Family Album - Álbum de Família


Andréa, Júlia, and Clara - the three girls in my life.
 This is a 6-page chipboard album. So easy and simple! The photos are taped right to the chipboard. I just covered the chipboard with designer paper and photos. Different ribbons gave the pages a final touch.

As meninas dos meus olhos - Andréa, Júlia e Clara.
Esse é um álbum com 6 páginas, feito de papel paraná, coberto com papel estampado e fotos, coladas diretamente no papel paraná. Diferentes fitas dão o acabamento.







Green and Gray and Blue Album - Álbum Verde, Cinza e Azul


This album has a very clean look, with room for tons of photos and journaling. The pages are made with 12 x 6 designer paper, folded to create pockets for tags. I used the accordion technique to put the pages together.
The cover is made of chipboard.
The inner cover has a tag pocket, part of the scored binding.


Page 1 has a square folded in 4, secured by a clock hand. There's also a frame for a photo on the cover.



The pocket holds a tag.


Page 2 has a ribbon where I wire clipped a tag for a photo and journaling.


Page 3 also has a ribbon for 2 small tags. In the middle of the page I taped a folded and edge punched card.


The same ribbon holds a large tag on page 4.


Page 5 has an acetate and paper die card, held together with a brad. The punched flower at the bottom helps hold it in place.


I taped a piece of black/gray paper to the pocket for extra photos and journaling.


Page 6 has a punched flower to hold the tag with a piece of thread.


Page 7 holds a pocket with 2 tags.


Page 8 has a large folded card. I can insert a tag under the mat and another tag under the card.



Page 9 has a pocket for a large tag.


Page 10 has a mat punched on the edges for a photo.


Page 11 has 2 cards held by a brad ...


... and a pocket for a tag.


Page 12 has a punched flower that holds a purse charm.


The inner back cover has a lace pocket for 2 tags.


Here's the back cover.


Some of the tags.



Zutter Album - Vintage Look


I've received lots of items from e-bay and oh!mycrafts recently. Here's the album I've just made with them. There's lots of room for journaling and photos. Binding my own albums gives me a sense of real accomplishment of a project.

Recebi recentemente os artigos que comprei pelo e-bay e pelo site oh!mycrafts. Eis o álbum que acabei de fazer, usando muitos dos artigos. Encadernar meus próprios álbuns me traz a sensação de verdadeira realização de um projeto.

Life is Beautiful - A Vida é Bela

I tried a new card format with my scalloped spellbinder. It turned simple, but beautiful - like life should be.

Experimentei um novo formato de cartão com meu novo spellbinder em forma de círculo serrilhado. O resultado foi simples, mas belo - como a vida deve ser.

Flower Punch

Punching flowers and shaping them turn simple projects into real treasures.

Gratitude - Gratidão

For all the hugs you've given me
For always making me believe
There were no limits to my dreams
I was always on the winning team
For all I've done, you love me still
How can I tell you all that I feel?
Mom, I love you.
