Handbag album

Here is a little gift I made for a friend of mine. The album base and papers are from Every Moment Matters. The new range of Urban lily papers were lovely to use.

The front cover features the colours of the album. The ribbon knot and knotted ribbons are there to provide a girly touch, even though the photos will be all boy! I loved the DM dots on chipboard look. So textural.

Here is the back. I make it a habit of signing all artwork that I do. It's an opportunity to reinforce my creative outlet. The big chipboard letter is painted and DM-ed. I used strip words on both the front and back cover because they are easier to format.

Each page has a letter cut from the Cricut, covered in DM and then doodled around using a series of lines. Can you see the frame too? It is there to give a non-scrapper clues about where to put the photos.

And the other side. I used Pritt Power Gel to glue all the flowers and buttons down.
