8 x 8 Scrap Album

I was inspired by one of my wonderful customers (Kate), she said she had been searching the net and found a blog with a home made scrap book. ( lanaharvery.) Thank you to Lana and Kate.

I have had a go at making my own, using my photos from Canberra Convention in May 2009. I have used only Stampin' Up! products in creating this album, and to bind it I used a Zutter machine.

That was a marathon, well thats all the pages complete, now I have to assemble the album, using the zutter spiral binder. So you see it's very easy to make your own album using only stamps and a few basic accessories. Now it's your turn, have ago.

Happy Stamping, and Thank you Kate.
