A Primary Color Coaster Photo Album

Hi everyone! I'm so glad you came by to see my fun little photo album project!

I made this for Carole's DTGD (Dare to Get Dirty) challenge over on Split Coast to use real red, brilliant blue and yo yo yellow on your card. I NEVER use these primary colors!! (at least not together!) and if I think of them I think of little kids and elementary school! - so I decided to make a little photo album out of two 5 3/8 inch by 3 7/8 inch coasters and my Bind It all.I used this fun alphabet designer paper for the covers and this wonderful stamp from the Crafty Secrets 'Story of Me' set that I've had for ages and NEVER INKED yet!! I stamped my image on white, colored it with copics and layered it on red, yellow and blue. I sponged the edges of the covers with Brilliant Blue ink.

I used 3/4 inch Zutter white wire for the binding to be sure to leave enough room for the extra width of pictures that will be added later.

I used real red, yo yo yellow and ballet blue (I had no Brilliant blue) card stock for the pages cut slightly smaller - 5 x 3 1/2.

For the inside of my album I cut a nestability scalloped rectangle and stamped a label from Label Classics to cover the ends of the ribbons as well as provide a place to write in the contents of the album or dates or names etc!

Well - despite using colors I wouldn't usually grab - I do like my little project that I ended up with!! and that's what challenges are all about right?!!
