...well I actually made a little photo album to fit inside the box...
The main papers, sayings and bits and pieces came from HOTP Forever Christmas Cards paper stack and BoBunny, Father Christmas Collection... and some snippets from my stash...
I did envelopes with little cards in...
Pockets with tags...
Plain matt and layer pages...
Pockets with little sayings in...
More tag pockets...
and sayings...
In fact, I did about 15 pages in all...
And finally bound it all together with my Bind it All...
For the edges I either inked, chalked or used sandpaper as use some 2 tone card...
I was actually quite chuffed with myself. OK it's not a patch on other peoples work, but it's the first time ever I made something off my own back AND started and finished it all in one afternoon, lol...
And Natalie loved it and cannot stop saying thank you and that her and her mum cannot stop looking at it...
yes I agree she needs to get a life, lol... thanks for looking...
