A Place in Time

I was just reminiscing on of my places in time from nearly 20 years ago. Oli my gorgeous oldest bean will be 20 tomorrow.  I can't believe it, from small to tall in next to no time, or so it seems.  He's features in a few pf my projects over the past months and pops up again in my "Place in Time" album.  
Made from the 8 x 8 paper pad of the same name its an album to hold a favourite picture for every month of the year.  There are a couple of my favorites of Oli in this one too. 
I set myself a challenge to make the whole album (excluding the cover) from the paper pad using the foundation page and cut a parts in a variety of ways to make each page look different, and then using the Graphic 45 Signature Series 12 x 12 cardstock assortment for the photo mats, and I managed it.  
Here s a quick look at a few of the pages: 

A Place In Time - January 
A Place In Time - March
A Place In Time - July
A Place In Time - October 
If you'd like to see all the pages in the album just click on the video link below:

    1. Hi Beckie, thanks for stopping by and your message. The cutter is a corner slot cutter bought from my local craft store. The only place to see the pages is on the video apart from the ones on my blog. :-) C

  7. Simply masterful!! A stunning work of art! You have inspired me to create one for a dear friend of mine. Watching you work helps me to feel more capable and confident in my own ability to complete the project. You are such a gifted artist. So many of us appreciate you sharing your talents with us. Also, can you share the dimensions you used for the album cover, pages & spine? That would help me so much. Thank you!

IndigoBlu Tags  Happy Friday everyone If your a follower of mine you 'll know that I've been off work for a while following an op, but my life as a lady of leisure came to an end this week when I returned to the world of totally british beautiful fast fast cars and ones that go anywhere!!  I had a wonderful welcome back from my colleagues so thanks to everyone for making my first day as good as it was.  I thought I'd feel like the new girl, not able to remember anything, but just like riding a bike it all came flooding back :-) Now I feel like I've not been away lol!!!    I cant deny I'm not pleased its the weekend and I've got time to re charge my batteries before attempting another 5 days on the trot :-)  As I've just joined the IndigoBlu team official this week I thought I'd share a couple of tags with you made with stamps from the  Pomp and Pageantry and Grand Tour 1 plates and the ledger background which I really love.  Tag 1 IndigoBlu
