A few months ago, when my Son told me his Senior Prom was going to be March 7th, I thought it was strange to be having it so early. But then the state of Nevada went into quarantine the very next weekend, so I'm so happy and thankful that he had that experience, unlike so many others during these times. He had such a great time, so I wanted to preserve those memories for him in this 6" X 6" mini album. Part of his graduation gifts, which was just a couple of days ago, and one that he will always cherish!
The original accordion album was old and ugly, so I covered it with a coat of black gesso and Emerald Creek (Black Cherry) Aroma Embossing Powder. The chipboard letters also got black gesso, and were embossed with EC (Midnight Sparkle) EP.
I was so pleased with my first order @ Creative Embellishments, and my first project was this 2020 Shaker, window included! After coating all of the pieces with white gesso, the back piece was embossed with EC (Midnight Sky) EP, and the sides and top pieces with EC (Silver Sparkle) EP. Then I filled it with blue and silver confetti. Silver Sparkle Embossing Powder was also used on the base with the pearl, super glued over a metal flower, with silver elastic cording to hold it all together.
Now for the inside! The first two pages were made with some sprays and a stencil to replicate ripples, embossed with Emerald Creek (Fractured Ice) EP.
The wooden camera was covered with black gesso and Finnabair Metallique Wax (Old Silver).
I used EC (Midnight Sky) Embossing Powder again on the date, and paper edges behind the middle photo.
A staple was added to the ribbons.
The next two pages were also done with sprays (Lindy's Afternoon Delight Denim and Blueprint Sketch Distress Spray Stain).
The stars were done with the Tim Holtz (Falling Stars) Stencil using Dylusions (After Midnight) Paint with a Mini Blending Tool.
Then I used the same paint to mask a strip of drywall tape across the bottom.
To add more photos, I made some tags with pockets made from black cardstock and the Tim Holtz (Stripes) Stencil, embossed with EC (Silver Sparkle) Embossing Powder.
Both tags were covered with colored tissue papers, and stamped with the Prima (Art Daily Planner Collection) Stamp Set, embossed with Emerald Creek (Onyx Frost) and (Hammered Metal) Embossing Powders.
The last two pages are on the back.

Lots of stamping and stencil work on these pages, with EC (Silver Sparkle) Embossing Powder around the edges and matting a couple of the photos.
The chipboard music note had been in my stash for awhile, and was previously painted with glossy black paint.
Thanks for looking, and hope you're doing well!
