So here are some pictures of two wedding mini albums I made for a client.

The albums are made from chipboard and then covered with patterned papers.

The first one (sorry the pics got all muddeled when I downloaded them) is in royal blue and yellow, I made quite a few pockets and pull outs for this album as I wanted it to have more place for photos.

The second album was supposed to be in peacock colours but as I have mentioned before I live in a small town and finding specific papers can be a problem. So I opted for a white cracked wood paper (keiser craft) for the background pages and then used the purple and dark torquoise papers as accents I think it worked well and the client was impressed. I made most of the flowers myself using one of JJShowers utube tutorials and added lots of lace and pearls and vines etc.

 I must say I enjoyed the second album the most I just loved the colours which makes it so much easier to work with. 

If there is anything specific you would like to know about the albums leave me a comment.

I recently completed an album for a client of their family trip to Mauritus, heres one of the layouts that I just love! I want to do a similar layout for myself of our trip to Mozambique.

I used real shells that I have been collecting for awhile now, some paper tearing and rolling (that took forever) I used a mixture of papers some bo bunny, graphic 45 and keiser craft, I tore and chalked some cork too and put it behind the shells.

Some bazzills for photo mats and its complete

Hi there, just wanted to share with you a quick project I completed last week. I saw this awhile back on Pinterest and have been dying to make one for myself. So (much to my husbands disgust) I have been saving all our tuna tins until I finally got a chance to make one last week. I like how it turned out and now of course I have a hundred new ideas for them.

(sorry guys cant figure out how to rotate that last photo)

Ok so I covered the outside as well as the inside of the tuna tin with patterned paper.

I also painted the inside of the tin first with gesso then with brown paint.

I cut two brown scalloped circles and another plain circle. I hot glued one circle to the bottom of the tin then added a piece of ribbon from the inside of the tin to the 'inside' of the other brown scalloped circle making a 'lid' for the tin.

I then glued the circle to the 'lid' added some hand made flowers a metal butterfly and some pearls to the lid. I then added a brad to the lid and wound a piece of brown cord with some beads on the end around the brad to make a closure.

And heres what the inside of the 'trinket box' looks like.

I added a brad to the inside of the lid to hold the ribbon down.

Got to say this was one of the quickest projects I have completed in awhile and I love how it turned out. There are so many uses for it too, it would be a lovely gift with a little something cute inside. I was thinking of making another one with a mini albumn inside.
