Birthday Mini Word Book

Sorry Bloggers this is a long post and Image heavy.

Likewise to my Aunt (who loved her Birthday Mini Album - posted back in June) i wanted to give my Mum something Handmade to go with her presents.

I bought one of the new Papermaina word books from Ebay (i am trying to stay out of the Range - i spend way to much).

I didn't really have a final image in my mind just let it flow and this is how it ended up....



I used the Papermaina papers, family pictures, Glitter transfers (love them) gems, flowers, buttons, ribbons, frames, felt butterflies and some glass pendants to hang from the front. I did ink the edges of the pages but you cant see it that well in the photo's.

The first page is a simple, no pics as two small a space.



Inside most other pages have a picture and then state how my Mother is connected to the picture..so a picture of my Mum (on a extra acetate page), i added simple words to the flowers like, Special, Lovely and Beautiful Friend.



This page has a picture of my Grandparents and the word Daughter.



Now the pages get to long to fit in one shot!!

Had to fit in a felt butterfly - love them.



This is an OLD picture of me and my brother together, a rare picture of me that i like, lol.



The word Mother, with a first for me, i tried to make a flower out of lace i am not sure it worked but i still like it. Followed by two pictures of my Mum and both me and my brother. I love the little frames -i had a box full of different bit and bods by making memories from Hobbycraft in the sale for a pound - so cute!





This page holds a picture of my Mum and my Children just after little Morgan was born, seems like an age ago! and very Simple, the Word Grandmother.





This page has a shaker box full of clear hearts and the words love to show off the word Wife, i do not have a great picture of my mum and Steve so have left the following page blank for her to fill in frame. (however if Steve is back in the country soon i may ask him for one - if i ask my mum directly she will know i am up to something and she lives to far away to snoop one!)





The back of the album. A basic frame with a picture of the girls together, My Nan, My Mum, My Daughter and Me. The wording ' 4 generations'. I have not added to many embellishments to this page a it may get a bit of a wearing being so exposed.




That took ages to upload!
