#G45PopUp Challenge: Ukulele & Mini-Mini Album with PopUp Using “Tropical Travelogue”

I designed and created this project for the September Graphic 45 Challenge, #G45PopUp. The gorgeous papers in the Tropical Travelogue collection brings the spirit of Hawaii and a tropical paradise, and thus my inspiration for the ukulele. The project is also an homage to the close of summer.

The overall project is approximately 13” H and 1 ½” wide. It features a mini-mini album, and of course, the popup element for the challenge.

Paper Phenomenon “Flight 2715” Flight Bag and Mini Album

Super exited to share with you my latest project design. I am calling this a flight bag because my inspiration came from the lovely paper collection “Flight 2715” from Paper Phenomenon. Kathy King and DeeDee Catron really out did themselves with this beautiful collection.

Flight2715a

The flight bag I designed features 360-degree swivel wheels, and pullup luggage handle, coordinating mini album, and gusseted accordion pockets on the front and back.

The bag is constructed of chipboard and Kraftex. I stitched the zipper using a mini craft sewing machine from Dressmaker. The buckle hardware is from Tim Holtz and the luggage tag is cut file from Silhouette. The “bling” on the flight bag is an assortment from my jewelry making supplies.

The mini album measures 6.5” x 8” with a 1.5” spine and is a gatefold design. The album features six pocket pages with photo mats and lots of places for photos, keepsakes, and memorabilia.

You can find a list of some of the resources used in this project below.

Stair Buckets

We now live in a two-story home. I wanted to create a container to bring items up or down the stairs (husband request :).

IMG_6269

I found these galvanized buckets with handle cutouts, at Michael’s at a 70% discount (roughly $7.50 each). I base coated the buckets in black chalk paint then used vinyl (from my own supplies) and printable vinyl from Silhouette Design Store to print the lettering and flowers (print and cut file #11704).

I am making two, each with the “Going Up and Coming Down”. That way there will be a rotation each time a bucket goes up or down.
