I made this little scrap book album to give to my hubby as a momento on our Ruby wedding anniversary, lucky for me he appreciates things I've made, he says they have more meaning.
I made the little book from envelopes by sticking one to another by the flaps until I had enough pages. Being thrifty I got a few wall paper samples and then chose a french style one with birds, butterflies, postmarks and music etc. I cut it up and covered the front, back and each page. I dressed it up with bit's and bobs, a little over the top but hey why not!
I had to rummage through our old photos, scan them and print them the right size to fit two on each page. The photos were backed by frames which I made to fit and printed off from the net.
The photo's covers only a fraction of the years since we met, 44 years in all
It was a fiddly process and ........yes.......I could have bought an album but I enjoyed making it and he wouldn't have liked it as much.
