9x9 Memory Showcase album

This 9x9 album was so much fun to make - I used the Silhouette level 2 paper pack and added smokey plum cardstock to accent it. I used our photos from New Zealand. I also added dimensional Elements - some I covered with paper, others I colored with a marker and some I used as the 'pulls' on the tags in the pockets Hope you like it

New Zealand Alsorts Album

I decided to make one of these albums for my 2 friends who also eanred the NZ trip - plus one each for the other 4 ladies who earned both trips plus one for me and one for Jeanette Lynton as she gives us these amazing trips through CTMH.

I used the new Veranda level 2 paper packs and matching stickease along with colonial white and cocoa ribbons, antique copper mini medley and the new Spring blossom paper flowers.

 

On this  1st page I added a lift up flap - this way we can add a photo and journalling on the 2 inside panels.

I used Sparkles on this page for added bling.

Here I used the reverse side of the paper for a different look and added the stickease photo corners and ribbon for texture.

The left hand page has a fold out section for more photos 

Here it is opened :O)

Here are the last 2 pages of the book and here I added the stickease to the center of the flower :O)

Hope you like it :O)

Punting on the River Avon - Christchurch NZ

Here we are about to take a leasurly punt down the river - very civilized if you ask me LOL
It was such a pretty evening - a perfect end to a perfect day - followed by a meal in the 'Bard on the Avon" LOL As someone who comes from Stratford-On-Avon (the original Avon) it made me giggle but lots of fun was had by all :O)

I am back again :O)

It was a lot of traveling but so worth it :O) We had a fabulous time and here is I think one of my all time favorite photos of Rich and I - we were standing on the edge of Lake Takepo and the scenery was absolutely beautiful.
I am still totally out of sync with the time so I will try to get up to date here on my blog within a couple of days :O)
