album/booklet

Hi all, hope you're all well out there ...


I made a little album or booklet or whatever you want to call it:

For the outside covers I used patterned paper by Heidi Swapp (Vintage Chic, Worldwide).

The butterfly actually is a brooch I found yesterday while looking for a birthday present. It was held together by jumprings but when I tried to get off the fastener on the back some of the rings broke. So I tied the two halves together with twine that has been covered with distress paint metallic antiqued bronze.
The butterfly as well was covered with the distress paint and embossed with ep rust and vintage photo.

The insides are covered with a paper from the 'engraver' collection by prima marketing.
I tea-dyed some sheets of paper to put them inside with album posts.

I found this gorgeous video by stampinStuff01 on the internet and had to give it a try :-D There will be more, I'm sure.

There's no need to ask for it LOL it's already on its way abroad.

Thanks for having a look.
Hugs, Suzanne xxx

last minute ...

'journey journal'.
Following an idea from Neet (to use my 'trip to Europe'-tag on a cover) I threw together a last minute journal for my little trip.
I'm just showing the front and the back (it's grungeboard) here because inside there's nothing spectacular ... I really just assembled a few leftovers from patterned paper ;-)

 I'm very excited to see how it will turn out in the end, what I'll complete it with ...

If I'd ever have the chance to go on a trip or journey again I'll make a journal way earlier and more planned :-)

Thanks for stopping by

a humble album

das ich als Geschenk gemacht habe für jemanden.

For two whole days I've been busy making an album. It's a rather simple one, only the second one I ever made. The recipient gave no feedback until now so I don't know if she likes it ...
(careful: lots of pics LOL - it's just a few examples, couldn't decide which pages to take snaps of) :-))
The album is meant to be used a bit like a smashbook: to collect pics, quotes, thoughts ...

front

some pages:

There are blank and lined pages between these now and again, too. The stamps I used are just too many to mention. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Most of you will know them anyway :-)

Hopefully some day I'll have the time, space and inspiration to make a more challenging album, book, whatever ...

Thanks for stopping by and your patience :-)
