Vintage Mini Album

Hi All,

What a difference one week makes, last Monday I thought Spring had arrived. However today it was snowing with an ice cold wind. When will it get warm???..........

I've finished my mini album which I started about six months ago, but  for some reason I never got round to finishing. Then about 2 weeks ago, I found some pictures of my mum, dad, son, niece and nephew when they were very young!!  and that inspired me to finish the album.

I cut the pages using a spellbinders die, covered with various papers then used distress inks. I finished the front cover with handmade flowers, a stamped clock face and distressed the lace ribbon to surround the clock.  Then added ' Our Family' stamped sentiment. The card used throughout the mini album, to make the flowers and frames was Crafters Companion Centura Pearl. Love Centura Pearl cardstock!! The album is secured by silky ribbon.



Handmade flowers with pearl embellishments.

Music....

Hi All,

Today in London, it looks as though spring has finally arrived. The sun is out although still a little chilly!!

Today's card is music based, I bought this stamp ages ago and made this card. My father loves jazz and my son has a true passion for music.

I stamped and embossed the image. Then coloured in with promarkers, I mounted on white, black and silver card. Finished with a 'Happy Birthday' sentiment.

I'm entering this into the following challenges:
