I've been working off and on over the past six weeks during crafting time creating a 3D Flip Fold Album using Heartfelt Creations products. It was fun to create, I took a long time as I added photos and lots of embellishments. I could not resist trying out one of these albums and while working on the first I ordered the materials for a second one. It's a nice way to keep those old photos that were just sitting in the basement in boxes.
I am showing some photos of the album, not all of it or you would probably fall asleep. The flowers were all created using HFC dies and papers and molded using a stylus and mat.
Album front, I used paper from HFC Everyday Hero Collection as it has a vintage feel. |
Next are some photos from the inside and some of the older black & white photos. Closer to the back of the album are more recent photos (less than 30 years)
There are lots more pockets and flip outs that I haven't shown here, but you get the idea that this album has lots of elements. I like to scrapbook but don't take the time very often as I'm more focused on playing with inks and paints for backgrounds etc and other activities.
Well that's all for today, have a great week,
Shirley

Wow, wow, and wow again! This is absolutely stunning Shirley. I love everything about it, such gorgeous colours. This must have been a labour of love but I'm sure that it will be treasured by the generations to come. X
Wow, stunning Shirley. I love everything about this gorgeous album. The papers and the flowers are beautiful. It's lovely to see it filled with photos too. I made one for the birth of our grandson for his Mum and Dad, but as yet I've not photoed it as it has no photos in.

When I first saw this I thought, Is this Shirley - not her colors but gorgeous. Of course I had to go on and read all about your journal. No I think I will just burst if I do not make one!!Bravo!!
