Considering chipboard albums have been so hot I guess I’m kind of late on the trend. This is the first chipboard album I’ve done. Actually, my girls helped a whole lot. So, I tried to make it a very simple design, using a purse album from Michael’s dollar bin.

First we applied the solid pastel papers with a sparkly Modge Podge. Then we applied the photos with some flower stickers and photo corners with a glossy Modge Podge. The frames were cut with the Cricut Zoobaloo cartridge but they ended up taking up too much room so we just snipped the corners off.

I’m wondering how long it will take for the Modge Podge to cure?! The “Sparkle” coats were still tacky enough that the pages would stick when we applied the photos with the clear glossy layer. Here the pages are drying in the laundry room over night. I was happy they were “dry enough” to give to Grammy the next morning!

It was a hit with Grammy, we still need to finish Granny’s! Both girls loved “painting” the glue! I’m looking forward to coming up with more crafts to do this summer. They like working at their little craft table while mommy is working at the big table.
