Greetings everyone. Today is something different for me. While my computer was down-I worked on this project all week. Boy did I have fun. This is my first chipboard album and one I had the idea for now for over a year.
This is Emma in the Strawberry Patch digi set from Fred She Said. There are not a lot of strawberry themed scrapbooking items in the stores so I got real creative. If you would like to see the inside of this album with all the recipes and details you can watch a video on my blog. http://chocolatecraftsandbearsohmy.b...d-emma-in.html
As you can see this is the cover. I made a charm out of the digital image with a Tim Holtz Fragment and attached to a Tim Holtz Swivel. The ribbon is from a box of Godiva Chocolates I got back in 2009. The glitter paper is from Recollection. I cut the "Strawberries" sentiment with Swirls and Curls Alphabet die set from cuttlebug. The green die cut was cut from a Flourishes Sizzix die. The strawberries are part of this digi set. I covered them in crystal effects. This was distressed inked with Rangers Worn Lipstick. Diamond Stickles was used on the edges.
Thanks for taking a look. This was my first chipboard album but now will not be my last. I have an idea for another one that I have been assembling ingredients for. Have a great day and thanks for your comments.

I was flabergasted when I saw the time and detail you put into this Bearzi. I can't even imagine creating this in my lifetime. It is beyond words. Your details, sparkle and even your personality show in your work. AWESOME!! I liked hearing your voice on the tutorial. I'm going to try the flowers as soon as I can!!!
