“Canvas Sampler Album”

By Lisa M. Pace

 You will alter the cover of this unique 5” square canvas binder album with mini chipboard tags covered with images of vintage ledger paper, sheet music, book pages and gorgeous fine silver German glass glitter covered embellishments. The inside of the album is covered with images of vintage bingo cards and includes two canvas pockets that have been altered with crocheted doilies, trim and burlap accents. These canvas pockets are perfect to hold any of your small mementos and memorabilia. There are 3 pages perfect for covering with photos (6 photos total) of your favorite vintage items, heritage family photos or images of your everyday life. This album can be any theme you decide. I think it would be a wonderful “All About Me” album.

Each kit includes step-by-step instructions with color photos for those that like to recreate projects exactly as shown. I just don’t want you creative rebels that like to do your own thing to feel as though you are locked into my design. This is not the case. You will be able to create the cover as you wish since you will have plenty of mini chipboard tags to create your own sampler design.

For those who do not care to use glitter, please feel free to opt out as I understand not everyone loves glitter as much as I do. You can leave your bird cage and heart chipboard embellishments covered with silver ink as provided. Your finished album cover will be perfect either way.
