Friends Fur-ever

This is the completed album that I created at last weekends Craft Retreat run by Clare from My Creative Spirit, I used the Graphic 45 Well Groomed collection - it has taken me a while to finish it but I got there in the end.


Above is the front of the Album, I fussy cut the main image.  Below is the inside front cover, it has a pocket with an acetate front photo holder and a belly band with a pull out photo book.  You can also see the front of the first page, it has a pocket with three little tags in it.


There are six pages in total, three page designs, in three different sizes, they are different on each side and then repeated in reverse order - each page has a pocket with a photo mat inside.  This is the back of the first page with a little fold out photo holder.  The front of the second page has a large pocket with another photo wallet.


Next is the fold out photo holder opened out and the large pocket with the photo wallet removed.


Now you can see the back of the second page, it has a large pocket with two journaling cards stored in it.  The front of the third page has an acetate fronted photo holder on it, I have placed a journal card inside.


This is the centre spread, first you can see the reverse of the third page and then the pages begin to repeat and you can see the front of the forth page.  They both have a belly band that you can tuck photographs behind, I have popped a journal card in mine.


This is one of the acetate fronted photo holders and the three little tags.


Two of the photo wallets.


Finally, the photo wallets opened out, I think I might use this album to store some of the many photographs that we have of our two Black Labradors.


Thank you for popping in today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave, they are all read and much appreciated.

Oh, Pauline, this is paws-atively marvellous! What a sweet and entirely elegant mini album. Not to mention one that is hugely inspiring to me as both a dog lover and the proudest of canine mamas (to our darling Annie). Thank you so much for sharing this beauty with us.

Choosing papers can be tricky even when using a paper pad, but everything here is super well organized and coordinated. The theme of the papers makes the album perfect for keeping photos of your dog. So much detail and variations, with hidden pockets and practical belly bands. The front page looks perfectly framed. Great work, Pauline!

Jules said...

Hi Pauline

This project really is a labour of love. It must have taken hours and hours to put together.

So much details and lots of places for you to add memories of your Labradors.

The papers and colours are gorgeous.

Love it!

Jules xx
