I had the pleasure of working with the new
This is my finished album.
I used a variety of embellishments as finishing
touches on my cover including the beautiful
Here is a little of the journey on how
I completed my album.....
The XL Scoreboard dies work wonderfully in
my Big Shot using the Little Sizzles 6 x 13
Double-sided Mat Board. When you run the
die through the machine, the binding border
makes the necessary scores that fold so easily.
Of course, you can use the Scoreboard dies
with your favorite cardstock and designer paper too.
I then decided to use Glimmer Mist to create
the color for my binding. I ended up not using
the rectangular frame and opted for a metal one.
The instructions included show you how to create
the accordion folds for the inside which will then
hold your album pages. You can add as many as
you like to create a custom album.
Here is the outside of the album's binding.
The most difficult part is deciding the theme you
would like to include and creating the cover....
but of course, it's the most fun part as well!
Here are a few more photos
of the detailed embellishments...

Now here are a few details on how this blog
hop will work over the next 6 weeks....
FAQ about the Fresh Vintage Blog Hop:
How do I hop around to see ideas
using the current featured die?
Every Tuesday and Thursday between
September 27-November 3, 2011
there will be a new Sizzix Fresh Vintage die featured
on 6-10 participating designers' blogs.
The navigation buttons for "Hop Back" and "Hop Forward"
will allow you to easily
hop around and see projects featuring whatever the
current die is, since those buttons are
programmed to navigate
only to the blogs that are participating for
that die. On the next Tuesday/Thursday, the buttons will
automatically reprogram themselves to navigate to the blogs
that are signed up for the next featured die.
What if I start at a designer's blog that isn't one of the 6-10
signed up for
that die?
No problem! Simply hit either the
"Hop Forward" or "Hop Back"
button on the Fresh Vintage navigation widget from any blog's sidebar and you'll automatically
advance to one of the participating blogs.
Can I go back and view the ideas for a
previously featured die?
Of course! Go to Eileen Hull's blog and find the
Fresh Vintage Permalinks button on her "Blog Hops" page.
It will bring up her blog posts where you'll find
direct links to each participating blog along with a
thumbnail image of the project.
