I thoroughly enjoyed creating this album with my granddaughters birthday pictures. Along with the album, you will also find a new set of gorgeous dies perfect for your album! I've used some of them on the cover.
There are also film strips included with the album. Here I painted it with gesso and then wove ribbon through the holes. The stitched frame, arrows, and tags are all part of the new release. I have included complete directions on how I created the cover and this page below. I've also included a few more pictures for several other pages I created for your inspiration.

All of these dies are part of the new collection. You'll definitely want to check them out, they are incredible!
One of my favorite things to do with the film strip was to make a shaker window. I glued three strips together to create enough depth for the shaker. I created a hinge from the design paper to add the strip to the page.
Can you tell we had a donut theme?
Oh Sarah, your album and your beautiful granddaughter absolutely captured my heart. This is so special!!!!
