Comfortable Jeans Mini Album

Dungarees Blog Hop photo Dungarees_blog_hop_badge_zpsa159cd0d.jpg


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
Your next stop is with the artistic Tiare from Tiare Smith Designs and the beginning of the hop is at Club Scrap Creates. Thank you for reading my post and your comments are greatly appreciated.

Happy Crafting,

Debby H

    1. By the way - about how many pictures does this album hold, would you say?

    2. About 24 4x6 since I used 8 large pockets with front, pocket and back for photos. The original used only 4 large pockets and 12 small. I used 8 large and 6 small to get more room for pictures.
