Wedding Gift

As part of Neill's wedding gift, I made a scrapbook tin. I know I have published others here, but this one I like the best so far. The bride and groom hearts are the front cover. When you open it you see the flower. More of the inside is shown too. The very last page of each column are the towels. I had to do two different views. They loved the second view.

Do you get that the Mr towel is

on the floor in a mess?

I found the idea for the bride and groom hearts and towel on splitcoast. My friend Whitney taught me how to make the tins and I put it all together using a SU scrapbook kit that is now retired.

Garden Flowers Tri-Shutter Album

You may remember seeing the tri-shutter train album I made my brother for Christmas. This one is a spring version with lots of flowers. I didn't make it for anyone specific so there are no pictures in it. The big flower is on the cover and the next two pictures are what it looks like when you open it. I didn't decorate the two side pages so that it can be used for bigger pictures.  I bought this tutorial from Andrea Walford several years ago.

Inside the Alaska Album

Today I am going to show the inside of the Alaska album that I made for Ken. I don't think I got a picture of the entire thing, so just imagine what it looks like all spread out. He was amazed.

One of the blogs that I follow regularly is Andrea Walford and her sister Sophia. Their things are amazing! I have never bought any of the instructions or templates that so many bloggers sell, but when I saw this album, I had to have it. (They had another one that I liked also but I was too late ordering it as it was sold out). Theirs was made up for Christmas, but I wanted something more masculine so I chose SU grey, sage, and nouveau chic designer paper.

The directions were so easy to follow and I am so happy with how it looks.

Ken's Christmas Gift

Now that Christmas is over, I can start posting some of the things that I made as gifts. This is the outside of the things I made for my brother Ken. The large book with the train is a photo album with some of our Alaska pictures. The box with a handle holds six greeting cards. The small book is a tea bag holder and the other book holds hot chocolate. I will be showing the insides in future posts.

Another Beach Scrap Tin

Here is another of my scrapbook tins. They are fun to make and decorate. I love the little sizzix die cuts, especially those footprints in the sand. These pictures show the front cover, some of the inside pages, and the bottom of the inside of the tin.

The water and sand is made by just tearing a strip of paper in random wave patterns.

DVD Tin Scrapbook

During the past year we have had a lot of babies born and weddings to attend. I made scrapbooks similar to this one as shower gifts. The first picture shows the outside cover of the altered tin. The second picture is the first page you see when opening the tin. My friend Whitney gave me this kit Sunday and I made it up right away. I think it is my best scrapbook tin yet. Sorry to those of you who received an earlier wedding tin.
