I'm sharing a special project today which I made for my niece who just turned 14.
The starting point for this album was the @doodlebugdesigns Kitty collection released last year and, yes, I had planned to create this album last year, but never found the time to make it on time. So I thought I absolutely had to make it this year before she gets too old to appreciate its content.
I stamped, colored and laminated the cover. I also created a paw clasp to hold the album closed, with the @waffleflowercrafts Paws up die, which I colored with Distress oxides and then laminated to make it more resistant. I glued 2 velcro dots with epoxy on the cover and paw pads. In addition, I upcycled a small notebook by creating a new cover for it, echoing the album cover.
Then the album has a ton of pockets which I hand-made, creating windows with square dies and acetate to store cute die cuts and stickers from the Doodlebug designs kitty collection, as well as hand-made die cuts, using the Doodlebug Cozzy kitties die set and the Waffle Flower Paws up die set. And the album also has some pieces of scrap which I saved from the making of the album and some adorable 3D stickers from Doodlebug, which were the true starting point for this album. I think I got every single one that was released in that kitty collection, so she has 10 of those to play with and stick on her projects.
Once she uses up the content, she can reuse the pockets to store her own little treasures. Hopefully the laminated cover will make this album long-lasting.
