Polaroid Camera

Hi Everyone!

I'm SO super excited about my new Custom Polaroid Camera Die that I designed with AccuCut Custom Shape Pros. I've been wanting to create this die for long time and wasn't sure what took me so long. Heehee My inspiration for creating this die was, I have an old photo of my dad with my brothers and sister when we were younger and its the only photo I have of the five of us. My dad had a Polaroid camera and took a lot of pictures using it. This happens to only be the one I have and I cherish it dearly. I had the photo for a long time that the top layer of the Polaroid film tore off, but I managed to save it and scan it on my computer. You can see the cracks in between the picture. I just love this photo so much. Creating this camera was a perfect way for me to capture the same special memories of my family that I can keep for a long time and not worry about the top layer peeling off. This way I can add any of my favorite photos and just layer the Polaroid Film die cut on top. Its even cuter when you add design paper. I can also stamp, emboss, paint and so much more on it. I was lucky enough to find an old Polaroid at my local Antique store, but wow I can't believe how much the film cost now a days. Now, I can have as many pictures as I want. I created two different sizes and thought it would be also cute to have a smaller size to accent on my pages. I always love to create a cover for my custom dies and the great thing is that I can use this die in so many ways. Below are several projects I created using my Polaroid Camera Die.

Here's the picture of my dad, Chris, Allan, Rachel and me when we were younger. Check out our groovy couch in the background. Heehee


I wanted to create an actual Polaroid Camera and this was fun to make. The collection I used is Bo Bunny Country Garden.

I thought it would be fun to create a card and have the Polaroid Film come out as if a picture was just taken. The collection I used for this project was Colorbok Antique Paperie.


Of course I just had to create a mini album. I brought three of my girls to the park and had a fun picnic. These pictures where just perfect for this mini. The three collections I used were My Minds Eye Be Happy, Howdy Doody and Bo Bunny Country Garden.
