If I knew- memorial- tribute album

Wow what a week for the fairy- in between calving cows and unmentionable farm jobbies I have been inspired to make a memorial album.

Its been a little while since I've made one for ebay- usually these are private commissions.

I thought I'de share the love!

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.
Hope you like? xx 

Cover- damask flocked velvet pattern- with room for a photo

a cute extra flap holds a heartfelt quote. Photos will easily slip under the ribbon

Mum memorial custom made albums for Rochelle

2 Custom made albums for Rochelle!

Ocean- angel and butterfly- oh what fun!

I hope i have captured the spirit of the sea with blues, silver and white. Tiny silver ocean charms are scattered throughout both books and I have used a swirl motif that reminds me of waves. Its a spiritual translation rather than papers of waves etc!!

Both books are similar but are different- not sure which is my favourite!

The surprise pink page was fun - with funky added charms- shoes and handbags :-)

I have added some uplifting quotes and affirmations throughout as well as a couple of hidden passages in the bags openings.

Photos as always havent done these justice- i do so you like them Rochelle!!??
