Hi! This is Sara from www.sarawandrews.com with a quick mini album to share.
I don't think I've had this much fun crafting in a long time. Also,I think I giggled through the whole process.
It all started with the purchase of the DCWV the Snapshot Stack. I love this stack. I love the colors, the prints and of course the camera images. So when I had to come up with a project to share here, I decided to make this a family affair. I wanted to have snapshots of the kids and me just having some good old, silly fun.
And what's more fun than making your 13 year olds wear funny looking hats, glasses and mustaches while posing with a giant Polaroid cut out?
I know NOTHING! Right?
My props~
I used various images from my Cricut Imagine collection to make my props with the Hello Speech Bubble being my absolute favorite.
With all the options found on the Best Friends cartridge I could have made an entire wardrobe, but I think I'll save that for next time.
The Mustaches and Glasses Digital Cartridge was perfect for this as well. Those glasses were super easy to assemble.
I simply adhered all of the images on to wood skewers with Glossy Accents.
My album~
My album pages are 5 x 6" giving me plenty of room for multiple pictures and embellishments.
I printed all of my pictures as 3 x 3", so they could easily be trimmed to fit into the glittered Polaroid paper found in the stack.
I have to tell you that I am still giggling at these pictures.So, I think that means this project was a success! Plus, I have some pretty embarrassing pictures of the kids to use in the future if needed.
