Welcome to the Club Scrap Dungarees Collection Blog Hop! To return to the start of the hop here. This is the time for graduations and I needed a gift for a high school graduate going away to college. Instead of going for something formal, I went for something worn and comfortable made with the Club Scrap Dungarees Collection. The pattern is for a Cascading Pocket Mini Album designed by Laura Denison. I love the jean pocket paper and made the cover with a real pocket. It includes removable distressed flowers and keys from the Club Scrap Lock and Key collection.
The inner album features pages with flaps and pockets for mats/tags up to 4 x 6 inch. The front and back covers have pockets for extra tags since each pocket will fit several tags. It was a lot of fun using the Dungarees cut aparts to decorate each page.

I was inspired to make the distress flowers by Julie's Dungarees Rag Quilt card. I thought the look would be great for a contemporary but shabby flower. The flowers we made by cutting 1 inch squares and rounding two corners. First the edges were distressed; then the petal was colored with fluid chalk & wrinkled. The center is a colored circle covered by a Dungarees rivet stamp embossed in Club Scrap Hematite embossing power.
Supplies Used:
- Club Scrap Dungarees Collection
- Club Scrap Lock and Key - keys and tags
- Club Scrap Hematite embossing power
- Prima Fluid Chalk
- Distress Ink
- Glossing Accents
- Distress Paint
- Tim Holtz Journey Charm
- Found items from my stash
