Nicole Martel: FAVORITES KEEPSAKES MEMORY ALBUM/STUDIO FORTY

Good morning friends. I'm excited to share this adorable memory keepsakes album I created using the Vintage Glow collection. This collection is so pretty... I just love the soft colors and the flowers!! Lots of beautiful flowers and camera/books. It's so lovely.

This little book took me a few hours to create, but it was so worth it... There's so many goodies inside... stroll along and let me share some fun ideas with you! You're gonna want to make one for yourself. Just wait...

To begin, I used a few metal dies to cut my pages into book pages, envelopes and, pockets. I used a metal tag die to cut some of the elements from the cut apart sheet. Last year, I decided to invest in some dies I know I will use! It has helped me be more creative!

I used strong tape to bond two pages leaving part of the papers un-bonded to create a pocket for hidden treasures. I used a few edger dies to create pockets using the mini pages.

Seriously, isn't this beautiful? Lots of pockets and hidden elements makes my heart happy. This would be a perfect little memory keeping book to document your wedding memories or any other special event.

Here's a page where I used a metal tag die to cut out the image from the cut apart sheet and then I mounted it on the page using foam squares to add dimension and added the ribbon. I left the left-side alone so I can add a photo later... I may end up gifting this!

I used the ledger part of the journaling cards to add the sticker, sticker dots, and abstract stamping. The flowers were fussy cut from patterned paper.

I made sure to add a few journaling pages since this is a memory keepsakes album...there should be plenty of space to share the story!

I love how pretty this pocket page looks with the floral print and pink brick background. It's so feminine and beautiful.

I had this pink ribbon in my stash from a packaging I received and thought it would come in handy...never throw those bows out... they do in fact, come in handy. I tied mine around one of the pages and tucked in a 3x3 envelope I made using a metal die and pretty floral paper.

I added the "Happy Days" sticker to the flap.

Love how these papers are double sided... It makes the envelope pop even more inside.

Here are a few more pages with some die cuts and tags added.

I love the little butterflies on one of the die cut sheets (inside the globe)! I used scissors to carefully cut those little guys and added some stamping at the corner of this page and glued them down. I could used an entire sheet of butterfly stickers similar to these. They are so cute!

Here is a little grid of stamped images so you get an idea of how I included stamping throughout the album.

More pages and tags. I ended up making more pages than I initially planned, but I was having so much fun making this little gem...I didn't want to stop.
