I did get a bit of work done at the bench today.
I tried out this project
(great site for ideas and how to stuff)
Front
Back
- anyway - I followed the instructions, and I was fine up to the bit with the frame and making the pockets. I just could not see where she was coming from (or how it would end up!) so I ended up creating my own pocket system.

Then I did it again - using one sheet of heavy double sided scrapbook stock, and a lighter, contrasting pattern paper for the pockets - and I cut notches on the pocket edge so you could really see them. I also used a magnetic clasp to keep it neat. It is fairly plain because I had not decided it's place in live while I was making it - now I know it's destined to be an album/'book' I can add loads of extra bling. After having had a play I think it's better in the lighter weights - and it's a really novel album!

Hi P....it was me that did the tutorial, so apologies for the pocket bit being a bit fiddly. Thats what happens when you leave a guy in charge of a tutorial lol. :)
ReplyDeleteThat said, you've done an excellent job with yours, and i love it when people use thier creativity to change a design, you've made it yours and that is way more cool that sticking to my design.
In a few days i have an easier, but far prettier project like this going up on my blog, but i'll put it in Inspirational too. Definately one for the girls! :)
Thanks for trying this, it's great to get feedback so i know what is (do-able) and what's not in a tutorial.
The pockets on mine weren't perfect though, so don't fret too much, i think one pocket worked ok and the rest were more "visual" rather than functional.
Take care, :)
Calv.
