A very sweet friend of mine recently had a baby and I made her a little baby album from the Thoroughly Modern File Folders and Gusseted Envelope, using All In The Family stamp set and accessories. The name on the front is blurred and the initial of the baby hanging from the star is blurred. I followed the pattern of the file folder with the Thoroughly Modern DSP throughout the album. I have seen a few albums made with these file folders but they are always cut square with all tabs and overhangs removed. To me, these little overhangs and tabs make the album interesting and provides an opportunity to do unexpected decorative things in an album. This album is really simple, allowing the recipient to add to it if desired or use as is. Since my friend is a demo and a longtime scrapper she may want to bling it up a bit. I can see ribbons and tabs coming out of the top for example. Here are the pics and that is all I am going to say about this project other than, I forgot to get a picture of the page that says baby, there is a pull up tab for hidden journaling, keepsakes, or additional pictures. I will be doing a class using these file folders to make an album so stay tuned!!
Have a nice day, I am off to plan a Christmas CD folder album class.
Way cute! You are so creative Martha, I want to be you when I grow up!
