It's always fun to be able to combine a variety of products and techniques to create and today I'm doing just that! I'm playing with a variety of StencilGirl stencils, Sizzix Die Cuts and Eileen Hull stamp designs. You can see the full list of products I used, along with links below.
I decided to make a little memory album for a friend who just had to return her future dog guide puppy for her formal training as a Service Dog (SSD).
I started with the easel. I used spray ink and the Curvy Ladder stencil. I continued to layer on paint using different stencils and stamps, keeping to various blues. My final step was to add some white circles and random rub-on letters.
I used the Dots and Dashes stencil as the initial layer on the memory book cover, layering Bubbles stencil over it. The inside covers were done with the Inside Out stencil and off prints using the Dots and Dashes again. The accent pieces were painted with a brush and then I doodled on them using permanent black and white pens.

It was fun selecting the photos to used in the book. I had them printed at a Kodak kiosk for a great price. This is a really freeing exercise since you can go ahead and cut up the photos, knowing that they can be worked around other features on the page. Some pages invited a bit of hand lettering to comment on the images.
