Covering a Custom Album
You all might remember the album I made a while back. I promised to show you all how I covered it and I finally had a chance to sit down and record it. :)Please excuse the randomness of the video! :) I had no idea how I wanted to decorate the album, so I totally changed my mind mid-stream and had to improvise a bit to get it the way I wanted it. But it all turned out in the end.
The album is by Secret Scrapper, which was started by my cousin Mandy. She's the cutest girl you've ever seen and I love her to death. When I we were in Vegas last February I asked if she could make me an album like this and she said yes! So, I'm not sure if it's at her online store yet, but I'm pretty sure she'll be selling this exact album soon. Right, Mandy? ;)
I'll be sure to let you all know when you can buy one, too!
Anyway, on to the photos and video! Enjoy!

How cool is this! I was just looking at your blog just a few seconds ago and then i refreshed the page and next thing I see is that you posted something new! NEATO!! And top of that.....yey! Im numbero UNO!!! Hey, Hey!! hahaha! J/K, but i thought it was funny!
ok! Have a TERRIFIC WEEKEND and ENJOY the FIREWORKS!!!
:o)
This is such a neat idea. Thanks for sharing this with us. HAVE A GREAT 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND AND ENJOY ALL THE PRETTY FIREWORKS! :O)
This is great Kristina!! I am not very "crafty" and wondered how to cover an album. Now I will definitely be giving it a try! I love your tutorials and I have learnt a lot from watching them.
Have a wonderful weekend. We don't celebrate the 4th of July here in Australia.
Hey Kristina, Great job on the album, even when you make an error, it still looks good. Any plans of you coming to the Carolinas for a convention?
I love it. I like that you changed your mind. You gave us two ideas. Thanks. Enjoy your holiday.
awesome album! and thanks for starting out the day with Pink Moon! :)
I LOVE this, Kristina! Can't wait to make one of my own!
That is a great album. Thanks for showing us that sometimes you change your mind in mid stream. Many times, I find as my crafting unfolds, I change my mind it ends up differently than my original idea! LOL.
I love this. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. I'm covering some Basic Grey all chipboard 6x12 albums for my SU! Convention Roomies so this video could not have come at a better time!!! Thanks again! :)
I want one!
What a great idea! So much less pressure and commitment than a huge album... which seem to never get done! Thanks for the video too- so great!
Adorable! yours albuns are as worderful as yours cards.
super cute!! Thanks for sharing, I love your videos!
What a neat idea!! I love this!! Have a happy 4th!!
Absolutely fantastic! I love the final result:)
Love the paper.
I had a few questions. Is the paper a Stampin up design or is Scenic Route it's own company?
Also, I saw a few of the new SU Fall stamp sets and I wanted to know if you designed 2 of them: Fall Flair (Hostess Set, Level 2) and Heard from the Heart.
I LOVE the Heard from the Heart stamp set and can't wait to get it. If you are only able to tell me yes on one of them, then tell me if it is Heard from the Heart.
Have a great 4th and enjoy the fireworks!!

Sarah, Scenic Route is a scrapbooking company. You can see their product at:
http://www.scenicroutepaper.com/
As for the stamp sets, I did not design either of those. They were created by a couple different people I work with. :)
I love love love the scrapbook! I love chipboard books - so if there's anything you can show us or share with us on that please do so!!
Hey Kristina
I love all the things you do, and this album is beautiful.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
Take Care
hey girlie girl :)
thanks for the linkage on your blog! happy to see many trackbacks from here.
hope you're having a great summer. i hear it's very hot out there now, but it's perfect here in chicago... i think you need to come visit ;)
Hi Kristina
Thanks for the great video...especially the tips for the corners.
Can you answer another question that always stumps me.... would you cover chipboard albums/journals the same way, or only cover with paper to the edge?
Thanks again,
Have a great holiday weekend.
Best wishes
Di :)
what a great job; thanks for sharing your creativity with us.
I finished a BoBunny naked binder in May for a trip to Europe and didn't have to punch holes. I'll remember the Crop-a-Dile idea for the next time I need to punch holes through paper and chipboard.

What a nice surprise! That is an adorable book. You make it look so easy. I do not have a CropADile and honestly, I am rather intimidated by them. Like everything else, you make it all look so easy!
Enjoy your long holiday weekend! Happy 4th of July to you!
What was the actual time it took you to complete the album?
Beautiful Album!
Thanks for sharing this
video..you made it look easy :)

Can I take your idea for the one I'm making righ now? It's a Minnie Mouse album (my daughter's 3 years old party) . Thank you... as always... for share all your great work with us.
Regards from México!
I love the way you did this album. Your videos are amazing. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks, I love it! You make it look so easy. I think I just might be able to make one too. Thank you for the videos.
