So happy with my latest custom order bridal pin-up photo album!

After spending several hours carefully creating this lovely album, I just had to share it. I thought the concept of having a vintage style color scheme with a pin-up girl bachelorette was really interesting. I have to say I'm very proud of the way it came out, and I just love the look and coordinating colors. It's very feminine without being girly. Although, it's perfect for the bride-to-be, and all of her friends' old photos.

The subtle gold antiquing on all of the page edges adds a vintage feel to it, while a few simple gems and sporadic glittery spots offer some sparkle and shimmer. Layers of chipboard and card stock images create dimensional embellishments throughout the album. The colors are classic and soft; adding to the timeless photo spaces for perfect memories. I have had so much fun creating this unique photo album, that I might just have to make another one for myself.

Fun ways to use recycled scraps!

After stockpiling my barrage of scraps and supplies, I've decided to focus on making some fun and dimensional albums. It's always fun to try and figure out the best way to create new and interesting designs with leftover pieces. I think I've managed to put together something interesting and exciting here, as well as make a cute gift for any occasion. The dimensional layered flower on the cover is my favorite part of this new design. It was fast, fun and huge! The pop-out banner below was also fun and I was able to use a scrap piece of cardboard behind it for extra dimension and stability. I hope you love it as much as I do!
