What a challenge this custom order was, but a fun challenge. It turned out so pretty and colorful, making it a bright fun creation. This is an 8x8 album with lots of inter-actives and plenty of space for lots of photos and journaling. I love making each and every album different and one of a kind, as I hope they become keepsakes for the recipients. Join me now and check out this album, I will post a link at the bottom to the walk through video on youtube. Enjoy and if you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them for me.
The cover of the album. I used peacock patterned paper to cover the outside of the album, the feathered paper I thought shows well and was easy to embellish. I found a very cool vintage peacock photo that I matted and adorned with a lacey seam binding ribbon and on top of the ribbon I was lucky enough to find a neat looking peacock feathered charm with beautiful peacock feathers and chains with tiny charms on them. I also double matted a sentiment that reads: "Have a Beautiful Day" and embellished that with some handmade flowers made from the pattern papers in the album. The leaves are also made from the same papers. Green jewels complete the flowers centers.
The main spine. I added several ribbons that coincide with the colors in the album. I also managed to find a cool peacock charm that has a metal peacock and a good size peacock feather that hangs nicely all together.
The back of the album as you can see the pretty peacock pattern paper.
Inside the album as it's completely open. This is a side closure album with 3 large magnets that keeps it securely closed. Using the side closure not only keeps everything neatly and securely in place, but allows the front cover to be embellished completely. Double bonus!!
Inside the front cover and page 1.
Inside front cover you will see I have used a beautiful graphic that I matted and created a pocket to hold several additives.
The pocket is embellished with a black ribbon and a brass metal peacock. I have used the brass metal peacocks throughout the album to add interest as well as fun adornments.
Look at all the mats/tags that reside in that pocket! There is a very large one, and large one, a medium size one and last but not least, a smaller one. They are all matted and area perfect space for photos and/or journaling. The colors on these mats/tags is vibrant and beautiful!
Page 1. This page is inter-active. It's fun and pretty. Notice on the top left the brass peacock. He is everywhere. On the front flap there are 3 tickets that have been matted and hard mounted to create a matted tag holder. Black polka dot ribbon finished the tag as a pull.

Open the flap and you find a removable matted fold over tag. Also upon opening the flap you find the large bottom pocket which is housing 2 large mats/tags.
Inside the fold over is another mat/tag being held in place with a bottom sentiment stop.
These are the 2 large mats/tags from the large pocket.
All pages have a super giant mat/tag with black polka dot pulls. They are all top loads. Wow, so much area for photos and/or journaling.
