Album Inspiration

I made this album for someone. The front is not attached, as I wasn't sure what picture she would put on the front, so I left that for her to do. (Thats why it's crooked:-)

Loved the colors of this one. One of my faves I think!

Another I made for someone, for Fathers Day. It was being given to a man, so I re-worked the ribbon idea, so it doesn't close with a bow...it's velcro! I also used hemp instead of ribbon inside too, just to increase the masculine feel of it. I really like how it turned out!
Excuse the sticky notes, they were in place to give pointers about what to do with the pictures, where to put them etc.

Family Art

I made this 'family' art to go in a frame I already had. Adorable decor, for next to nothing!

This incorporates almost every technique possible! It was so fun to make. It took me a few hours on Saturday afternoon, and Sunday afternoon, to get it done. Since I don't have a Big Shot, I cut out everything by hand, and that took some time! The letters are colored chipboard.

In my livingroom. I totally love it!

Tri-Fold Album/Card

This is not really an album, and not really a card either. It has some room for pictures and journalling. It would be perfect for a wedding, new baby, anniversary, or similar special occasion. I made this one as a thank you to my family for having us for Christmas this past year.

I saw this/similar online and attempted to recreate it myself. This was my first attempt, and I was pretty happy with the results. In the end, I think I might have used a few too many different paper patterns (might be a little busy), but still, it works. I will re-work it slightly and make it a bit smaller for an upcoming class. Stay tuned!
