Hey crafty people, how are things your side?! Hope all is well and that you are creating beautiful keepsakes to store you previous memories...I know I am!
For now I will be sharing my Life Stories album with you. This album is created using the Life Stories Paper Collection by MME - I cannot begin to express how awesome these papers are! By now you know that I love kraft paper and this range is all about that. The quality and thickness of this paper is fantastic - right now I am trying to get my hands on the same paper stack but in a shade of green - love this paper people!
This album was inspired by Suzie from creative cafe; I loved loved making this album because it has so many different places for photographs and it has secret envelopes and nooks and crannies if you know what I mean. Of course photographs do not always do justice to such a album and who knows I might just make a video!

Anyway on with the album...
The cover is pretty simple - the gorgeous paper, some stickers and a workable photo frame. The binding is an old scarf and I added some brown doodads on the tassel's of the scarf - loved how it turned out!
I used the make of the paper range to name this album - "life stories" and hot glued it onto the bottom part of the binding. The fastener is brown striped ribbon and a clip. I punched a hole on the back album, inserted a brad and secured the ribbon at the same time. Super simple people!
The page below can house over 7 photographs and most also have journaling spots. See the round circle at the top of the page...it pulls out to reveal a long photo mat! A few more photographs can be inserted into the pocket to make maximum use of this page!
The green dotted paper on the next page is not from the collection - I added it to compliment the kraft coloured and toned paper collection. The lace lends it a softness I think and of course who does not love flowers and brads! The flap opens and the green tab is a pullout for another photo. Lots of tiny tags and journaling spots.
The next page again features the green dotted paper - a photo can slide under the circle that also acts as a journal spot. The flap opens and there is also a secret envelope behind the numbered journaling spot.
I love the page below and it has my favourite brown checkered envelopes that I so love using in my projects. Lots of tiny tags again and can house over 5 photographs.
The next page is awesome - the flap opens to reveal a more photo mats and journaling spots - see the additional images for detail.
The above page is my favourite - I just love how it opens to reveal mats for 3+ photographs. Superb!
The next page also has a green tabbed pullout for a note or date, the flap lifts up and down and can house so many photographs and notes.
This paper collection is fabulous people! I don't know if its still stocked but I loved the texture, the thickness and the quality - perfect!
The back of the album - simple!
