Crafts

My son is turning 30 next month and for his birthday I made this chipboard album for him.  It contains photos of family taken during his 20's.  This is the cover.

Since this photo was taken, I've added ribbons, fibers and string in small pieces to the top ring to give it a little something extra in that corner.   I found a site on the web that had small calendars that I could cut and paste.  I put the calendar for the year he was born and this year.   I made the flowers with the Tim Holtz flower die.   Other items on this cover were things I purchased over the past few years and have in a stash that I go to when I'm wanting to add creative elements to a project.

Well, this is my first blog.  I hope to add more pages to this project but since it is a birthday gift, I will wait until after his birthday to post them.  Don't want to completely ruin the surprise....just in case.



After I logged off I thought about adding some picture of the first mini album I made some time back.  I got the kit from Christina at Creations with Christina and thought I would a couple of pictures below.
Each page has a pocket and I added family pictures to each side of the card in the pockets.  The first photo is the front cover.
