"I AM..." Mini Album - 2015

Did this project for a friend as a retirement gift. It held gift cards and once they are used, she can add photos of herself (I did add a couple of photos of her on some of the tags).

I used the Simple Stories kit - "I AM" - PERFECT for this project.

Paris Album - 1975

I took a class at my LSS - Crop-A-While and we did this mini album.  I've wanting to do this for awhile to document the very first trip that my sister and I did on our own.  I didn't have many photos of this event and even those weren't very good.  So this is a mix of my photos, my sister's photos, a couple of vintage postcards (scanned) and a photo from the internet.  I made two of these albums, one for me and one as a gift for my sister.

Cover:

 Pages 2-3 (yes that's a photo of me). There is a photo of my sister on the other side, plus photos on two other tags in the pocket on the right.


Page 4
 Page 5 (this is a vintage postcard that's been scanned and made a little smaller)

 Page 6 - another vintage postcard:

Page 7 - photos on both sides of the tags


Page 8: photo from the internet

Page 9: The black "shoe" paper opens up and includes the journaling. I found my original travel diary from this trip, so I typed it out word-for-word.


Finally a photo of the back cover. Sorry about the flash but it's a rainy day here with not a lot of light. 



New Shed - 2014

For May layout tag at ScrapShotz. 

I was practicing using mists (Dylusions) on some watercolour paper and used it as part of this layout.  The rest (papers and diecuts) is Glitz - Dapper Dan (had to buy this paper because of the name - LOL).
