Chic Pink & Black Edgy Chipboard Scrapbook Album

I love pink, white and black together. I don't know what it is about the combination, but I absolutely love it! I have had this paper for some time now and when I purchased this Bo Bunny Edgy album, I knew this is what I wanted to use the paper for.

It turned our really chic looking and I love it. I didn't put a title on it because I wasn't sure what I wanted to theme it. There are so many themes that could fall under these color choices: Bridal Shower, Wedding, Baby Girl, Best Friends, Mother's Day, Sisters... well, I could go on and on. So, rather than commit to a title, I left room on the cover for a title to be chosen or customized. I thought that would be best.

The album is 6x12 in size. Each page sports a different decorative edge. There are 15 photo mats, ranging in different sizes up to a full 4x6 and there are 3 journaling tags and 1 book plate for adding in names, dates, places, etc.

I uploaded a ton of photos, so let's get to them!

HELLO KITTY Premade Scrapbook/Brag Book

I absolutely love Hello Kitty. I have since I was a little girl. It was my favorite thing, when I was little, to go into the Sanrio store, find the Hello Kitty erasers- you know the ones that smelled like bubble gum? Take the lids off and just breath in. That is the best scent in the world and even as I type about it, I can smell it! Yummy!

Anyways, I have had the idea for this brag for a little while now and actually got it all put together about a month ago. As I am still on the road to recovery, it is obviously taking me about 3 1/2 weeks longer to get things done. I am glad to finally blog it!

The album is about 5" high and about 7" wide, including the whiskers. The core is chipboard. I used heavy, textured card stock on the the outsides of it. The bow is 3D. Inside you will find adorable Hello Kitty printed papers with embellishments, most of which are popped up using 3D pop dots. There are 11 photo mats ranging from 2"x2" to 3.5"x3.5". There are 6 chipboard pages, 12 front and back, including front and back covers.


Here's a look at the entire album:


You can that the bow is popped up from this angle.


Red, black and white ribbons embellish the 2" ring that holds the album together.


Pages 1 and 2

The pink rick-rack with the daisy is so girly!


"It's always nice to share a smile"

Pages 3 and 4


"You can never have too many friends" Epoxy sticker. The flowers are glittered and popped up. Gem stones are at the corners of these and ALL of the mats.



Hello Kitty is popped up, too.

Pages 5 and 6


Circles are popped up. Notice the little Hello Kitty tags that hang from the ribbon.




Pages 7 and 8


Again, Hello Kitty is popped up. All of your photos will easy slide under the mat embellishments. The flowers are glittered and have a gem center.


"Smile!"


Pages 9 and 10



"Hearts and flowers brighten my day"


"Best Friends"


The back looks like the back of Hello Kitty's head, bow included.




So, there it is. My girls absolutely love it! I actually have the supplies to make 2 more and can't wait to get to work on them!
