A LITTLE PEEK..................

Here is my latest mini-album.  I'm just posting a few pages. so. if you want to see the complete album come to my Open House on Saturday between 11am and 2pm.  I am also working on some other items for display so I hope you will drop by and see what I am up to.  Make it even more fun, bring a friend!

This album was made with the Close To My Heart paper packet "Roxie".  I love the fun combination of floral with the zebra print.  This paper packet will only be available until July 31st, so if you like it, make sure you get your order in soon.  Love the paper but not sure how to use it?  Come to the Open House and we will explore the CTMH Idea Book for examples that will inspire you!

 This page has a photo matt and a large tag.

This page has a pocket that holds a "card" that can be used for photos or journaling and, again, has a large tag.

I hope I have peeked your interest!  Come, see the rest at my Open House!

Are you collecting the SECRET WORDS:  today's word is CREATIVE.

Close To My HEART provides QUALITY and CREATIVE products to help you preserve your MEMORIES.

See you Saturday!

A Brides Book..................

This is a scrapbook I created for my sister-in-law to give to her niece at a bridal shower.  I have searched YouTube and Etsy and have not found another book like this it. 

The first picture is of the cover.  In with the ribbons on the binding are charms.  Each charm has a meaning.  The shoe = the brides preparations for the wedding; the heart=love; the butterfly=miracles; and the ring=promises.

 The second set of pages contain a tag to write a note to the bride from the giver and on the facing page, titled  "The Future Bride" are six tags for pictures and journaling of the bride as you grew up .

 The next set of pages and tags provides space for the bride to document her shopping for her gown and brides-maid dresses.  As well as any other preparations she would like to document.

 Next are pages for the mother and mother-in-law to write notes to the bride.  In this case there is a step-mother-in-law so a tag was included for her as well.

 The bridal shower is document in this set of pages.  Each page has a pocket containing six tags that were sent to the shower guests with the invitations.  They were asked to write something to the bride and bring it to the shower with them.  It was a hit!  One  of the large tags was the "guest book" .  Pictures could be added to the large tags.

 The last set of pages were requested by my sister-in-law for pictures of the bachlorette party.

 These are the tags that the guests filled out and the "guestbook".
