Album I

This album is my inspiration album. An album I look into when I need to find inspiration. Every page in the album I used different techniques of putting the pages together. Folding pages in as many different ways as I can possibly think of.

Cover page: Broan Cardstock, DCWV Pattern Paper, Whimsical Articles Ribbon, Fibres from Lincraft, Making Memories Vintage Hip Frame, Bohemia Barefoot "Love" Rub-Ons.

Pockets on top of right hand corner for sliding tag

Making Memories Tag Maker to make tag tied onto the spiral

Whale of Punch for squares (we do so much with this square punch)


To compliment with the rest of the album, I have repeated the textured paper and tag. Tear textured paper as photo corners.


Ning's sizzix envelope with inserts and paperclips to hold down sticker and as an embellishment


Tag is tied to spiral, another way to hold tag in


Page to look like a door with string tied for easy flipping



Pockets for keepsake notes


I atarted this album with just loose pages. Only after I finished embellishing the pages, only then did I get the album binded.

Ok..I started working on this album at 930pm last night. I managed to get 6 pages done...BUT only the basic layouts cos I didnt know what embellishments I want to use.

Question: Which cardstock/paper did you use for the 12 pages? I used the purple paper that you gave me but I think its a bit flimsy...might start over again..

I used a thicker cardstock brown in colour. I find that using a thicker cardstock will hold pages better. Try it..
