I am a huge fan of Echo Park (as evident of my paper stash!). I bought For the Record I & II right after Christmas and have been playing with both paper kits but I was inspired to create a mini album for one of my daughters and knew For the Record was a perfect match!
This is the cover of my book:
I love how it turned out. I love the knob (it is from Tim Holtz). I purchased it at Paper Anthology. I have wanted to do something with a knob for a while and I love how it looks on the front of my album. The little black file folder is really old - I don't even remember where I got it from. I used the dress form sticker because this album will be all about my daughter and her love of fashion.
Here's the first page:
I am going to journal on the top portion - explain the thinking behind the book. The bottom page contains a pocket and the card stock pulls out for a photo. I really love the little butterfly on the pocket - it is by Pebbles.
And the next page looks like this:
These 2 pages are super simple but work nicely with the book. The next page is a bit more detailed:
I love tags so I had to incorporate one into my book. I'm not sure if I will put a photo on it or journaling but I like the way it looks. The bottom page is a side pocket that can be pulled out for another photo.
I have more picture to share which I will do tomorrow. Thanks for checking out my book. Now, I have a question for you - if you have a bind it all let me know what you think of it. I am getting addicted to making mini albums and I am wondering if the investiment in a bind it all is worth it??
Have a great day!!
