Happy Birthday Kelly

Hi Everyone,

This week's challenge at DYSU was timed perfectly for me.  If you know me, you know that I do all the scrapbooking for my niece, Kelly.  Well, next week is Kelly's birthday.  I always like to make her something special for birthdays and holidays.  Right now, Kelly and family are in Utah for vacation.  I know she will have loads of fantastic photos of her wonderful hubby and three gorgeous boys having a super time in Utah.   So, I made this altered album for Kelly.  

This week's challenge at DYSU is to show us your Winter projects!

This week's Sponsors:

Crafty Emma £10 Gift Voucher (exc p&p)

Digi Darla Digital Stamp Club One Month’s Membership

Inky Impressions $10 Gift Certificate

I used a kid's $1.00 board book for make this scrapbook. I cut the book apart and cover each page with paper.  I make a lot of these altered books, so I own a Zutter Bind - It - All, which surely comes in handy for putting these books together.  A good tip to remember is to lightly sand the pages of the board book to remove some of the shiny finish before gluing your DP to them.   Otherwise, the paper will literally peel off after the glue dries.

  I made lots of pockets and tags for photos and journaling.  There are loads of sweet embellies like charms, buttons, glitter, wire, stickers, etc. to add interest.

Here are the pages

The back cover has a little fold out tag book for extra pics.

Now all Kelly has to do is add the photos!

I've submitted this to the following challenges:
Cooking it up with Kaite - Anything Goes
Creative Belli Blog - Winter Christmas
The Paper Variety - Anything Goes
Anything Goes Challenge Blog - Anything but a card

Top Tip Tuesday -  Project made for gift

 

I hope you go on over to DYSU and see all the wonderful wintry projects the team created this week.

Have an awesome weekend!

Hugs,

Marcy
