Choo Choo!

I made this little photo Album for my niece. Her little one will be 1 in September and I thought she would have lots of photos to add to it. I used the Choo Choo set to decorate it, along with various punches and die cuts. It was really fun to decorate. I forgot to photograph it, so I grabbed a couple of last second pictures when I gave it to her. Each side of each circle is different, with mats and embellishments.

I used Craft Ink and clear embossing powder and then cut out the images. I often use our classic inks when I am scrapping, because they are quicker to dry. Inside an album, fading isn’t as much of a factor. On projects like this though, that are more designed for display, I always use the Craft Inks for their fade proof qualities. The little mini album is the scallop chip board album from the last mini. These are great little gifts and because they are smaller in size, they are easy and quick to decorate. Our new sanding kit was a must have, when it came time to sand down the DSP that I used to cover the chip board.

I highly recommend you stock up on a few of these as they become available in the mini catalogs. They make such awesome gifts. I wish I had a few more of these scalloped ones, but there is an adorable briefcase/suitcase one in the current mini that I can see many uses for. This time I am going to order a few extras while they are still avaiable!
