have you heard or seen the tuesday tutorial's over ali edwards blog every week? well, one of my fellow making memories design team girls is lucky enough to be hosting this:
wilna furstenberg has such an artsy, cute style that has always intriqued me. so when she asked for a few volunteers to do a test run of her tutorial for her, i was totally up for it. i had no clue what it was about until i said "yes". then i saw "starbucks" and was excited. this was a new twist to the starbucks album idea, since she had created another super cute version a while back. go check out all the info and downloads HERE.
this album was made using a tall starbucks coffee cup. isn't it the cutest thing? this is a great little album to document your love of starbucks and the people you like to enjoy your starbucks with. i usually drink mine alone, at the house, while working. although i do have my starbucks addict friends, that i talk about starbucks and how happy it makes us. lol!
i followed wilna's tutorial for just about every part of this album. there were a few things i didn't do. like the stitching. that would be super cute on there, but i'm not a stitcher. and the binding part. i didn't have the adhesive that she mentioned, so i just sort of winged putting this all together. my spine of the album isn't perfect, but it's all good. i used elastic cording to hold the pages in place, and then tied ribbons along the edge. for my photos, i just used a few shots of myself. and my starbucks. not a lot of deep journaling. just a few fun notes. and i also added a few of my old gift cards in, just because i've been holding onto them forever. and then added some random embellishments here and there. here's the inside pages.
it's such an artsy little album, that sits up on the top of my scrap shelf now. just for fun and i love it. wilna put a ton of work into this, and i think she did a fabulous job. so please go check it out and give it a try. all the info is HERE on ali's blog. and then go check out wilna's blog HERE, to see the other designers that she asked to play along, find the link to the flickr gallery to see our projects, and to also leave her a sweet comment to be entered in a drawing for some making memories goodies!
