This is a mini album I did using the March Treasured Scrapbooking Kit- Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows, Lucky Penny add on, the Under Tessa’s Umbrella special project kit (which includes some Helmar products!), and the Galoshes add on. That’s one perk of owning the store, some kits occasionally “fall off the truck” and into my scrap collection. J I love the bright crazy colors of the new Prima Umbrella line and the Sassafras Lass Nerdy Bird line. They are perfect for a spring break album, and that’s just what I’ve made here! I decided that for once I would end up with a finished mini, so I made the album in advance and I’ve been taking pictures during each of our outings over spring break this week. Today is the aquarium, tomorrow is the Oregon Museum and Science and Industry, and Sunday is the Zoo! Phew! I’m tired just thinking about it! I will print all the photos in 2x3 size for the album.
Here is the album cover:
And some inside pages:
As you can see from the close ups, I love Helmar Zapdots! What might not be as obvious is that I used the Liquid Scrap Dots on almost every page! I love it for attaching flowers to pop them up just a bit from the page.
**Confession** I used to HATE liquid glues in any form whatsoever because I was always making a mess or the glue didn’t work well. I used alternative adhesives until I found Helmar. One day I went through some of my old albums and had to redo half of the pages because the adhesives I used had seriously let me down. Then I won a RAK from Helmar and I was HOOKED. I carry most of the products that are scrap related in my store now, and while I love the liquid glues (too much? Is that possible?), the Helmar Adhesive Runner has AMAZED me so far! I love it, and I don’t think there’s a chance at all that my embellies will all be in the bottom of a protector in the future. I am an official convert and it has been such an honor for this glue junkie to get to play along with the amazing Design Team here this month! Thanks for having me!
