Remembering These Special Times With You.....

 Vintage themed album, using Prima Printery Collection...love that paper.  I got on a kick after getting an order for a wedding album of making up a few more albums to have on hand. I love vintage style the best and i wanted to make another one ! I used the words on the paper saying REmembering Theses Special Times With You....then Our Life in chipboard, i mod podged on the paper so it would be coordinated.  Aged the edges and pages with some Distress Ink, and Machine stitched through out, i love the way it makes an album feel. It seems more substantial and real. I took some toule and aged it with some of my glimmer mists and then used a heat gun to dry them...it melted in a few places but i love that...gives it more of an old feel.  Lots of lace and ribbon as well.
 Pocket pages and large tags for pictures and journaling, or picture placements with journaling areas...how fun...accented with ric rack and prima flowers and stickles for some sparkle...
 I have this pretty velvet ribbon, i ordered by the yard from A Cherry On Top...its so cute, dont you think...? i had to use it as trim to these placements...
 lots of toule, hope im spelling that right....lage picture placement here all jazzed up, and then a huge pocket page that i cut out along one of the papers with a flower boarder...i added stickles to it and some toule and few brads and made a big pocket for a large tag.  Another picture placement and a little journaling tag too!
 2 large pockets that can be accessed top or side...great to tuck a few pictures in behind the tags..tags have places for pictures and journaling as well.

large picture placement with a journaling back ground, and 2 other journaling places on the last page. If you noticed i didnt fill this album with words..., sentiments, sayings...what have you..i thought that it didnt need it...i also thought, it would be a great way for someone to make it their own by adding what ever they want...finish it up..what ever or leave it like it is with your own pics and journaling.. 2 more pull out pages in the side pockets for more journaling and pics!
Thanks for stopping by! i have 2 baby albums i will be starting now and will post when im through! Also Darcy Diaries is coming up ......be back for that too!
