Mother Goose

This is the Album that I created using the Graphic 45 Mother Goose collection. It's quite a large album, it is nearly 8 x 8". I was inspired by the Graphic 45 Waterfall Folio that is not available in the UK yet, it comes as a complete album, ready to decorate and a video by Annette Green - you can find her YouTube Channel HERE.

Above you can see the front cover, I used part of the cover sheet along with two of the papers, I have the 12 x 12 Collection, the 8 x 8 Paper Pad and a 6 x 6 Patterns and Solids Pad, I already had the two smaller pads in my stash and then Graphic 45 re-released the 12 x 12 Collectors Edition, which of course I just had to have.

Above is the inside of the front cover and the back of the back panel, it is a trifold Album with a pocket page and two waterfall pages. There is a pocket on the inside of the front cover with a tag stored in it - you can see the tag HERE. I used my Stitched Slots Pocket Die, it is made by Matty's Crafting Joy and I purchased it from Amazon, there are ephemera/journal cards and a tag in the pockets.

Below you can see the front of the pocket page.

Next is the other side of the pocket page with the photo mat and the first of the waterfall pages, there are six sections in each waterfall and they are secured with a magnet.

Below you can see both of the waterfall pages side by side.

Finally, this is the back cover. I am really pleased with this Album, if I make another one I think I will make it a little smaller.

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

Humpty Dumpty

I am in the process of creating a small album using the fabulous Graphic 45 Mother Goose collection and I have created this tag to place in one of the pockets.

I used a Graphic 45 Large Tag and covered it with papers from the Patterns & Solids collection along with papers from the 8 x 8 Paper Pad. I fussy cut the Humpty Dumpty, Goose and Flowers from the 12 x 12 Paper Pad and inked the edges before attaching them using foam pads.
