what do you need for pretty pages ?

Hi Gaelle - there's a post here that explains it :
https://pinkreptiledesigns.forumotion.com/t884-pretty-pages-guidelines-for-those-writing-a-post

basically it's like a GSO but for just PRD pages. you pick 3 fave pages for month of July and tell us why you chose it. :) i'm headed out for a girl's only camping trip (well it's really a big lodge with beds, hot tub, out door kitchen, showers, etc) for the weekend ... so if I don't respond for a few days ...

if you need the selection of the pages for next month, I can pick some of them.
I will try to explain why I love the page, but my english is... an english of a french girl so if someone can correct my english, it's OK for me

I think your english is pretty great Gaëlle but of course we will help you out! Thanks for helping out!!!

thank you Mirjam

so I will pick 3 pages for the July post

awesome!

and mirjam - I updated july's ( accidentally put "Font post by San" ... so I changed that and I will come up with a post for July like Trendwatch or Three Way by the end of the week) ...

Today, I'm going to show you an album with its box.

I recycled a plastic box for business card as box for a mini album.

Creation of album :
I cut 4 pieces in a kraft paper 9.5 x 11 cm.



Each paper is folded in half


I glued my pictures : one picture per page.
I printed pictures of size smaller than the paper's size



After these first steps, I decorated page after page









I used a label from limitless | elements to decorate this page. I cut leaves pattern with my cuttlebug and I added two stamples.
The strip of paper was cut in a yellow paper from Forget me not | papers

For the next pages, I used a label from limitless | elements.


I used camera and leaves dies to cut pattern with my cuttlebug. The papers are from Dreams kit




I attached the brad with stamples


I used limitless products to decorate these pages, papers and label :






I added flowers from lucky in love to finish my double page


The last pages of my album are decorated with a label from limitless | elements and with a flower from Counting the days | elements :






The next step was to gather 4 pages to create an album
I glued page on page to create a book







To finish I added the cover with a beautiful paper from Sea of love


I closed my album with a yellow wire with a bow


The mini album is put inside the box and I decorated the lid


My album and its box are finished !

OMG, that is adorable! what a treasure. love your hybrid mini albums!

thanks Jenn !

It's absolutely goregous Géraldine!
