Album Workshop Number 3

I'm just popping in today to show you the results of the last Facebook live workshop with Clare Charvill (My Creative Spirit) just over a week ago. I enjoyed making this so much I made a second straight away. You might find this post a little photo heavy.



My first make used papers from Crafters Companion's Downton Abbey which was bought out a few years ago now. I decided that it was time to use these gorgeous papers.


As well as making the box with a sunken top for showing thing off in we made two brag books to go inside.


One was landscape and one protrait, both held together with ribbons.


As you can see for the photos I've left the pages very bare in this version, just right for placing photos onto them.


As these books were concertina style I used the same papers on both sides.


For my second make I used Graphic 45's Midnight Masquarade collection. I've had this in my stash for sometime but until had not used it. 

The sunken top with a tiny pair of binoculars in along with a framed picture.


The brag books inside the box.




Unlike the last box and books I decorated the inside pages of these two with bands and small pockets.


I love the gorgeous papers in this collection, the colours are so vibrant.


I'm now getting ready the workshop 4 which is this coming Friday and Saturday evening between 6 - 8 pm where we will be making a beautiful Polly Pocket Album. If any of you are interested here is the link to the project and instructions of what you will have to do, If you can't make the times it will be live you can still do the project as the video stays on the Facebook group page so you can access anytime you wish to.

Hope that you are all staying safe and keeping well.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

This is a fabulous project - not surprised you wanted to make two of these interesting boxes with the brag books. A great way of using some lovely sets of papers too.

Gosh these are truly awesome. Love the second box very much. Hope you are keeping well and safe. Not ventured out for anything yet. The dentist rang this morning and cancelled the appointments for beginning of July that had already been changed from March as they are waiting on PPE to arrive. No news from my hairdressers as to when or if they are opening up again. Things are going to be very different in the future and a new normal to be established.
Hugs Mrs A.
