2 For You Tuesday - divided by 2 - Part 2
As I said in my last post, this one is a long one, so grab your cuppa and settle in for a while!

JACKSONBELLE EMBELLISHMENTS - JBE030
~~~
I fell in love with the Memory Box Gingercake papers the instant I saw them and placed an order right away with Lindsey at Jacksonbelle Embellishments. I knew right away what I would use them for…. a December daily album for my daughter’s family a la Ali Edwards.
Our design team challenge this week was to use a Jacksonbelle Embellishments product that you love, so I’ve been working feverishly all this past weekend to get this project completed so I could show you today. (And wouldn’t you know it, Gingercake is currently out of stock at JBE!)
This is the front cover. It uses the Gingercake papers, of course. I also used Tim Holtz grungeboard - mixed minis for the letters and numbers on the front. They’re painted with Ranger Distress Crackle paint in Shabby Shutters. That is also a Tim Holtz fragment charm behind the star clip. The felt trees are from American Crafts Holiday House and I’m not sure where the vine felt border sticker is from.
I won’t bore you with all the details on the inside pages. There are too many products and companies represented to mention them all, but I would be glad to answer any questions you may have about product. Just leave a comment or email me.
I have to explain the last page - the one for December 26. I added that page because one of the Christmas gifts I’m giving their family is a package of tickets to see the WWE in Charlotte on the 26th. The boys are HUGE wrestling fans - even dressed up as wrestlers for Halloween. I know they’re going to have a blast and I wanted to give them an extra place to put photos from that day as well.
Here are some extra pages that are now inserted in the book to be used for extra photos and journaling. I’m quite pleased with how it turned out and I hope they will be too!
Thanks so much for visiting today and spending all that time looking!
See you tomorrow for the Color Throwdown challenge and the Rubbernecker Blog challenge. I’m hosting both of them!
