Great Ideas with our Mixed Media Albums!
We are starting a very exciting monthly share here on the blog where you can get great ideas with our Mixed Media Albums! Tati Scrap is an album-making expert and will be sharing great and different ideas each month with our Mixed Media Albums. Then, Solange Marques, our resident Mixed Media Master, will be sharing incredible art journaling pages using the pages in our Mixed Media Albums! It's really going to be a fabulous monthly share, and the fun starts today!
First, Tati Scrap shares a "First Year of Baby" album with our Ivory Mixed Media Album and Precious Memories. This is such a treasure for those early baby memories!
"I have made this album for a Mon called: “ The first year of my baby”
The new Graphic 45 Mixed Media Album are ideal for projects like this…
Each album´s page corresponds to a month of baby life, where you can keep the ecographies, the Baby Shower invitations, pictures to take every month, to write anecdotes, the weight and growth of the baby…
all the things that like the mothers for the baby memories !!
Hope you like the idea!" ~Tati Scrap

Now, Solange shares her first set of Art Journaling pages and a great Snapguide tutorial so you can try your own. We are in love with her inspiration for these and the follow art journals. What a great idea! Read here:
"I Love Mixed Media and I love Graphic 45, then each month I’ll show to you two art journal pages using Graphic 45 products and a lot of mixed media techniques.
I inspired by a project of my friend Larissa Albernaz and I used like theme of my art journal 'ABC of the inspiration'..It's about things that inspire me and each month I'll use one letter. To start ,I used the letter 'A' and for this I chose 'Angels'. I looked for inspiration on images, colors, poems, quotes. Angels are very inspirational and romantic.
I love this phrase from Jose Saramago, a brazilian writer, about angels.
'Only the birds fly, and the angels, and men when they dream ...'
I used a lot of mediums for these pages and I prepared a tutorial on Snapguide. I hope you enjoy it." ~Solange

Beautiful, beautiful! One little detail though:
José Saramago,was a Portuguese writer and recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Literature, not a brazilian writer.
