Just finished this mini album for my friend Anne, who I went on holiday with earlier this month. I used one of the brilliant sketches at Sassy Lil' Sketches as the basis for the front cover. It's only a small album - just big enough to take 6" x 4" photos matted and layered on to designer paper, but I think she will love it. Well I hope so anyway.
Here's a peak of the inside which I've kept really simple - well it had to be I've been at work most of the time since last Thursday.
All the papers I've used are by Kanban and I've kept to the monochromatic colour scheme.
I'm also very proud to say that thanks to Jules at Always with a heart I'm really trying to use 'snippets' left from other projects. I do tend to be quite a wasteful crafter and although I don't throw the snippets away - they go to a good home (the ladies I work with at Mencap) I really should use more up myself. So check out my frame and butterfly cut from this small left over piece of black glitter card...
Think using it definitely qualifies me for this week's Crafty Snippet Challenge.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend and special wishes for my friend Max and her daughter who are over in Ireland. Check out why HERE - wow how cool is that?PS: The 'T' in 'ITALY' has been suitably told off and is now standing up straight.
