Friends Always Album

Hi everyone! If you were able to attend CHA, hope you have recovered :)  Are you all looking forward to the new products hitting the stores as much as I am!  Especially the TA Glitter Glam, I can’t wait for all of the colors of that to be available! If you haven’t seen it yet, there is a link on the TA website homepage for a 2010 catalogue, where you can see all of the upcoming colors for Glitter Glam as well as all of the other new products coming your way.

For my January project, I worked with the Frosty Glimmer Glass Album. However, I modified a bit to make into a nonseasonal album that I’m giving to friends of mine that are moving to Seattle today. Going to miss them bunches…

The layout of the album is basically a theme per page. I left all the journal cards blank so my friends can write what they want to remember about each of the events documented in the photos. In addition to the photo pages, I included some envelopes that have hand-written notes from me and some of their other friends.

For the backgrounds I used a mix of patterned paper and glimmer misted sheets. The patterned paper is all from My Minds Eye and the glimmer mist colors are Sand, Crushed Shells, Meadow Green, Turquoise Blue, Suede, Twilight, Coffee Shop and Candy Apple Red. The paper in these albums is very nice, it really holds up to a lot of Glimmer Mist application.

I placed all of the photos into frames from the Pocket Watch Framed Font Set and the new Postage Stamp Frames Font Set. I just cut the little knobs off of the pocket watch frames to make them plain circles. I sprayed all of the frames with Dazzling Diamonds and Pearl.

The embellishments are from K &Company’s new Blossomwood Collection, My Minds Eye, Making Memories and Mark Richards. When I was done the book end ed up being so thick I decided to bind it with string instead of putting it back into the orginal wire coil binding. 

Well, that’s it for me today, for February the Design Team is working with Webster’s Pages and I’m sure you are going to see more of the new products in use as well, so check back often!  Take care and thanks for stopping by today.  Patty
