Tattered Angels and Prima Blog Relay- RAK

It's time again for another Tattered Angels and Prima Blog relay! This time... it is my turn (for real this time!). For this weeks project I created a Love Story Journal for my Grandmother. My Grandfather passed away a few years back, and I often realize just how much I miss him. I can only imagine what my grandmother feels, so I created this journal for her to use to record any little moments that she may not want to forget. This is also a great way for my children to know a little more about them. For this journal I used the Tattered Traveler album. I used Creme de Chocolate, Creme de rouge, Wheatfields, Bronze, coffee shop, and Tattered Leather Glimmer Mist. For this pic you can see that I cut down the acetate that traditionally sits on top of the album. I really wanted to keep the back the beautifully misted chipboard, so I used the acetate as an accent. I also used the Creme De Rouge ephemera regal glimmer chips for the frame. The Prima embellisments totally give this album a beautifully elegant vintage feel.

Here are some close ups of the regal frame that I used, I layered it with stickles and then mist over it with wheatfields and Creme de rouge glimmer mist.

This is one of my favorite parts of the album. Since this album is using a vintage picture of my grandparents on their wedding day, I used two of the Tattered Angels pocket watch framed font alphabet chips and cut off the top of the pocket watch to create two rings. I misted with wheatfields and accentuated the embossing with Creme de Chocolate. I layered Prima Galaxy stars misted with Creme De rouge, prima rose buds and prima petite fleurs.

This is a close up of the title, I layered some of Primas new vintage print flowers and centered them with a regal FDL chip. I really like the idea of using hte flowers as a bed for embellishing rather than always centering them with traditional centers. I also cut out some of Prima's stitched paper and ruffled the edges with glimmer mist.
