Mini album from HOF entry
I thought I would start posting some of my HOF entry. This is the mini album I created for one of the assignments. It had to have at least 6 pages, various size photos and a unique closure. I created the album cover from a piece of cardboard, and used a binder ring to hold it all together. What makes this unique is that you have to slide the whole thing in and out of the cover, and it stays attached to the ring. I used the Hambly clearly heavy overlays for the front and back pages, and used some additional bits of transparencies and a Maya road sheer piece. This was really fun to put together, so many fun layers and shapes. I kept the embellishments similar on each page as well as the design, this helped create a nice flow from page to page. I created the die cut of the pumpkin as well as the label on the back of each page using a design software called Multi Ad Creator (back from my ad design days) I love this software! And yes this is the album I was called and questioned about by Creating Keepsakes, the page with the photo of me and boys. Still can't believe I messed up - Just a big "duh" moment I guess! Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend, I am in full blown planting mode!! Having so much fun digging in the dirt :-)

Christine, that mini album is gorgeous! I love how simple it is and yet so creative with the textures and various products you used. Love the cardboard too! Thx for the inspiration :-)
Totally gorgeous, Christine!
Love, Love, Love this album. I can't believe you didn't win HOF but I'm sure it's in the bag for next year. What a great idea for the enclosure.
This is wonderful! Please try for HOF next year, your work is truly inspirational.
