Administrative Assistant's Day

I decided to make hand made cards for the ladies who work in our school offices his year and I chose to use iris folding.

 I first selected a butterfly iris pattern that I found online for free.  Then I chose 4 colors of patterned papers that I liked together.  These turned out bright and I was very pleased with the look.  I used different combinations of the colors for each so they would all be different.

Wedding Album - Jessica

For this album I chose to use a box style sleeve case and the album folds up is tied and slides inside the sleeve.  This is the front cover, I love the stickers I found they set it off perfectly.

 Here is a picture of the side of the box. I used a journal label and wrote their names, the wedding date and "Our Wedding" for the title.  Jessica's colors were black, gold, mint, and blush.

This picture shows the album collapsed and tied.

These photos show several of the album pages, I used patterned paper for the backgrounds and the mats and I stamped journaling boxes which I cut out and put under each mat.  Strips of patterned paper and washi tape were used for border accents.

The pictures just don't do it justice, it ended up looking very elegant and the bride to be was so very pleased.

Here I did a close up on the ribbons and the charms while the book was open so that you could see some of the cute stuff I have been able to find and use.

Same recipe as album one, just different stickers and covers. I just photographed a couple of the layout from this album, they turned out so cute!
