Create fabulous Holiday Keepsakes



Morning and very Happy Monday to you all.  I'm home after an uber creative weekend at Sirstampalot, Peterborough and up bright and early to start on my to do list for the week before heading up to Sunderland on Friday.  It's all go go go this month which is brilliant.  I'll post pics from the weekend tomorrow and share the gorgeous projects that the ladies made over our two days of crafty heaven. 
Today's share here, and over on the Graphic 45 blog, whoop whoop is my new Cityscapes post bound album.  This is one gorgeous paper collection and just perfect to create keepsakes of your vacations this summer. Gorgeous blues, oranges creams and chocolates all blend together perfectly through each of the papers and work so well together when you layer them up. There s loads of fabulous images to cut out and layer up too.   
As you know if you're a follower my albums are all about the photos we take. In this album I've added die cut photo frames with slide in slide out mats to make it easy to add and change the pictures.   Post bound albums are a great way of creating an album too. You can add as many pages as you like, extend the posts if you need to and also change the pages around too to give your album a new look. 
Post Bound Album kits and the project sheet for the album are available from our website - links below: 
Here's the full video of the project and a few pics of it too.  Do head over to the Graphic 45 blog to to see more pictures of all the pages, get the full supply list and see the other projects being showcased today too


If you fancy customising your own post bound album here's how to make the basic album covers and pages
eek! I can hear the dustmen heading down the road so got to rush and put our bins out!!!!!!  Have a great day, thanks for calling by and hope to catch up with you again tomorrow when I share some fabulously crafty Event organisers made by the ladies at the class over the weekend.  ta ta 'til then :-) C

  1. Don't those colors work beautifully together. I don't know how G45 does it, but they always seem to make them work no matter what you do with them. Beautiful album for those who have that memorable trip they want to memorialize. Hugs to you! Ruth Ann xoxo
