Modern Medley Envelope Mini Album

During the week we were without the Internet I started working on a Mini Album and I couldn't resist making it using Stampin' Up! Modern Medley designer paper, I love making these and decorating them is the real fun bit

Here is a sort of view from the side

and an overhead view.... I waited until I got my Autumn/Winter catalogue pre order and used the Gift Bow Die.... such a useful die and not just for Christmas as you can see I have used it to decorate the top of my album

Here is the first page (warning I am not showing all of the pages today) I used the Post Card stamp for a journalling tag and on the other side you can add a photo, I made the pocket using my Envelope Punch Board and decorated that with a Blossom flower punch and on top placed a stamped flower from Flower Shop stamp set, the Very Vintage button I thread some black taffeta ribbon

  

all of the pockets hold 2 tags for photo's and jounalling and on this page I used some window sheet and lace to make a pocket to hold a tag, I used Happy Day stamp set and the background is stamped with butterflies from Best of Butterflies stamps

the tag from the above pocket opens up so you can add journalling and a photo, I created one of the photo mats using Apothecary Accents stamp set and die cut with the matching framelits

Today is my friend Ian's 60th Birthday Happy Birthday Ian

and I will show you the card I made for him tomorrow and more of the album will follow 

Until next time....... have a great day!
