Vous allez maintenant comprendre pourquoi je n'ai pas partagé beaucoup de nouveaux projets récemment : j'étais occupée sur un travail de longue haleine! Je peux enfin vous le montrer. C'est un album de bébé avec une page pour chaque mois et il sera offert en cadeau à une de mes collègues de travail qui part en congé maternité. C'est la quatrième de six cette année!
You are about to understand why I haven't posted a lot of new projects lately : I was busy working on a time-consuming project! It's a baby album with one page for each month of the baby's first year. It will be given tomorrow to my work colleague who is leaving on her maternity leave this week. She's the fourth of six of my colleagues who are having babies this year! I am fast running out of original ideas (and time)!!
Les papiers utilisés sont une ancienne collection appelée Sarah, qui vient du temps où les papiers n'étaient pas double face et mince comme du papier d'imprimante! Ça m'a rappelé qu'il fallait faire attention comment on le collait car tout paraît au travers! Surtout pas de colle liquide avec ces papiers. J'ai aussi mélangé des papiers de la collection Points délicats que l'on pouvait se mériter pendant SAB car les couleurs se mariaient bien. J'ai pratiquement fini les deux paquets, ce qui fait bien mon bonheur, puisque comme vous le savez, je travaille à faire baisser ma pile de papiers à motifs!
The papers I used are from a retired collection that was called Sarah, back from the days when the Design paper was one-sided and very thin! You definitely can't use liquid glue with this paper or it will definitely show through! I also mixed a few papers from the Delicate Dots paper pack (from SAB) in there since the colors were a nice match. I brought those two packs down to a few scraps, which made me very happy - two more packs I can soon say I have finished!
L'album est en format 10 x 10 (en fait, 10 x 10½ car j'ai laissé un demi-pouce pour le boudin) et je l'ai boudiné avec ma Bind-It-All. Que vous faisiez des albums petits formats ou grands formats, il est utile de savoir comment préparer une couverture soi-même. C'est pourquoi j'ai composé un nouveau tutoriel pour vous montrer comment je fais mes pages couvertures, que vous pouvez voir ----------> ICI!
The album is in a 10 x 10 format - although the pages were actually cut at 10 x 10½ so that I would have an extra ½ inch to do the binding. The album was binded with a Bind-It-All machine. Whether you want to make a full-size album or a mini album, it is very useful to know how to make your cover pages, which is why I posted a new tutorial on my blog. You can see it by clicking -------> HERE!
Vous avez une page favorite? Dites-moi laquelle, je suis curieuse de savoir! La mienne? Je crois que c'est celle avec les dinosaures!
You have a favorite page among the bunch? Tell me which, I'm curious to hear! My personal favorite: the dinosaurs one - I think!
Ouf! Je suis très impressionnée! Quel bel album! La personne qui le reçevera en cadeau est très choyée! Honnêtement, je ne suis pas capable de dire la page que je préfère car elles ont toutes un petit quelque chose de spéciales!!!Félicitation!

Super impressionnant et super génial quel quantité de travail. La personne qui le recevra sera très choyé. Je suis un peu jalouse! Ma page préféré est celle avec le pirate.

Cindy,
This album is absolutely fabulous. It is hard to say which page is my favorite. I definitely love the dinosaur page, but for some reason I just love the 4 months page the most. She is very lucky to have a friend like you who would care so much to put this much time and effort into a gift. WOW!

Congratulations on a winning entry. What a thoughtful project!

This is a marvelous gift! I really liked all the pages...each unique and detailed and carefully done. If I must choose one as a favorite, I will select the 10 months page because it has a truck on it and I live in Texas...the state of trucks!!! Great job!
Posted by: Karen | May 12, 2009 at 08:20
Firstly, congratulations on being mentioned on Shelli's blog. You album is absolutley adorable! Thanks for sharing ALL 12 pages and the cover. The album will be a treasureed gift for a long time.
