Couldn't resist! I've started and am using Basic Grey Capella and other papers. Am very much enjoying not doing things that end up in plastic sleeves - still recovering from the 21st album

Oooh fabby Helen!!! so pleased to here! I so get what you mean! Its nice to do something a little different - with kinda a 'relax' about it

Done! well, as much as I'm going to until I know what the photos are. Biggest lesson - think about the reverse side when putting it all together, lol.

LOL - yep... I've learnt that lesson too! hee hee!

Make sure you take pics and put them here in this thread!! We wanna see!

I've done four more pages - 15-18th.... slowly getting there!

This is a shorter page for something different



and the other side of the shorter page









The numbers 16, 17, 18 are from a sheet in the Teresa Collins Noel Kit

Here goes

and another page

That looks soo cool!! Love the paint on the cover... and the flaps etc that you can utilise too!! Great work Helen!!!

My plan is to decorate it as I go. The paint on the cover is metallic, which that photo doesn't show - it looks really flat in the photo. And I don't think I'll be able to resist having ribbons/yarn/threads hanging off it once it's done either

Looks super duper Helen. I'm leaving my pages just with a base paper on them for now and will decorate as I go I think. Would be much easier when the time comes to just add a pic but I'm thinking I might get myself into a bit of trouble with mine if I decorate too early coz it's only a small album. Hopefully I'm on the right track and it won't be too big of a job all at the end. NOTE TO SELF.....keep on track and do it everyday, Deb.

That is my plan too Deb. I put it all together last night. Just need to embellish the front a bit more and it is all ready to go.

I'll fit my photos etc around what I've already done and stick in flaps if I need extra room which is what I did last year. The embellishing is what I look forward to do the most!

Waiting to see what you've done missy julie!!

for some reason i decided to put the numbers on twice? i started doign in and decided to stick to it. Who knows maybe i may pull one off but for now its like that!!
