21st Album for Chelsey

I'm on a roll with these 21st guest albums! I made one for my niece last year for her 21st, not with the intention of making more for private orders. Lo and behold, this is the third order in the last 6 weeks! Nevertheless, I've enjoyed making them, but I've now used up all my Tim Holtz Ideology keys! This order is from Western Australia and the specifications were black/white and red 1920's vintage. So I'm thinking tassells, feathers, pearls, Great Gatsby, silver and gems. After a couple of consultation with paper design selections, I decided on the Kaisercraft Timeless Vintage Black and White for the inside pages and After Five for the cover. The accents are from the Porcelain Rose collection (I love the flowers and birds in this collection). I had a bit of problem with two different sized papers 6x6 and 6.5x6.5 which I solved with matting with the 6.5x6.5 on the front. The inside pages are all 6.5x6.5. There is room inside the covers for photos to be added (I added extra papers for mats and embellishments to adhere over the photos). Hope Chelsey likes it, her party is at the end of this month! I've ordered more vintage keys and they've just arrived... so I'm ready for the next order!

I'm submitting this project into Simon Says Stamp and Show A Little Stamping and Die Cut Diva's July Summer Flowers challenge. Just a reminder that I have just started a FB fanpage, please click link on sidebar and 'Like'. I'll be sharing my works in progress, finished projects, links to giveaways and tutorials there.

90 minute Scramble

This is another 90 minute Scramble card from the Hero Arts Flickr group this morning. Twice a month, members of the HA Flickr group host a challenge set at a particular time. The challenge is posted at the start of the scramble and you have 90 minutes to upload the card to the group. I've participated in quite a few of these challenges and they are fun and sometimes challenging. As most of the members are from the US, the times are sometimes not suitable. The one this morning was at 6am Aussie time, so it suited me. The challenge today was to make a card with music/stars/moon/no green/no black or brown. This theme had me stumped as I had no HA music or star stamps. I decided to use a music patterned paper as the background and overstamp with the HA Leafy Vines stamp (one of my favourites). After inking with distress inks, I die cut the moon out and mounted on white card stock. Here is my card and thank you for dropping by!
