On your wedding day

Hey there! Today I don't have a card to share with you, but a mini album. I started working on this album last year (in September, I think), but I had sooooo many (other) things to work on at that time (as well), there was also December, when time flies by with the speed of light, as you know, that it took me til now to finish it. I made this album for a lovely lady who got married in October. I was going to send it to her as a wedding present, but as I am so late with it (oooops) she will get it as a surprise happy mail.

This wedding album is a bit different than you might expect. It's not SO elegant, but it's cute. Not something I would normally do, but to this particular lady and her hubby is perfect (in my opinion). Some of you might recognize the lady I'm talking about and if you do, please do NOT mention this album, this post or this blog to her, because I want this to be a surprise! So shhhh, ok? ;)

The colours of the wedding were blue/purple/pink, so I made album in those tones. And as the lovely couple got engaged at Disney World, I wanted to include some Disney magic in the album as well. For a change I knew immediately which paper pad I wanted to us - Sandylion's Disney Tinkerbell paper pad. Not only the papers in that pad are gorgeous and just the right colours (pink/blue/purple), they also have that "Disney magic" I was hoping for.   The pad comes with lots of stickers and die cut elements too, which is an added bonus. Plus, I know the bride likes Tinkerbell, so - score! :D 

Let's go to the pics, shall we? Here's the cover ...

Since this album will be mailed and has quite a long way to go, I didn't want to fill the cover with tons of flowers and other 3D embellishments. Instead I spelled "our wedding" with stickers that came with the paper pad and decorated the album with Tinkerbell sticker and flower die cuts that came with the pad and a small metal heart embellishment from All my memories.

First two pages ...

Tags and those small dragonfly stickers came with the paper pad and the flowers are from my stash. 

Third and fourth page ...

The corner on the left side is a chipboard piece which I painted with white gesso and then covered with light pink embossing powder. Over it I glued die cut word "love" and decorated it with some heart shaped crystals. Ribbon came from my stash. On the right page I created a pocked and decorated it with some lace and a sticker from the paper pad. In the pocket I added some tags.

Fifth and sixth page ...

On the left I created a double flap page and on the right page I created a "pocket" and put two tags behind. I decorated it with heart shaped crystals and some flowers. Behind the flower I tucked 2 small tags from the paper pad.

Seventh and eighth page ...

I just love those waterfall pages in the mini albums. Not only they hold lots of pictures, they also look very pretty in my opinion. I decorated it with a big handmade flower. On the right page I created a pocket that holds a tag and I decorated a pocket with one of the stickers from the paper pad and a paper heart from my stash.

Ninth and tenth page ...

Isn't that frame just too pretty? It came with the paper pad and I just raised it on foam pads so the happy couple can easily put a picture behind it. Then I just added some flowers on as decorations. On the right page yu see another pocket that holds one handmade tag and several Tinkerbell tags from the paper pad. Sentiment is a sticker that came with the paper pad as well.

Eleventh and twelfth page ...

Last two pages of the mini. On the left I added a pocket and added a tag in it. I decorated it with some die cut hearts and some small tags and a sticker from the paper pad. On the right page I randomly glued down some words - those are all stickers that came with the paper pad.

And the back ...

Each page of the mini album has a pucket and in each of those pockets is a tag. Here are the pictures of those tags.

I hope this album will make it safely to its destination and that the newly weds will like it. I also made a video of it.

Mini album for my baby girl

Hello everybody! Happy spring! :) Isn't it nice now that it's not so cold anymore and you actually get to enjoy the sun? I love it! :) It's nice to go sit outside for a drink or go for a walk in the park ... I'm enjoing these sunny days!

While I was still pregnant I made a mini album for my baby girl, but I didn't get to share it here just yet, so I thought I would do that today. :) 

I wanted this album to be bright, sparkly and full of girly things like flowers, lace, butterflies etc., so you will see lots of those through album. At the same time I didn't want to over-embellish the album, because I wanted there to be lots of room for bigger photos as well.

Most of the papers I used in this mini album came from Echo Park Sweet girl paper pad and My mind's eye Ooh la la paper pad, but I also used papers from other MME pads and some papers from my stash.

First I will show you some pictures of the album (sorry because the quality isn't the best) and at the bottom of the page there's a video of the album as well (again, sorry, because the quality of the video isn't the best).

Anyways, here's what the album looks like ...

This is the cover of the mini album. As you can see I used lots of different flowers, some butterflies, lace and trims to decorate it. The big white rose and the yellow flower are from I am roses and the rest are from my stash. My baby's name (Amadeja) was spelled with Making memories glittery alphabet stickers. Butterflies are 3D stickers from K&Co and the metal heart that is "peeking" from behing the flowers is from All my memories. The sentiment (adore) is a chipboard piece from Make it crafty.

Here's a close-up of the details.

I just love those flowers and those butterflies. <3 p="">

These MiC sentiments are great too.

Here are the first and second page of the mini album.

As I said, I didn't want to over-embellish the papges. I decorated these two pages with some brads, flower sticker and some cut-outs from the Echo park paper collection. The second page has a flap, but I didn't take picture of it. Please check the video (scroll down) to see what it looks like opened up.

These are third and forth page of the mini album.

On the third page I created a booklet (sort of) and on the fourth page there's a double flap. Please scroll down to check the video to see what the pages look like opened up. 

To decorate those pages I used some lace, glittery dots, banner and flower sticker.

Here are the fifth and sixth page of the mini album.

I used some more flowers and butterfly stickers. brads and a metal heart to decorate the pages. Sixth page has a triple flap and you can see what it looks like opened up in the video.

Here are seventh and eighth page of the album.

Seventh page is probably my favourite page in the mini. It's a waterfall page that I decorated with a butterfly and one of the "plates" from Pinkpaislee. On the eighth page I created quite a big pocket and decorated it with some lace from crafty ribbons and a cute owl tag from Echo Park.

Ninth and tenth page of the album.

Another pocket page with a flap that is kept close with magnet (see video for details) and 10th page is just a regular flap page. To decorate these 2 pages I used some stickers from Sticko phrase cafe and Docraft and a metal heart from All my memories.

Eleventh and twelfth page of the album.

On the eleventh page I sort of created a booklet and decorated it with another Sticko phrase cafe stickers. It's kept close with some twine. On the twelfth (last) page of the mini album I created a criss cross pocket and decorated it with some pearls, butterflies and handmade flower.

Every second page has a big ocket to hold bigger tags and on each of those tags I stamped with different stamp from The Greeting Farm (from Ever after kit and Magical friends stamp set). Here's a picture of the tags and album (the picture was taken before my baby was born, and because of that there isn't a name on the cover yet). Images are embossed with Ranger's Queen's gold embossing powder.

And finally, here's the video of the album (again, I'm sorry, because the quality isn't the best).

So, this is the album I made for my baby girl. I hope she will like it! :)

Have a great day!
Hugs! xx
