Great Gatsby Wedding Album (order)

This album is safely in the hands of the customer, and I'm happy to report she loved it. My goal when creating for a custom order is to do whatever I can to make each and every creation as special as possible. I always hope to make a one of a kind keepsake....that is always my goal. 
Navy Blue/Gold those are the colors chosen for this wedding album based on the Great Gatsby theme. How pretty those colors are together and how beautiful that wedding is going to be!!! It was easy to blend this album together using 4 different collections to make it flow nicely. There are so many places for photos, journaling and momentos in this album and I also included a 'special' area in the inside cover.

 

The front cover with the magnetic flap closed shows lots of navy/gold colors in the papers, cardstock and embellishments. The flap has a golden sheer ribbon and the swirly embellishments are golden and glittered. The flowers on the cover are handmade using some of the papers I used in the album. The golden metal embellishments in the bottom right are a subtle but noticeable decoration.

 

 

The spine has several ribbon bows layered to add pop to the album and the sweet old fashioned golden cameo on the spine finishes the latter days theme.

 

 

I apologize for the coloring of this picture (darn it), for some reason the lighting made this appear to be 'brown'...which it's not of course. This is the cover with the magnetic flap open showing the golden threaded lace along the side embellished with golden glittered swirly do's. The golden accents really pop against the darker navy cardstock and papers. I thought the pearls and boutonniere were pretty to 'stage' this pretty album.

 

The inside front cover and page 1. Remember, all the pages are based with navy blue cardstock and the papers and embellishments are loaded with gold.

 

 

The inside cover has a certificate that can be filled out and kept as a keepsake safely inside this wedding album. A momento to definitely cherish.

 

 

Page 1. This is a fun page full of inter-actives. The paper on the front of this gatefold page is flecked with shiny gold. The golden embellishments in the corners set off the page without overwhelming it.

 

 

Opening the magnetic flap shows all the golden papers reminiscent of earlier times. I love that era!

 

 

Opening the other flap shows the pretty inside with 2 large mats/tags. Golden threaded lace adorns the inside of this page. Love how that gold shows up against that navy!

 

 

The 2 large mat/tags from inside that page. Large photos or lots of journaling can be incorporated on the backs of these.

 

 

That paper reminds me of the paper that used to be used on ceilings many years ago (except it was always white). My mom single handed papered many a ceiling when I was a little girl in those big high ceiling rooms. hehehe Any way, I love this beautiful golden floral paper!

 

 

Everything back in place and the giant top load mat/tag is pulled out a ways to show. All pages have large top loading mats/tags matted in navy blue. Lots and lots of space for pictures and journaling.

 

 

Pages 2 & 3. Glitzy and Glamorous was the theme of the Great Gatsby for sure, I hope I've accomplished that in this album.

 

 

Page 2 offers a nice big pocket that would hold lots of photos and momentoes. This one is adorned with a pretty navy sheer ribbon.

 

 

The booklet inside the pocket offers another place for photos and journaling.

 

 

The booklet inside also has a pocket which holds 3 tags/mats with ribbon pulls. There is 'bling' embellishing the pocket.

 

 

These are the mats/tags inside the pocket of the booklet.

 

 

Check out that 'bling' on that mat/tag....

 

 

Page 3. This page has a double side cut pocket. The base is embellished with a sparkly golden ribbon and the pockets hold nice size mats/tags.

 

 

These are the mats/tags from those golden side cut pockets. All the mats/tags are matted with the navy cardstock.

 

 

Yep! The large sentiment is actually another booklet! More and more space for those precious memories.

 

 

The large top load mat/tag is pulled a bit to show it's size. Large large large. They are all accented with golden ribbon loop pulls.

 

 

Pages 4 & 5.  I really like these pages also.... let the gold flow and bring on the sparkle!!!

 

 

Page 4 offers inter-actives and more glitzy glamour. There are golden shimmery ribbons adorning this page and 2 silver metal inter-locking hearts.

 

 

Lift the top flap to expose a bottom pocket which holds a large sentiment mat/tag.

 

 

The large mat/tag from the bottom pocket emblazoned in golden writing.

 

 

Page 5 is very inter-active and has lots of glitter and shine. On the front there are 3D inter-locking hearts and that is actually a book.

