Sunny Days Are Ahead

Love singing in the rain or splashing in puddles?  

Make a cute mini album that captures all of those rainy spring memories 

with the “Sunny Days Ahead” Collection by

ECHO PARK PAPER

I started with a tabbed chipboard album that I had on hand and used

 Carta Bella’s Kraft Paper for the base pages.  I cut smaller mats from various

 “Sunny Days Ahead” papers and machine stitched them in place 

before adhering to the chipboard.

On the front cover I used a round punch and a piece from the 6X6 paper pad to make the journal card’s sun 3-D; just adhere with foam adhesive and you have a really fun look.

 If you’re giving your album as a gift, print off a few related photos (I found mine 

on the internet by searching for “vintage rain photos”) and add them to the

 pages with repositionable adhesive.  This is a good way to show 

placement ideas to the recipient.

Next, the “Spring” sentiment was die-cut from the  “Spring Flowers Die”. 
I wanted the letters to follow the contour of the sun shape, so I snipped the letters
 apart and then affixed them to the image.

 

The small number stickers from the Element Sticker Sheet are the perfect
bullet points for the journal card…add a list of your favorite spring activities.

 

 Again, I used a round die to change the shape of the “sunny days ahead” journal card, 

which made it a better fit for the small page.

 Dress up the stickers with dimension by adding enamel dots and brads!
