P.S. This post is also my entry for the Craft Hoarders Anonymous blog challenge #3. I have been collecting vintage photos for many years and these mini albums are the perfect place to show them off.
G45 Botanical Tea 8 x 8 mini album
Vintage photos on display
I love the interactive pages in this album and the paper colors work well
with the sepia tones of the vintage photos.
Last pages of the Botanical Tea Album
G45 Communique 8 x 6 Album. I like clean lines and letting the beauty of the papers shine in this album. The reds, blacks and masculine patterns work well with the album for a WWII soldier whose original scrapbook was falling apart.
First pages
Newspaper clipping and names and addresses of the servicemen who attended the party.
Pictures of the Wireless school in Calgary and tourist pictures from Niagara Falls taken by Gordon.
G45 Bird Song 4.5 x 6 Album, I used Japanese washi paper and silk book cloth for the covers.
Love the blues and pinks together.
These papers offer so much room for creating your own designs.
I am in love with the albums you have created. They are beautiful.

Welcome to blog land! I look forward to seeing more from you! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge #3!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue bird too,and the pink one on the cover. I like the way you can emphasize the blues and browns or the pinks and greens in this set. Thank you for the comment.
DeleteGorgeous Albums!! Thanks for joining us at Craft Hoarders Anon.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure. Thank you forgiving me a place to share my passion with others.
DeleteSwoon! These are AMAZING!!! I love mini albums! And I am totally stealing your idea of making an album to showcase vintage photos. I collect them, but they are not my family or anything, just old photos and images that I love to look at! I use them sometimes in my work, but never thought to make a mini for display! Duh! Thanks for the idea! Your minis are wonderful. Thanks for playing along with us at Craft Hoarders Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteGloria, I am glad to have inspired you to display your old photos too. I used photo corners so that I can remove the pictures if I decide they would be perfect for another project. In the meantime they can look pretty in the albums. Thank you for the encouragement.
DeleteGorgeous! Love the old photos displayed so perfectly!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dee for taking time to look at my creations. They were a labor of love.
DeleteBeautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing with us at Craft Hoarders!!

ReplyDeleteDonna, thanks for the encouragement. Looking forward to the next challenge.
DeleteWOW! These mini albums are amazing. I love to watch Cathy's videos too and subscribe to her channel but I haven't had the courage to delve into making one of her minis yet. This inspires me to do so! Thank you so much for charing with us at CHACB!
ReplyDeleteAmber, you should try one of Cathy's tutorials. It takes time to make each page, but her directions are very clear and there are lots of pictures. Thanks for the feedback.
