Traci Reed Creative Team | February Smitten Collection Release!
Hi friends and welcome back! Today on my blog I wanted to share with you the recent creations I made with Traci Reed’s amazing new Smitten digital collection! This collection released at the beginning of February just in time for all the love themed events and pages, and I think these will inspire you to document your favorite memories this month as well! You can purchase the collection and see these layouts, along with the many other incredible layouts from the Creative Team on Traci’s blog here: Introducing the Smitten Digital Collection.
So up first, I made this travelers notebook size mini album, just the foundation pages for now. We have a special date coming up for Valentine’s Day and so I will finish it up after that! I love having the foundation for the album already completed. It allowed me to make decisions about the size, which papers, how to bind it, and after our date is over I can add all the fun details. I started the album with a little plastic envelope (Hobby Lobby) designed for checks or bills. It had a little Velcro closure and I thought if I cut it down and punched it, it would fit some of the travelers notebook signatures in the Smitten collection. And it did! I sized everything down just a bit to just 4.5×7.5″ and then added these adorable tiny little white binder rings (Cocoa Daisy) to hold everything together. So cute!
I don’t have the full process video for the mini album just yet, but I plan to complete it very soon and will share the full details of how it all came together!
My second item I created was this incredible mixed media layout! I went into my Silhouette and created the tiny rectangles to make this heart shape, inspired by a sunburst only heart shaped! I clipped many of the patterned papers to each of the strips and then had the Silhouette print and cut everything out for me. I shared this page on the Traci Reed YouTube hop, which you can see linked here: Smitten YouTube Hop.
