Unisex baby Paper Bag White album for Robyn

The brief for this album was to create a unisex baby album- as the baby is yet to be born .We came up with the combination of white and a touch of gold. I’ve kept it textural and used a lovely bazzill cardstock call Bling which has a lovely glittery pearl shine to it. There are hints of gold throughout and I’ve used dragonflies as I thought butterflies were maybe a bit too girly. There are metal charm embellishments and I've made a couple of paper flowers too.I dont do traditional "baby" albums- I like to create more spiritual based items- so you wont see any teddy bears and baby carriages here!!

The words I’ve hand stamped stamped and then heat embossed with glitter embossing powder- I’m not sure if you can see it on the photos?? I've also used 2 different embossing folders to make some lovely textures.

Hope you like?

memorial album #2

Memorial album #2 is finished-

This format is 8x8 inches and also has 12 pages- well actually a bit more because I added extra flaps and flip out bits!

Not so flowery this one as its more of a masculine album.

Embossed photo matts are large to fit most size photos- they will look lovely peeking behind precious photo’s

There are a couple of folder pockets for memorabilia as well as the open ends of the bags for cards certificates etc. I have added an extra8 acid free note cards with ruled lines for journaling.

On the inside first page I have added an acrylic flap- which a special photo will look so lovely beneath it!

It reads

LOVE

“The majority of us lead quiet, unhearalded lives as we pass through the world.

There will be no ticker-tape parade for us, no monuments created in our honour.

But that does not lessen our possible impact; for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along:

People who appreciate our compassion, our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have a potential to consider the continuous opportunities there are to make our love felt.”

MIchelle Memorial album for Dannielle

Custom made paper bag album

6x6.5 inch black paper bag album for Dannielle.
I’ve used matt gold metallic paper along with an ivory pearl cardstock.
There’s a hint of patterned paper also throughout the album- some have a tiny bit of high finish gold foiling.
The cover is my favourite bit as it is a flocked raised velvet pattern- I’ve left it blank because I thought you could cut out a photo and pop it on the cover. ( your photo will slip under the organza ribbon!)
There’s 12 pages in all with some lift up flaps for extra space along with a fold out page.
One handmade pocket for little memorabilia too.
The bit I’m happiest with is that I’ve left loads of room for photos but been a bit tricky by actually making a pocket UNDER the photo area-neat!
Hand embossed damask in both negative and positive positions give the papers some really textural depth.
