A flip album


Well, the project without end ... was completed yesterday. I finished the vacation flip album that was long overdue for my mother's birthday. I spent so much time making this little book and I know my poor mother is not going to look at much other than her great-grandchildren's pictures. I've gotten requests to make two more of these little "beauties." Hopefully I will find ways to improve the process and get it going at a quicker pace. I couldn't post all the pictures here on the blog but created a slideshow on Flickr that you are welcome to take a look at. Be warned some of the photos aren't the best, but the album has been mailed off and it's all I have to show at this point.

I'm going to skip listing all the details of the products used in the album - there's just too much to list. If there is something that you can't identify just drop me a note.

Thanks for looking and yes HE stamps!

Flip, Embellishing and Confessions


So my poor mother's birthday was August 31 and I've yet to finish her gift. I decided to make her a flip album of the kids on our recent vacation. I envisioned it to be so simple, something I could breeze through. Boy, was I wrong. It's like pulling teeth to get me to sit down and actually work on it - I loose focus like a first grader. I don't know what is the problem ... well, actually I do. Confession time -- I am a horrible buyer of embellishments ... I stand in the store or look at them in the cattie and think I could make that cheaper, which of course I CAN'T. Right now I would give my right arm for some On Board Batch of Blooms, So Tweet, or Essentials ...

Meanwhile, I plug along, finishing one page every day or two ... pathetic I know. I'll post something when and if I ever finish this project.

Thanks for looking and yes HE (sometimes) stamps!
