Hi you all!
It is still very hot and humid here, I am not a happy bunny, as I cannot cope with the heat well.We seem to be getting more and more extremes of weather lately.
Last week I made an album, using some of the lovely papers that Christine sent me - thanks again! I made the covers from the back of an old drawing block, and cut a large sheet of good quality paper to make the pages of the accordion inside.
The front:
The first double page, with pockets for tags:
Details:
The next double side with more pockets and a notebook which can be taken out.

The back:

This was great fun to make, and is a nice album for summer photos, notes etc.
I am linking to 'ode to Summer' at Simon's Monday Challenge.

This is really gorgeous Valerie. Love all the pocket details and the bird embellishing.

ReplyDeleteHope it is cooler for you soon. It is really wet here today which has a cooling effect I think
