Day 2: Project #16 Capture Memories Tag Album designed by Sandie Dunne. Her blog is called The Paper Cove and can be found here. Finished project size is 5" x 3-3/4" x 1-1/2".
The cover is embellished with die cut film strips in black and white card stock with a photo square as a mat. There is also a black card stock die cut camera. The stamped message on the flag is oh so appropriate. Die cut two layers of the heart and word "smile", adhere for that finished chipboard look on the flap. The flap has a magnetic closure and slips behind popped Marci image.
Marci is popped with foam squares. Original design is a black and white coloration. I chose to Copic color Marci for this projects. Color details used:
Hair: W2, W4, W6, W8
Hat, Shoes, Purse: E37, E31, E35, E41
Face: R11, R20, E000, E00, E11
Top: BG000, BG45, BG49
Skirt: W0, W2, W4
Back view:
On top of the project is a crushed vanilla seam binding and twine embellishment. Use a Crop-o-Dile to punch holes through all the layer of paper.
Slide open the magnetic closure flap:
........to reveal six top loading pockets. Each pocket has a different pattern paper.
On top of each pocket is a stamped "Date taken".
The mat inside the pocket has a die cut 1-1/2" Stitched Circle with a twine. The binding method used for this project I believe, is called a "hidden hinge" since the pages are secured in between the pockets.
Here's a side view:

Stamps used: Marci with Camera, Photo Elements Stamp Set
Dies used: Stitched Circles, Photo Elements, Smile

Day 2: Project #15 Cupcake Princess Marci Album Box designed by Irina Blount (Owner and Queen Designer) of La-la Land Crafts. See the LLC Blog here with lots of inspiration and ideas. This is an album with two drawers attached to the back cover. Album pages are Kraft card stock base. Project size finishes 8-3/4" x 6-1/2" x 2-7/8". There are lots of die cut embellishment on the cover and spine. Note the metal embellishment on the top right and right bottom corners. Lots of photos below with details of the dies used. And, I mean there are lots!!!!
Here's a side view showing the spine: a row of decorative paper, a row of lace then on top a row of sheer roses. Oh yes, a couple die cut Stitched Circles and Stitched Scallop Boarder on each side of the lace with a metal embellishment secured by brads. the metal embellishment needed to be cup to fit across the spine.
On the front, two die Teacups: adhere one to light weight chipboard on top of a white doily. Use a bone folder to shape the cup so it is no longer flat, then secure to the front. You can see the Stitched Scallop Border on both Teacup Edges. A few paper roses/calla lilies and die cut paper Rolled Roses further embellish the larger Teacup. The second teacup sits on top of the larger one. Die cut Fancy Butterfly sits on top of a die cut Fancy Butterfly in pink vellum card stock on the smaller Teacup - then add adhesive pearls as a finishing touch.
On the right front is a faux closure: metal embellishment secured with brads and a metal ring handle. This sits on top of the die cut Stitched Circles which wrap around to the inside front cover.
On the top left side is a metal Tea- spoon wrapped with a crumpled seam binding and a twine bow : a perfect embellishment for this album box. Notice the smaller sizes Stitched Circles position here, too? They also wrap around to the inside cover.
Cupcake Princess Marci is popped with foam squares. She sits on top of the die cut Diamond Doily Border, Heart Fence and Grass.
Copic original colors used changed to the following:
Hair: W2, W4, W6, W8
