Live For Today by Dorymar Perez!
It's Dorymar here today and I'm sharing a Snap Album with you using Simple Vintage Garden District [1] collection. I wanted to create something different for this album. I love using collections like this because they make my creativity fly. I am fascinated by working with bright and colorful collections, but this collection is different, it is full of pastel colors, butterflies, flowers and many vintage patterns. This is another style that I love working with, vintage, shabby chic style where I can incorporate different textures into my album.
For the cover, I incorporated many textures with the beautiful patterned paper from the collection. I mixed up lace, burlap, stencil paste, orange blossoms, and doilies. I added layers using some chipboard stickers [2] and bits & pieces [3] from the collection.
For the different spreads, I used only the snap dividers and make a beautiful vintage look with many layers, lace, and textures. I ripped the edges of some pieces of paper and added some different patterns behind the photo mats. I feel like the papers from this collection go together very well with all the things I added to create this project.
Below you can see in detail some close ups from the album. This collection has so many beautiful elements, that when you create a cluster around the photo mats to decorate, they create an exquisite and wonderful look.
I used an edge punch in combination with the solid papers [4] in the collection to create another lace style. Layering different elements on my page created a wonderful dimension and gives it a beautiful texture when using different pieces.
I prepared these pieces you see below to insert them in my 6x8 pocket pages, what I do with them is reduce the pocket pages to their size and this gives a different touch to my project.
Here is another close-up, you can see the ripped edges. I added some pop dots underneath to create more shadows and dimension.
I love personalizing my pocket pages, below you can see how I incorporated the beautiful pieces of the collection with the journaling cards [5] to create beautiful designs around my photo mats.
The Simple Vintage Garden District [6] collection encapsulates everything we love about Spring with its color palette and beautiful, vintage look. It was so much fun creating this album!
