Vintage birthday record book

Hi there,

Today I have put up a tutorial on my you tube channel for a gorgeous vintage birthday record book.  You can make it as a simple little mini album if you wish though ,it is really easy to make and takes a minimum of time to create but looks stunning. .  Great for a christmas or birthday gift.
I've made mine just for myself....how lucky am I!!!!??  Makes a change to do things for myself! now I can record the dates and names on the inside pages for each month and use the tags to write down any gifts I buy through the year so I don't duplicate presents...when the tags are full I can just make some new ones.


 
 




So here are some photos and a list of materials I used

Stand up card

Hi again,

Here are some photos of the card which I have done as a you tube video tutorial.  It is a card which has a built in stand so will look really great when your friends and family display it at christmas.

I used some Visible Image stamps to decorate it and Kay and co paper, seam binding for the bow is from ribbon girl.  The die cut for the foliage and holly sprigs is a Tim holtz alterations die called festive greenery. I also stamped the Vintage image trio's script on some plain paper and matted on the back of the card (which is on the base as it stands in the picture).
The stamps are available on the Visible Image web site.......
Vintage image trio and the vintage santa

And here are the photos of the finished card...

Prima Romance Novel Mini album...just me me!

Woo Hooo,

Well have finally finished my Mother and daughter album at long last.  I am really pleased with the way it has come out and showcasing the gorgeous Prima romance novel papers has made it very special.  What a brilliant line this is lots to cut out for journalling and pockets, tags and tabs and a wonderful mixture of soft romantic roses and rustic bikes and typewriters, but it works sooo well  together. I bought the case at TK Max as it goes so well with the papers, so the album will be well protected inside.

So here a some photos and a link to the you tube video which shows it fully if you are interested. Link here








 
HAVE A GREAT WEEK
