On The Boardwalk With Generations Crafting!!!

When I received this fantastic paper pack by Graphic 45 from Generations Crafting I just could not stop looking at all the fun double sided papers!!! They are so nostalgic.....from newsprint page, vintage photo designs and fantastic colors and patterns there is something in this stack for everyone to love....my delightful challenge....what to create with it....so this is what I came up with.....

I used an inexpensive child's board book to create my mini Boardwalk full of pages to capture fun memories....I could easily fill this mini with beach pix, vintage photos. or just fun family snapshots...still not sure which I will choose.

I covered the book with a fun filled paper with cheerful photos and colors. The title is just one of the fun borders that is a part of this pack. I used some of the vintage photo tags to embellish the top of a larger interior tag and added some Prima flowers and a fun shell to the cover.

Aren't these photo tags just the bomb!!!! Love them! I also added some circles cut from of the scraps I had left from making the album...such fun patterns!

I used sandpaper to created my pocket on this page....gotta love that bathing beauty tag not to mention the other ladies hanging out on the beach...I used another of the border pieces along the side of the page to add a title. the the top of the page you can see the back of an old clip on earring...I will use it to hold a photo.

These pages have lots of room for photos or journaling....I have to share the link I used for this fabulous envelope page...check out this super fun tutorial by Laura from Following The Paper Trail
The shell was cut with my Ocean of Words cart and opens...you will see that soon.....

Check out this fantastically fun paper....I could not bring myself to add more that some eyelash yarn.......lots of room for photos here....I may not add much at all...could not bear to cover up those 3 handsome gents in the corner!

Here I have added an envelope with a brad and floss closure...the envelope is cut from Plantin...there are more photo mats hiding inside. The frames are covered with more paper from the stack...and those fun tickets....don't for get to click to enlarge the photos...they are actually a border on one of the papers...I love the look of them!!!!

The last 2 pages are covered in fantastic designs....I used my Mickey and Friends cart to cut eh film frames, added some more of the tags from the stack and a bright Prima with a starfish bling as a center.

Here is a view of the envelope open with the additional photo mats....oh and did I say WOW....I just adore this beautiful orange lace ribbon by Prima!

I sniped a scrap from one of the post card pages.....I placed it inside of a clear adhesive tab.

A pic of the shell opened up...don't know if you can see it in the pic but the two inside pages have been embossed with my Cuttlebug. The tags from the envelope page have some fiber and I added a shell to the smaller of the two...the post card is cut from one of the papers...it is accented with a paperclip with some buttons glued to the top.

One last shot of the the fun, fun tags from the 1st page.

All of the papers except for the plain white and black card stack are from the On The Boardwalk paper stack...it is filled with fun xtras....the tags and borders...pop over and pay Floren a visit....along with Graphic 45 and Prima she has so much scrappy goodness @ her online store Generations Crafting!

Hope you enjoyed the mini....cya soon~
