This album was really a special album to make in honor of a special lady. Her husband ordered it, and I truly loved making this one. She would have loved it, as I knew her 'style'. He gave me permission to post pictures, so I hope you all enjoy this creation.
The pictures don't do the colors justice as they are pretty and vibrant IRL. The frame will hold a picture of her and I found a beautiful jeweled cross that I attached to the frame via a jump ring, and I made some flowers from the papers I used in the album. I added pretty green ribbon to set off the flowers. On the magnetic flap, I placed 2 angel wings and 2 pretty flowers made from the same papers that I used in the album.
I don't know where I got this ribbon, but it went perfectly with all the colors in the papers. It's light and sheer and I thought it added that needed element to complete the cover.
Inside the front cover is a pretty pocket that holds 2 postcards. The first page is magnetic and adorned with lace and a pretty fabric flower. The punched card slides under the lace and flower.
These are the cool postcards from the pocket.
The first page. The magnet holds it securely closed.
Once opened, there are several tags/mats hidden beneath.

All the pages have a side loaded large mat/tag. A pretty pink ribbon acts as the pull for them all.

I wanted to make sure there was ample room for several photos and journaling. This large album will accommodate both. I wish the pictures were better so you could see the vibrant colors and graphics. I delivered the album today, and he was quite pleased, which makes my heart happy!
Stop back again for additional projects I will be posting soon.
