New products will be available starting September 1st!
I have been wanting to do a book like this for my daughter who is 10. This new album was just the push I needed to get it done! If you notice on the front cover one of the flower centers looks like it has a little something extra – that’s because it does. I really like these new spiral brads and just added a second spiral to give it more emphasis. I used liquid glass on all the numbers and letters. It really brightened the stamping. With doing so much at once I noticed two things: 1. I didn’t have one single bubble! and 2. that’s a lot of squeezing and my hand is really sore! I inked around all the edges when I was finished. It helps covers the flaws and really added a nice finishing touch. One thing I am going to go back and do is use my Made with Love stamp set to add a stamp to the back that will be perfect for this project.
