Here are some of the pages from the Mini Album I made for a niece and her daughter.
I used the Big shot Scalloped Square to cut all the pages including the covers which were a cardboard.
Some of the pages have pockets to put trinkets in or other special items,
The borders around the pages leave space in the centers to journal the memories.
I used stamps, that were suitable for a girl, that's why the colour of the pages are mostly pink!
Textured Impression Embossing Folders came in handy to give texture on some of the pages.
The framelits and embosslits were a great help as well, which gave a variety of extra bits and pieces to enhance the effect.
I used daubers on every page, that was the most tedious task, but worth the effort.
Daubing highlighted textures, and gave the edges that extra something; the pages looked pale when not daubed.
I made a box for the Album to go into and tied it off.
I guess the box could have been deeper so that when all the photos and memorabilia
have been recorded it would still fit, to be kept as a heirloom.
As these albums go, really, they need to be used and have finger marks on them to show the appreciation of the life they record.
I really enjoyed creating this for you Maree, I trust you and your Girl will treasure the story you write.
hugs