 

 

Open the booklet page and there are several wedding sentiments. On the 'something old ...something new...something borrowed ..something blue' I put on a 'blue bow and key'.

 

 

Flip the page and yet another beautiful sentiment and the base pocket page shown. The base page has a sparkly glittery chandelier and the pocket is punched with a lacey border. Inside the pocket are good size mats/tags.

The giant mat/tag shown. So so much can be put on these huge mats/tags!

 

 

Pages 6 & 7. Glitzy glitzy glitzy. What a fun era to replicate! I'm sure the wedding will be "B"eautiful with a capital B!

 

 

Page 6, another golden glittery page that is also inter-active. The pretty golden sparkly ribbon and lacey punched flaps makes this page look so retro!

 

 

Lift the top flap to show more pretty golden papers and places for more pictures and journaling.

 

 

3 flaps and all 3 are adorned in golden papers and lacey punches.

 

 

Page 7. A large handmade envelope that holds a large card inside, perfect for writing a personal/special note to the bride and groom which can be then hidden away and kept private for their eyes only. I have adorned it with the inter-locking hearts and pretty golden polka dot ribbon. The envelope flap tucks nicely behind the ribbon.

 

 

The card from the envelope is also a pocket tag holder. 2 more tags/mats are kept safely here.

 

 

The 2 tags/mats from the card pocket. I've included so many places to put all those special wedding pictures and journaling.

 

 

Card back in place nice and secure and the huge top pull mat/tag exposed.

 

 

Pages 8 & 9 sparkle and glam! I love pages that are inter-active and has moveable elements, so I try to include lots of them in my albums.

 

 

Page 8. Again, I'm sorry for the coloring in some of the pictures, I assure you, the coloring through out this album is consistent and beautiful. This page has 2 handmade envelopes that house 2 pretty cards that special notes or momentoes can be placed. The golden/navy punched spots are the flap holders.

 

 

The pretty golden polka dot cards (argh! sorry for the blurred pic)

 

 

Page 9 all the spots ARE golden. I know never to photograph my albums in this particular location again.... hehehe Golden ribbons again finish the flaps on this page and embellish the large sentiment booklet.

 

 

Open the flaps and the pretty booklet is easily accessible.

 

 

A closer look at the booklet.

 

 

The inside of the booklet

 

 

The super large top load tag/mat shown part way out.

 

 

Pages 10 & 11. More beautiful golden bliss!

 

 

Page 10 has top flaps that are also adorned with the inter-locking hearts. More golden sparkly ribbon to carry the consistency through the album.

 

 

Lift both the top flaps and there is another roomy bottom pocket. This pocket holds 2 large sentiment mats/tags and there is plenty of room for several more photos and momentoes here.

 

 

The 2 large sentiment mats/tags from the pocket.

 

 

Page 11 is very inter-active. Note on the far right the 'pull'...this is a tri-fold page.

 

 

Open the tri-fold like a book first to show yet more golden pretty papers.

 

 

 

Flip that tri-fold over again and the base page is revealed along with the large sentiment mat/tag.

 

 

Grab that pull and bring it back over to show the backside of the tri-fold. So much space for more and more photos while keeping with the golden theme.

 

 

Page 12. My favorite technique is of course the 'waterfall'. I still think it's an amazing technique that holds so many photos in such a small space. Love it!  The dark navy ribbon holds the waterfall closed.

 

 

A close up of the waterfall.

 

 

The inside of the back cover is decked out in a bottom pocket. There are 3 mats/tags in this pocket and many more could be held there. All these have the golden ribbon pulls. Gold polka dot ribbon embellishes the pocket.

 

 

The mats/tags inside that lacey punched pocket.

 

 

The inside of the magnetic flap has a sentiment tag affixed to it. The paper on the inside of the album is a print of small golden polka dots. Soooooo cool and soooooo retro.

 

 

I must reiterate the coloring on this album is so nice and not brown.... but wanted to show it one more time. Thanks for taking your time to view my blog and I wish my photos would have been better on this album. It is such a pretty book and hope it becomes a one of a kind keepsake.

Stop back again soon, as I will have more to show you as I have many orders and Design Team projects that I will be posting very soon. I'm also working on a mini album style that I'd like to do in the near future....it's in my head still, but soon it will be a reality; I will yell when it's ready to show.

I sincerely appreciate your time and all comments.
