Christmas Two Sheet Show-off Album

I used BettyBee's Two Sheet Show-off tut ( www.BettyBrett.blogspot.com ) to make this cute little album I sent to a friend for Christmas.
It uses graphics by Shelly Comisky titled Frosty Friends.  Her art can be found at D.A.I.S.I.E. Company at www.daisiecompany.com. 

David and Kim's Photo Album

This album is made using Kathy's Backpack tut (paperphenomenon.blogspot.com).  I used K & Company Susan Winget Spring Blossom paper stack.  I love these florals.  I also like the play of the light blue paper bag with the white accents.  I used an ek Success punch and a Martha Stewart large boarder punch. 

John and Robyn's Photo Album

This album was for my brother John and his wife Robyn.  (We have 2 Robyns and 1 Robin in our family!) This album is elegant in its simplicity.  I used Laura's Stack the Deck, from Followthepapertrail.blogspot.com.  It turned out simply beautiful.

I used DCWV The Tradewinds paper stack.  The foiled paper is just beautiful  One of the photo mats that is inserted into the pocket has a flap that is blank on the back to add journaling, the other is just the mat.

Here are some more pages.

Mom's Photo Album

Here is another album based on Kathy's Backpack tut. ( www.paperphenomenon.blogspot.com ) I made this one for my mom.  I used K & Co Susan Wright's Nature paper collection.  I made the pages slightly bigger so that I could punch the photo mat corners so that photos could be easily slipped in - no glueing. I also made the hinges slightly larger to make room for lots of photos.  I make photo mats for everything because I don't want to cover up the beautiful paper.  I put a decorated envelope on the right inside flap of each page for keepsakes and journaling.   

Dawn and Shelly's Sea World Photo Albums

I recently went to Sea World with my sisters Dawn and Shelly. We had such a great day! I planned that for Christmas I would make them a book with pictures from our trip. I used Kathy's, at www.PaperPhenomenon.blogspot.com, tut for her Perfect Little Scrapbook. I used two photo mats in each pocket because I had so many pictures. I love how they open on each page, and they pull out too.  I used blue and green backgrounds from my digital collections. I also used a Fiskars punch for the waves at the top of each page. I used Spellbinder dies to make the titles for the pages. I did make pockets on the front and back and put a decorated envy in them so they could keep tickets, journaling, etc. I left them a few blank spots so they could add some of their own favorate pictures of the day.

I am not a great photographer, but here are the pages.
