Denim Display Album for Scrapalicious

One of my favourite projects for the Scrapalicious booth at Scrapfest is this denim display book from Chatterbox. The album has denim covers, comes in a canvas bag, and a display stand is also available. I loved the idea of mucking up the covers with lots of paint, crackle paint and embellishments from the recent Chatterbox releases. I also used Rock Candy on the cork scallop trim at the top, which made it look a bit like worn leather.
I decided to create an engagement album for this couple that I shot engagement photos for a few years back. I left all of the journaling spots blank so that they can fill in their own sentiments and thoughts on each page. I'm not sure how soon I'll have an opportunity to give this to them, but I like it a lot and hope they will too. I thought a grungy, distressed style went well with the casual attire they wore for the shoot.
Since this album flips upward, I left most of the B sides blank, but I wanted to do something fun with them. I covered each back with alabaster artsy.licious lacquered paper, and sprayed each with a different colour of Maya Mist, then aged each page with ink and paint.
The pages are a wonderful, versatile size (approx. 5.5" square), and work really well with multiple, wallet-sized photos, a 4 x 6 photo, or a square photo. If you are local, drop by Scrapalicious and take a look. The photos really don't do this album justice. The photo at left is also one of my favourite pictures from that shoot. It was Thanksgiving Monday, the leaves had just turned beautifully, and the air was so very positive and optimistic.


You can view the album in its entirety in the slide presentation below. Click on the window to view at full size.

You can also see posts about this engagement shoot, the wedding photos I took at their beach wedding (where I was not the official wedding photographer), as well as a wedding mini-album I made for them in previous posts.

A page I made with a wedding photo was also published in Canadian Scrapbooker magazine. You can read about it here.

I'll be posting more from the Scrapalicious booth at Scrapfest soon, so check back.
