I just adore MME Lost & Found Two! (Weeeell, any of the Lost & Found ranges!!)
And when I had these papers and embellies in my hot little hands, I just knew I wanted to complete an album of my Mum and Dad, and Dad's brother and his new wife out on an excursion to Oatlands (here in the midlands of Tasmania) in 1958. Even though I only had dull little black and white photos to work with, the MME papers brightened their day away up beautifully

oh, and forgot to say the bauble trim is upolsterer's trim.. so its quite big

This is just totally gorgeous, Mandy and how precious are those photos.

I love it. I wish I could make albums like that. I two or three pre-cut albums at home, that I have been wanting to do. 2009 album can you use that or do have to get the card board and cut the pages out and hole punch holes. Thats why I didn't do the christmas album. Started to but pages were off square and didn't line up.

thankyou

love it missy

Hi Kay!! weeeell, being a bit of a shabby girl... I dont mind things being a bit unsquare Lace and bauble trim hanging over the edge does wonders and covers a mulitude of sins when needed

the only way to start is to have a go! there's nothing that cant be undone or covered and goodness knows I've done my fair share of that

and thanks girls

Ohhhh Mandy, this is so so gorgeous!, thank you so much for sharing

Did you buy the album like that so you can scrap or did you cut all of it out? Thats why I have done an album like that. I have albums with 2009 cut out on the top of the front. Will that be ok to use?

Thanks

It was a bought one, but not to the size pages you see here so..yep, I cut it to suit. I cut the pages to different lengths...

you do your's however you like... how you'd like it to look! you could have shaped pages, or just straight across ones.

Ahh.. me too

Thanks girls for your lovely comments

no mistakes in art, just opportunities to do things differently
