I'm back with the first of my found treasure projects I had an opportunity -- yeah!!! -- to start today!
I started with this set of cabachons:
I then grabbed some ribbon and and some wire and turned them into a flower, a bow, and a head pin:
And, these finally completed this family photo album:
CLICK ON PICTURE FOR A BETTER VIEW!
The book started from a plain photo album I purchased at a dollar store, removed the hardware from, and covered inside/out using coordinating cardstock papers. See here it is:
I added an old frame I had around the house, used some old lace to frame the book, added a few silk flowers and a rub-on to embellish! Now I have a beautiful album ready for my first scrap page -- whenever I get the nerve to do that -- LOL!
Okay, so tell me what you think!!!
Well, stay tuned because, like I said, I'm on a roll!!!
