Family scrapbook
This is my Family scrapbook mini album that I made with
family pictures from the Christmas holidays we spent in Turangi, NZ in 2006. It
was made with the 7gysies chipboard mini accordion album in a purse.

The family mini book with a chipboard purse
to keep it in.
Scrapbook papers:
The papers are the Scenic Route Laurel range.
Embellishments:
I really tried to minimize the use of lumpy bumpiness so
that the accordion album insert would fit nicely into the assembled purse
without any trouble. So there are a few prima flowers, some buttons and brads,
chipboard frames by Lil Davis and some Strano ribbon.

My Nephew and my daughter on the very first day that they
ever met.
The monograms were made by tracing chipboard letters onto bazzill cardstock
then carefully cut out with an exacto craft knife. They were backed with
patterned paper then I machine stitched the edges with contrasting coloured
thread. |

Riley again with the family in the background.

My sister Anya. I cut out some shapes from the patterned
paper to form this collage. |

Mr Riley again. |

My Nan and Akw. I cut a piece of patterned paper for the
check box and doodled the squares and titles with a zig writer. |

A bit of machine stitching for some definition. |

Layered paper, ripped and stitched - topped of with a
