I have been busy for the past week making a new style Memory Book/Album
I love to put these together as they make such a great way to display your pictures and keepsakes.
In this modern day of putting all your photographs in the cloud, this is a traditional Memory Book and keepsake
This book is my own unique design. I was watching a demonstration on Create and Craft where dies were used to cut the book pages and then put together using another die in the collection.
I was tempted to purchase the set, but then remembered I had purchased a lovely set of large dies from Sizzix when I bought my large Bigshot that has an A4 plate.
I dug them out and cut the outside and inner pages and then formed a binder system for the centre.
I then printed some very pretty vintage prints to cover a lot of the pages and added some plain papers to the other pages ready for photographs
Plus storage pockets in the front and back
I have added a vintage paperclip and page embellishment and a floral giant paperclip, both hand crafted to go with the vintage theme of the album
This book will hold at least 36 photographs
It took many hours to put together but I feel it has been worth the effort.
I will be making a matching box to store it.
Happy Crafting
Dee
