Large Tri-Fold Photo Album ...............


A 10" x 7" tri-fold album with lots of pockets, photo mats and a waterfall photo section in the centre to accommodate lots and lots of photographs.  I embellished the front with  an ivory lace applique, 30mm pale pink roses, rose buds, ivory white ballerina blossoms, lily flowers, ivory berries and cream seam binding ribbon.  The spine has 10mm flower shaped pearl trim, cream ribbon and an ivory oval pearl and diamante embellishment.  I will be making a small video showing the inside of this album in a day or so and also taking more photos when the light is better

A view of the inside of the album - all photo mats have a white reverse so notes can be added. The photo mats have pockets and may also be slotted into the side of each page

The very centre of the album, there is space for seven 6x4" photos and notes may be written on the reverse of each mat.

Three Wise Men ....


I've had this stamp for a couple of years and its the first time I've coloured it in.  I used Copics pens and I stamped the Papertrey Ink sentiment.  I added guipure lace, 25mm white mermaid topped with a white wooden snowflake button tied with hemp twine.   My flower arrangement includes an ivory white magnolia flower, 30mm ivory wild roses inked at the edges, ivory white frosted berries, ivory/cream beaded berries.  The leaves were diecut and inked.

Thanks for looking, see you soon,
