Well Groomed

I think I mentioned in my previous post that I was going to take part in an Online Craft Retreat being run by Clare from My Creative Spirit, Clare showed us how to make a Bookstand, Album and a Post Bound Mini Book, we had a brilliant time and today I am sharing part of what I created.


This is the Album in the bookstand, I decorated mine with the Graphic 45 Well Groomed collection.  I fussy cut the image from the signature page and used papers from the 12 x 12" paper pad along with one from the 8 x 8" pad.


This is the front of the Album, I mitred the corners of the striped papers.


This photograph shows the spine, it is a large Album, it measures 9 1/2 x  7 1/2 inches with a 3 inch spine, there are six pages with assorted pockets and photo holders.


This is the Stand with the Album, there is a drawer in the stand and the sides are shaped.


I will be back later in the week to share the inside of the album, I've not quite finished it yet!

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

Magnificently pretty creation, Pauline. This gets two huge thumbs up from me and two equally enthusiastic paws up from (our precious pup) Annie.
