Last week I promised a few pics of the little album I have been making... It's only now I'm looking through my photos and I've just realised that I didn't take any shots of it being constructed, which is a shame cos I made it from scratch and should have at least taken a pic of it in its raw form - like a visual list of ingredients to let you see how I actually put it together. Oh well - I can tell you it was the easiest thing in the world to do. Just old packaging and corrie cardboard, covered in kraft papers, held together with a Tim Holtz ringbinder that fits in to the spine with 2 brads. Not that I'm a usually cynic but, I wasn't convinced it would be as sturdy a fixing as I would have liked so I was amazed/surprised when I put it all together and it held firmly!!!! Yay! From there it was a case of making folders/pages to fill it with and decoration. I lucked out here as my local TK Maxx had some 6x6 pads of Sn@p cardstock which was more perfect than perfect as it was what inspired me in the first place (having seen a Simple Stories feature on Create & Craft). I supplemented with some homemade journalling cards and chucked some photos in et voila!!! Job done! Nearly! Just need to add a bit of texture with ribbons or twine and she's sorted as they say!!!! Hope you enjoy the pics....
