Album for Sam

Hiya
 
Here are pictures of an album that I made for Sam.  She said she wanted a surprise and I really really hope that she likes it.  It's a paper bag album and uses the Graphic 45 papers from the Secret Garden collection.
 
 
This is the front cover.  Covered in I am Roses flowers, Wild Orchid Craft flowers held together with brads and covered in Stickles.
 
 
Inside the front cover a big pocket with a note from me and some tags.
 
 
 
 
The first page has a fold out pocket that ties at the bottom.  I stamped onto some white flowers and cut up some flowers to make butterflies.  I found some skeleton leaves half white half purple, really pretty.
 
 
 
The first double page spread has pockets and tags.
 
 
 
The next spread has pockets.  They have been stamped with a T!m Holtz stamp that is my favourite.  The pockets hold small tags, also stamped.
 
 
 
More tag pages.
 
 
 
Picture mats with stamping and Prima Bling.
 
 
 
More tag pages.
 
 
Oops, wrong way round.  Back page.
 
 
Back page of cover. Gate fold picture mat and flowers and bling.
 
 
Tags from the tag pages.
 
 
Backs of the tags.
 
I just need to get a box big enough to send it off.  I picked one up this morning but it was too small. I hope you like it Sam.

It's been forever...........

Hiya Peeps!!

I know its been a long time since I posted anything but I have been under the weather for ages.  I finally have a good amount of time to sit down, without interruption, and get things said.  I have completed a few projects recently but lost my mojo for a bit.  It has finally resurfaced and it's all thanks to a YouTube session watching all my favourite crafters.  I don't know where it went to but it's back!  About time too methinks!!

Here is a swap mini that I made using the Graphic 45 Place In Time paper.  I used the 8x8 and 12x12 pads.  It was made for a fellow crafter in America as a swap.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It took me forever to get these in order.  I had fun making this album.  It seemed to take a long time but I wanted to get it right.  Here is the album that my partner made for me.
 
 
It is beautiful and so different even though we used the same papers.
 
 
I hope you have been well.
