Bambina Album Cover

Welcome

To my little corner of the internet. I'm a lifestyle photographer and I call Maryland's Eastern Shore my home. It's Chesapeake Bay country out here and it's just lovely. Full of inspiration. I have a husband I call "Clark Kent" because he's my own personal superhero. And... he looks awesome in plaid flannel. Hot dang. I have two little boogers who keep me on my toes and a yellow four legged child that always keeps me company. I love scrapbooking, curling up to a good movie, and dark chocolate M&M's. Thanks for stopping by... I "heart" your comments.

Bambina Album Cover

It ocurred to me yesterday that I've not yet shared with you the cover of the album I'm making for "the deuce."

And so today.... I shall.

I used an American Crafts 8x8 three ring album with a chocolate spine. It comes with a plain chipboard cover and I left it that way until I knew what we were having. Once I knew "it" was, in fact a "her" I chose some patterned papers and embellishments and went to town. These papers are SEI from the Mimosa Collection...

In the kit were some journaling stickers that I converted into a little label for the outside cover. The giraffe print ribbon is from Michaels.

An office supply tag and generic binder clip both from Staples with a number sticker from the Mimosa Kit as well and some ribbon, from Michaels or Jo-Ann's, I think.

I like to use Elmers Spray Adhesive to paste the paper to the album. Then I trim it with a craft knife and use a sanding block to get the fine bits down to the edge. Works like a charm.
