Hello everyone, Renea Harrison here and today I am kicking of a series of 4 different projects that I created with 1 Paper Pad.( I did add in 1 sheet of paper from my stash that matched perfectly for this project only). Through the years as I have crafted, I never realized how much paper I wasted until I cleaned out my old craft room to move everything to my new room I was amazed at how many times I had gotten a paper pad and only used a few sheets out of it. There is no reason why any of us should be wasting our beautiful papers, so I am here to show you, it can be done!!

The Paper Pad I chose to use is a Prima Golden Coast Paper Pad that is a few years old, and that I had not ever used 😳It was time I got some use out of these beautiful papers and here is the first project using it.

The first project I did, is a 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 Chipboard Mini Album. This album is an interactive album that is full of so much detail, it could be used for a Beach Vacation, or even better, a Beach Wedding Album.
This album has enough room for around 55-60 photos according to sizes used.

The first layer on the cover is paper from the pad that I distressed the edges on and then added a layer of Wide Gold Embroidered Lace and then a layer of Scallop Shell Lace across the bottom.

Next, I put together a Beautiful Box Small Square Shaker Box , topped it with a Beautiful Board Seashell Scroll Frame that I distress inked pink with a sponge, then added embossing ink randomly with a sponge, applied gold embossing powder, and heat set it.

I filled the shaker box with Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits- Tiny Heart, Beautiful Beads Hand Tinted Glass Ocean and Beautiful Beads Bronzed Teal Iridescent Pearls. To the frame I added a Printed Beautiful Board By The Sea Small Seahorse Chipboard, real seashells that I 2 toned inked, Seafoam Roses and Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers, Teal And White Roses & Leaves Mulberry Flowers with cheese clothe and burlap string bows tucked in. I topped some of the flowers with a couple of Butterfly Kisses Spun Sugar Single Side Printed Butterflies and the stage was set for the rest of the album.

I covered the spine with distressed edge paper and then added on a Teal And White Rose. I created a dangle using a real seashell, burlap strings and By The Sea Trinkets In Teal. The mermaid was a leftover from a trinket set I used to carry.

The back of the album was covered in distressed edge paper for a designer look.

This fat, little album ties together with a beautiful gold, satin bow.

I love all those chunky layers!!
