Bolivia ... by Guest Designer Marcie Nowell
Saturday, May 02, 2009Welcome to Bolivia! I don't know about you ... but this is my first time here!
How about the AWESOME page above! Would you believe that Marcie MADE this page from one of our TAC Stamp Clam Shells. It is so sturdy and LOOKS so INCREDIBLE. Especially in person!
And the embossing on the chipboard JUST amazes me! It looks like GLASS!
I LOVE the 4 feet theme!
This is the BACK of the album page.
This next page is a favorite! I think you'll find throughout this album that it looks pretty intimidating to re-create, however, start breaking it down and you'll discover that the Genius is in the Details!
Like these details! Notice the way Marcie threaded the buttons. And did you see the stamping?!
I LOVE how Marcie incorporated stitching on this page!
This next page is another FAVORITE!
Notice the stitching!
I shot this one on the side because I needed to get a handle on the stitching so I could re-create this effect!
Here Marcie used a scrap of Clear Acetate. She attached it by sewing it on the page.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
I would have been so afraid to punch through the flower. In the album this looks so natural! You don't even notice there is a binder ring going through the flower itself! And I LOVE how the ribbon softens the hardware.
Again ... DETAILS!
This actually stops and somehow Marcie designed it so that you CAN'T pull it out all of the way. So SMART! And I SO LOVE it on the bottom of the page!
Here is the back of the page. Break the page down and you'll notice it is pretty simple and not as intimidating as we think. It's the amazing details that polish it!
Like this DeTaiL!
And did you notice that for this layout Marcie used a piece of Winchester to mat her photographs. What a GREAT idea!
We also LoVe how Marcie incorporated her memorabilia throughout the album. PRiCeLeSS!
Until tomorrow ... Happy Paper Crafting!
