Retro Summer - Ice Cream Truck

 Hello again, this month I have the colourful, vibrant and fun Simple Stories Retro Summer to work with.  For my first project all I could think about was the make a little ice cream van that housed some photos.  This collection made this project a piece of cake!

Firstly I used an ice cream truck cut file from Silhouette Studio to make the ice cream truck.  I used Bazzill Mauve Ice for the base, then cut decorative pieces using Two Scoops, I Scream You Scream and Lazy Days.  I admit that I do find assembling these little projects quite fiddly, however this truck came together quickly and easily.  

I noticed the cut file didn't seem to include a central section for the ice cream truck which would have meant that I couldn't put my photos inside.  I simply measured and cut a piece of card to fit inside and voila a vehicle to hold photos!  I added some stickers from the sticker book for the "number plates" and lots of nuvo drops to make sprinkles on top of the ice cream.

I then took a strip of tags from the Tag Elements sheet of paper and accordian folded them to create a very simple album to put inside the truck.  I used some stickers from the sticker book to add a little decoration to the photographs but I wanted to keep it quite simple.  I added two tab stickers from the sticker book as a little tab to be able to take the album from the truck.

I hope you enjoyed seeing an alternative way to scrapbook your photos.  I think this would make a lovely gift for someone too.  Join me later this month when I make a mini album from ephmera!
