I was going to wait until next Monday to post this, but I'm hoping that I will get some new pages done before then! These are the fall and winter albums I made for our childcare center's auction. This was a great project to use up a lot of older stickers and embellishments (not that you can tell that any are missing...). Once again, I just took pictures of the cover and one set of inside pages as they were all pretty similar or basic.
The fall album...
and the inside... I have had these stickers for ages! Over 10 years I believe!!
This is the Chrismas/Winter album. I think this turned out to be my favorite album!
I am considering doing this closer to Christmas as a class and offering a variety of stamps and embellishments to decorate the pages. I'll have to play with that idea a little more!
Well, lots to do and hopefully some of it will be crafty! Only two more days til Spring Break officially begins!! Have a wonderful Wednesday and be sure to visit again soon!
These pages are great! Hooray for using up old stash, to make room for new! Hope the auction goes well!
ReplyDeleteFun and fantastic! LOVE all that orange on the first ones and the fab colors on the others. Perfect pages!

Had to giggle when I saw your Fall album...I still have that frame in my stash....haaa!Your albums are just lovely, and a really great way to use up stash.
ReplyDeleteBTW...thank you so much for all the encouraging comments you leave for me...you're a star!
These are really cute!! The Winter one is my favorite though!! I am such a sucker for anything snowman! You did a great job! I love coming to visit your blog! Your projects always feel so happy to me! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun little albums, they are sure to be a good seller at the auction! I know it is a long way off, but I'm looking forward to seeing the albums you design for the class =)
ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret for your lovely message on my “Monday,Blues post ” when I went to look after Mum and Dad . It was so kind of you and I was overwhelmed by your kindness.
ReplyDeleteDad is much better now, he has a recurring abscess , but a course of anti-biotics seems to do the trick. Sadly Mum had a massive stroke 4 years this May and will never be fine, she is unable to move or speak , but she can communicate by facial expressions, Dad is her carer , she has 4 x2 carers visits per day. So when Dad gets poorly I have to step to care for them both. Thank you again for your kindness. I am now back and on track .

Margaret these pages are super... I love the way you have done the layout and the autumn colours are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThis will be a FAB album when Its finished and kept forever.
Hugs Elaine
These are both fantastic! What a great idea and super cute.
ReplyDeleteLook at you! Another superb post! These are just joyful :) x0x0
ReplyDeleteI do love albums and these are cute and a fantastic use of stickers, I must say. I tend to hoard stickers only to use them sparingly so this is a perfect solution, thanks for inspiring me! Hope you enjoyed your time off and are refreshed!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Love both of them.....hmmmm....maybe I should get busy on some pages, you are encouraging me. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, you did a great job Margaret!! :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteLOL.....I had a blonde moment! Couldn't figure out how the post-it-note coordinated with these. Wow...
ReplyDeleteDon't tell anyone I just did that!!!
Once I put 2 and 2 together and the light came on, I LOVE them! That's an excellent idea to make these with assortments of stickers to decorate. The cowboy is adorable, must be the hick in me, but I really love the Winter layout.
Hope you're enjoying your Spring Break. I'm exhausted running kids around. Not as much fun as I remembered it being...hahahaha. Oh right, I'm the parent now. Duh!
BIG hugs to you my friend and I can't wait to see what you post next.
