My son, Neil, and my beautiful daughter-in-law, Sarah, just recently purchased their first home! I am going to give her this mini album as a little present. I sure hope she likes it!
I found the book in my stash of mini albums to make. I buy stuff with the idea that I am going to use it someday...and it came in handy, PERFECTLY, for this project.
The papers are from Melody Ross, called Artsy Urban. I am unsure where the book was from.
I cut strips of the papers, and used a Fiskars punch to create the scalloped roof. I tied a key, and a heart lock charm to the rings. The house numbers are stamped, and placed in a 7 Gypsies metal tag. The flowers are Tim Holtz, with added rhinestone centers. I put the chipboard sticker on the front, in the "door" spot, and added a black rhinestone for the door knob.
I placed black mats on the pages, and am giving Sarah templates and adhesive so she can cut and place her pictures.
This page has a pocket for two tags. I tied the buttons on with the string, and used a little fray check on the knot, so that they wouldn't become untied.
On the front, and the back, I used the Martha Steward fringe scissors to create grass with a scrap of green papers by 7 Gypsies.
Thanks for looking!!!
Also, to all of you, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
