Family Mini Album

A mini album I have just finished to put all the family photos in we took just before leaving the UK - when the kids actually get around to emailing me them! (Hint hint)...

I used the sticky back suede and lace I found in the 'scrap shop' in Khobar and added some crystal danglies, sewed some beads into the lace and then added some Primas and bling with my Bejeweller!
Can you ever have too much bling? LOL

Used my BIA to bind it but made the covers so that the wires weren't visible, its going to be laods easier to do this look when the Coverals by Zutters hit the shops - I can't wait to get my mitts on them!


Used Cosmo Cricket Fleuriste papers - I love this range, add some ink and you get this lovely aged looking album.





Used loads of chipboard shapes and covered them with paper, I love the look of a fat book!
