dear friend album just for nilla.. ok, i'm currently loving the mixmatch album.. no limitations as to what to use as pages (ie chipboard, overlays, fabric, canvas, etc) and its great for when you've got great pieces of scraps lying around waiting to be used in the next project.
Here is my next mix match album cream themed just like the person i'm giving this album to. She's gentle, sweet, very cream colour (Nilla almost always dresses in white), lace ( Nilla is now into crocheting) hence the lace/crochet inspired look through the book.
Very easy, once you've got the idea and the theme sorted out, everything just falls together perfectly. Ofcourse, I've added the pink rose on the top just for some added colour into the cream background. Again, the cream patterned paper goes absolutely perfectly with the brown cardboard.
Ok so, sweet and nice leads to pretty little bows.. canvas pieces from Maya Road are stuck onto the cardboard to add texture. Also, the mistable papers by Pink Paislee are very lovely. Here, I have brushed over with Tim Holt's Distress Stains (Scattered Straw), an alternative to spray inks.
Nilla, among my other creative friends are met thru our common love for making art and coffee mornings. Its amazing how much ladies can talk about especially when there is a common interest. Even more amazed by how close our bond is when we share the same hobby. So, this is for you Nilla, if you're reading this, we are going to miss you..
The album says, "dear friend, continue to create and make art."
