mini album "life is beautiful"

hi, hi! so, i am back tonight with a little mini album here that i am calling "life is beautiful"  inspired by these wonderful, bright papers that i have used from sasafras lass. i have had this collection for quite some time and doodled around with it, but only last week came up with this little file folder idea. i received a little 7gypsies portfolio album from one of my lovely lady shop owners and decided to duplicate that idea and create this:

              

                                       cover of the "portfolio"

with vintage seam binding ribbon binding and an elastic closure 

             

                                                        opening...

there are 3 flaps- one on top, one on bottom and one on the right side. the side flap folds to the outside of the album cover.

             

                                                     opening...

the top and bottom flaps fold to the inside, over the 3 little file folders.

             

                                                               open

             

                                                   pages 1 and 2

page 1 is the inside of the portfolio cover and page 2 is the front of the first file folder. each of these pages have 2 bottom pockets. the little decorative fringes on the top of the bottom pocket are loose on the bottom edges so they can hold a little note or picture under them. there is a double-sided tag slipped in the first page pocket. on page 1.

             

                                                   pages 3 and 4

 these pages are the inside of the first folder with 2 pockets on each page- the flowered paper strip and the printed ribbon serve as pockets. there are 2 double-sided tags here.

             

                                                 pages 5 and 6

the backside of folder one and the frontside 9of folder 2 with 1 bottom pocket on each page and 1 double-sided tag on page 5 with a tiny pocket on top of the bottom pocket and a little photo album attached to the bottom pocket on page 6.

                               

                                close-up of tiny album on page 6                

 there are six- 1.5" X 1.5" pages tied with a bow.

             

                                                  pages 7 and 8

inside folder number 2 there are 4 pockets total with 2 double-sided tags.

             

                                            pages 9 and 10

the backside of of folder 2 and the front side of folder 3 there are 2 photo mats on these pages with the sweet owls on the branches serving as photo holders. there is room for journaling or photos on the bottom of each page.

             

                                            pages 11 and 12

there are 2 bottom pockets on both of these pages.

             

                                              pages 13 and 14

these last 2 pages are the backside of the third folder and the inside back of the cover. page 13 has another little booklet with 9 pages for photos and a rick rack pocket holding a double-sided tag. on page 14 the owl creates a large pocket.

                             

                  close - up of  1.5" X 1-7/8" booklet on page 14.

sorry for such a crappy picture! geesh.

             

                    back, spine and front cover of "life is beautiful"

new christmas album "jinglebell christmas"

here are 2 new albums that i have listed in my etsy shop for christmas, i'm working on some christmas kits for albums, collage or journals too, i just have to take some photos, maybe i will get them listed this weekend, i hope, i hope!

anyway, the first little album is created with a vintage (1920 something i think) greeting card that was perfect for a matchbook album:

                                   

"jingleBell Christmas" is the name of this 3.5" X 5.5" matchbook album. originally a vintage greeting card, i have added  5- 118lb. card-stock pages using vintage buttons, vintage christmas postcard images as photo pockets and the always sweet, daisy d's christmas papers to make this a special christmas album.

                                   

the 4 vintage buttons are sewn through the 5 layers of papers to re-purpose this vintage card in to an album that you can keep or give as a gift, filled with special holiday photos.each page measures 3.5" X 4.25".

                                

the back of each page has a photo mat created from "Flair Designs christmas collection.

                                 

                                  
                                     

                                      

the last page with santa contemplating the list has 2 little pockets. you may slip your photos behind the book and behind santa himself.

                                  

are these photos wonderful? can't you see a family taking the time to cut out these photos and placing them on this card? the greeting itself is slipped into little slits.

                                       

"jinglebell christmas" open
