Now onto my project.
I have to admit...I'm a rebel. When I agreed to do this hop, I had an idea to do Disney princesses. But then I thought...my daughters are waaaaay beyond this stage (one is 13 the other is 10). They're into Monster High and anime. So...I decided to do a "Grown Women" type of princess project.
So...here it is. A "princess photo album" made with paper bags, burlap, lots and lots....and LOTS of embellishments, paper flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and of course that fabulous Graphic 45 A Ladies Diary stack....check it out!
This is my front cover. I used the Graphic 45 Ladies Diary with burlap for the binding. There's tons of Wild Orchid Craft flowers, lace and pearls. The lady and title was "fussy" cut from one of the pages from the stack. Let me tell you....it was touch cutting that lady out! I didn't want to do it...but she fit perfect on the cover. Oh, did I mention that this project is made out of PAPER BAGS?!!
Page 1...yea...lace, flowers...all the stuff for a GROWN princess to put her most precious pictures.
Page 2...again, lace, flowers...and just feminine.
Page 3...in the top picture you see the photo mat inside the pocket. In the picture below, the photo mat is out of the pocket.
Page 4...flowers, lace...princess like. The tags were cut from the paper as well.
Page 5 was fun to make. I made another photo mat that opens up to 8 different pages for pictures!! Lace and flowers everywhere!! I even added a string of pearl on a couple of them. Embossing and more images from the paper was used as well.
Here is a close up of the photo mat.
Like I said...I'm a rebel but I think a grown princess would enjoy putting pictures in this book.
Up next is.....well, I guess the hop ends with ME! I hope you enjoyed it. Please leave comments...we all love comments.
