Oh Lemons!

Hi everyone! It's Tara (@secretbees_studio). Oh my word! The Simple Vintage Lemon Twist collection is so lavish and exquisite that I guarantee, anything you create with it will be beautiful! The colors and images are rich and elegant and the patterns and embellishments combine together so well.

To show off this collection, I created a tri-fold mini album with lots of interactive elements! The cover of the album features one of the gorgeous patterned papers of the collection and I couldn't hold back with the embellishments! I layered on a fabulous chipboard frame over stunning floral bits, added in some stickers and topped it all off with decorative brads and beautiful bees! 

Flip open the cover and the first page features a pull-out of some 3x4 journal cards and more dazzling pieces of the collection. This section then flips open to another sublime journaling page and a big pocket that holds lots of goodies! There is a vellum envelope stuffed with extra embellishments, a chipboard frame from the collection that is ready for some photos and lastly a flip book, made from the journal elements, that works for photos or journaling! 

The last and largest section of the album starts with a chipboard cover that is decorated in another charming patterned paper design and is topped off with a lovely chipboard frame that is popped up so a photo can easily be slipped into it! Underneath is a series of photo flips made with the 4x6 journal cards! I highlighted each of the backs of the journal cards with stickers and sentiments and finished off the section with a double frame that is also photo ready!

The album closes easily but I added a decorative band that wraps around it for a bit of extra design. It is embellished with an adorable layered sticker, a chipboard heart and a sweet decorative brad.The final flourish is a dangling charm made with the tags, stickers and decorative brads of this splendid and loaded collection.
