Here it is...the album reveal. I used my May Counterfeit kit, with few additions to it.
I chose the title "18 Years" because I used portraits of my son from the first one at 3 months old to the last one, at Graduation, at age 18. I got this idea on Mother's day...It is amazing to look at these pictures, and at how much he has grown and changed.
I used some of the pictures as "pockets" to house a tag from my kit.
I made one flap out of my large tag from my kit to enable me to put two pictures on one page.
I didn't show all of the pictures/pages. But you get the idea!
I also did some cards using the sketch challenge from Sketch Support that Counterfeit Kit Challenge posted for a mini challenge using the May Kit. Here are a couple of cards I did with my kit.
All I added to this one was the ruler ribbon bow and the plastic needle. This one is the regular size 4 1/4 x 5 1/2".
This is the inside of the card. I added the pearls.
This is going to be for my husband for Father's day. SHHHHH! Don't tell him!!! I made the buttons with my Epiphany Button Maker. I also used my Sew Easy on this card and hand sewed the stitching. This one is 5x7".
For the inside I used another tag to write my message on.
Stay Crafty!
