wedding album

 my neice got married this month 

so i created this unique wedding album for her as my gift to her

i used 2 kaisercraft fairytale castles 

and added stampin up's beautiful love letter and newsprint designer series papers

along with a huge collection of accessories such as

ribbon, glitter, chipboard, antique tags, lace, brads, flowers etc etc
plus the obligatory stamps of course :>

normally when i do an album i usually keep it very simple and clean cut
but being the new year and wanting to try new things
i thought i would unleash my inner vintage/shabby chic/visual feast monster upon the world.

i also had limited supplies i.e. what i had brought with me to nz from sydney
so no zipping into the craft room to get stuff.
it also made me use what i had and think up different ways to use them.
i am glad i did this because it made me use a lot of my die cuts more and papers in different ways.

scroll on down for pictures of what it looked like inside....warning there are loads of them!!!!
if you see somethign you like and want to know how i made it or did it please feel free to ask :>

 

 

 

tomorrow i'll show you the card i made
and how i had to wrap it all up-that was a mission all in it's own!!!

cheers ears

....and in the beginning there was paper...

...and it was good paper! It seems to be what I am obsessed by at the moment-mind you show me a scrapbooker or card maker who isn't huh!? I am in love with 'Holiday Harmony' designer series paper from Stampin' Up. It is in my favourite colour combinations of Purely Pomegranate and River Rock and it is also very adaptable to other projects that aren't Christmassy. Here is a card I made recently using my favourite combination. I used the One of a Kind flowers, It's Beautiful wheel and the quote from A Beautiful Thing. I also dabbled with the Dazzling Diamonds glitter and my daubers to add some life to the card. You'll also notice holes in my card...look carefully now...yeah...right there...uh-huh... So that's my first real post in my blog done...phew...now that wasn't too hard. Just have to remember to keep doing it now...remind me wont you all (if anyone IS reading this hahaha)if I slack off and don't do it!
