Dot & Whimsy : Feels Like Home

Feels Like Home

Sunday, August 25, 2013 August 25, 2013

This month we've been sharing the newest collection at

LITTLE YELLOW BICYCLE

www.mylyb.blogspot.com

The collection is Feels Like Home and it's now available at retailers and online

Simple house-shaped chipboard pieces were the perfect backdrop for this mini album.

For the cover, I drew inspiration from the On A Limb paper (from the 6x6 Paper Pack).

I die-cut a tree and layered it on top of the branch pattern found on the paper.

I added a couple of sentiments and shapes and the cover was complete.

When planning out the following pages, I like to alternate the colors so that I don't have

two blue pages together, etc.

Because I'm mostly a card and mini-album maker the 6 X 6 Paper Packs are a must have

because the designs are true to scale and are perfect for paper piecing and die-cutting.

And as with most of the mini albums that I create, I add a trim of twine or jute to the

edge of the chipboard; use fabric glue and a toothpick to spread a thin bead of the adhesive

along the edge and press the jute in place.
