Blossom Album

This the Album that I created at the online Craft Retreat that I joined recently, it was run by Clare from My Creative Spirit. We created four projects, the first of which was the Tall Boy that I shared HERE.  This is the second project, an Album, we could also create a Brag Book and a Ribbon Tied Journal.

I apologise in advance for all of the photographs, it is so difficult to share something like an album!


I used the Graphic 45 Blossom collection again, above is the front cover and below is the inside front cover and first page.  I added a pocket that contains the tags that I shared HERE and the first page is a policy envelope, it opens up so that you can store things inside.


This is the back of the policy envelope and the front of the second page, there is a flap and a pocket, the flap is held closed by the Journaling/Ephemera Card, you can see it open in the second photograph below.



This is the back of the second page and the front of the third page, the back of all the pages is the same design, there is a belly band that you can tuck things behind.  The third page has another flap with a pocket, you can see it opened up on the following photograph.



The third page opens out twice and you can pop photographs or Journaling/Ephemera cards behand the little belly bands.


This is the flaps opened up once and in the photograph below they are fully opened, I was struggling to get everything in the photographs at that stage.



This is the fourth page, I have another flap on this one, you can see it opened up on the following photograph, all of the flaps have magnetic closures.



This is the inside of the back cover, I haven't decided whether or not to decorate it yet, I'm thinking about putting a waterfall element on it.


I hope you are not bored with all of the photographs, it's difficult to capture everything - a video would probably be easier but then I would need something to mount my camera on!

Thank you for visiting my blog today, please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.
