Cover


Papers : More than words, Forget me not,tadah

I pierce an hole in the edge of my album to thread an elastic with perls, crochet flowers and button to give a colored and funny look to my album. To separate the different elements i used small woddy clothes pin

My album have 7 double pages, namely 14 pages.
I cut 8 rectangular piece of white cartstock (12 x 6 inches) and i folded each rectangle in 2 equal parts. I used the 8th rectangle to create the cover

Each double page have : One pattern background (paper) and one white background.
The leitmotiv/commun thread of my album is doilies.
I glue one doily by double page. To decorate page and pictures, i used scrap of colored papers from different kits of Pink Reptile Designs. I added some embellishments and stamps from scrapbooking products (Kesi'art, Bella Bvld)
The main decorations are : scrap of colored papers, black threads, colored brads and tags.

I decorated all pages of my album before glue each page with each page. At the end i sticked my cover and i add thread & perls decorations.
