For the next four days DCWV & Clear Scraps are joining together to show how fabulous their products are together.
I got to work with DCWV’s Jolly Whimsy Stack and a Clear Scraps 8×8 Regular Acrylic Album.
I have to start with how much I love this stack!
As in love, love, love it.
I love the colors, the prints and the especially the adorable images like Santa and his reindeer.
They make me super excited for the upcoming Christmas season.
I will also tell you this is the first time I’ve worked with a Clear Scraps album.
So, while making this mini album I had to balance wanting to use every last little bit of this stack with my desire to keep the album relatively clear.
My album~
I think I did okay. He he.
Putting this together was similar to putting a puzzle together, since what I placed on one side showed through on the other.
But, I just love how sturdy this album is and I think the peek-a-boo page makes it all worth while.
A few close-ups~
What also surprises me with this mini album is just how much my kids have changed and matured in one year.
How did that happen?
