Finshed my Album!

Well I finished my album in enough time for my show! To bad the show was such a bust! Oh well it was a learning experience! I have to post all the photo's here as I can post them all in my Etsy listing which sucks!


This was really fun to make and I think it came together well! I hope you all like it also!

This what the cover looks like, which to me was the most time consuming but it came out cute! It is made from a pink cloth that has been hand stitched around the edges with a silver thread. Then I stamped the cute little girl outfit on two layers of card stock and hand water colored it. I cut out the words on my cricut. I think it looks pretty good!

The album is made from white paper bags, which I think works well. Using the paper bags gives you the opportunity to store other pictures or mementos in some of the pages! Above is what the first page of the album looks like. It has an embossed swirl background and it has been accent with lots of girly embellishments!

The album is a little bigger than other paper bag albums that I have seen, this one measures 6x6" and generally the area for you to place your photos or journaling are 4.5"

The album focuses on a year in the life of your little girl. I did pages reflecting the major events and holidays in a year! The above pages are for that special Birthday!

The above page is for Bunny day with it's bright fun colors and all of springs little friends!

Above pages reflect my favorite Holiday of the year!! I love Halloween, lol maybe because I missed being born on that day by hours! Plus I love the idea that you can be anything that you want to be on that day!



What year wouldn't be complete with out some cheery Christmas pages!?!? I didn't totally stay with the traditional colors...lol I find the traditional colors get boring after awhile! Plus I loved the ornament paper I have!



The last page of the album is to honor daddy's little girl! Love all the pastel colors on this page! Hheheh I would love to keep this one, but no little girls here!! All boys and no plans for any more!!

It's A Girl, paper bag Album

So my current project for the show I am doing is a paper bag album. It's been fun! I still have a couple of pages to do, LOL....I find myself adding more and more.

Here is what she looks like so far!

This is the cover of the album, the background is a cute pink fabric. Its accented with a cute little girls outfit stamp.


This is the first page, it has a space for a photo and some room for journaling. Its been accented with ribbon, paper flowers, and some stickles.

This is the third page, it has a space for a photo, and has a cute little elephant with a sweet pink bow.





These next two pages are my fav so far. LOL maybe cuz of all the purple....which is after all my favorite color! These pages are the birthday pages. The back ground of the page has been embossed with different versions of Happy Birthday. There are spaces for two photos and the pages have been embellished with some cute birthday kitties!

Well this is all I have so far. I hope to finish it this weekend. The show is fast approaching! The remaining pages are going to have Easter, Halloween and Christmas.

I hope you enjoy a little peek in to my shop!

New Album Pages for Tristens Zoo Album

Finally some more pages for Tristen's Zoo album. I have been a busy bee between the kids and their joining baseball. Angelica is really getting sick of all the games!!! Yes I know that is horrible to say, but I am honest! One game right after another tends to grind on my nerves, along with the fact that my oldest games usually don't end until after 9pm!

Ok now that I have ranted lets get to the goods, here are the next couple of pages!











I think it is coming along pretty cute! The sewing takes FOREVER, especially since I am not good at it! Well as they say practice makes perfect! Next are the Monkey pages!!

Hope u enjoy!

Zoo Paper Bag Album Adventure

Hiya everyone! Well as you all know my son and I just recently went to the Zoo on his first Kindergarten field trip. You guys also know that I have started an new hobby making cards etc. Well now I am combing my trip to the Zoo with my son with my new found hobby!

I am in the process of making him a paper bag album. I thought it would be appropriate his first school field trip and my first venture into paper bag albums! I am no pro, but lord forgive me I am anal! So far I have gotten the base done, and the front cover. I started this yesterday and that is all I have done! Angelica typically doesn't sew and now she remembers why, it hurts her little alien prong fingers!!



Here is what the base looked like before I did the cover, this is the outside of the album.

Here is what the inside of the base looks like, which will be the inside cover and back inside cover of the album:






Now here is what the cover looks like:




hehehehh I may be a bit biast but I think it is adorable so far! Yes I know I am missing a center eyelet on the spine, well that is because I went the cheap way and bought the small version of the cropa a dile when I should of just spent the money on the bigger one. My little one can't reach the center hole!! So now I have to buy a big one to finish the eyelet. I tried using the smaller one, well let me tell u I had to through out that first base because it set both sides together so you couldn't open the album and I wasn't very happy!!

I am off to do some of the inner pages now, well after a trip to the store to find ink for my printer. I need to print off the pics so I can decide what I want to do on each page.......I told you I was anal!

Be Safe, Be Happy

Hugs! Angelica
