The Statesman Interactive Album

Namaste Guys

I was commissioned to do an album tracing the 70 years of a fruitful life. This album contains photos and messages and quotes of his family and friends and dear ones.

This album took a lot of meticulous planning and layout and custom printing jobs. The whole album start to finish took a lot of time to put together because the client had a very specific about what she wanted and how she wanted it!

All in all it turned out great although it took forever to finish it.

Namaste Guys

Yes I know another Accordion Project but I assure this is different and I am calling this "Accordion on Adrenaline" lol...

I was commissioned to make something for a 40th birthday in a Masculine theme and it had to be unique and personal. So, I came up with doing a Massive Accordion to hold 40 Tags a tag each for 40 different people to add photos and messages on them for one special guy.

I used the amazing papers from Prima The Archivist by Frank Garcia. These designs were perfect for the look I wanted to create. I have used actual brass feet as the bottom. The letters and the tabs are Sizzix dies by #Timholtz.

Here it is.

Fall Explosion box

Namaste guys

I love Explosion boxes they are so versatile and they can be customized to any shape and size and color scheme and themes. ...just adore them.

But I wanted to do something different this time.. so, I had bought this die a few weeks ago and I had been planning on creating something 3 D with  it. ..There were a few hitches at first i had to figure out the height of the lantern and the height of My box. ...As well as the width of the base. ..and to add some extra weight to give it stability .

I have cut 4 if the die shapes and then attached them together to get a D shape. .The top part of the lantern was where u got stock add it was really tall for the box i had intended for it. So i folded them inwards and glued them all together and the whole thing came together.  Since this die is intended to have the window open up i wanted only one to remain open so i glued the others closed. 

I then glued it to the base panel of the box and added a brad on the open door to embellish it.  This was an after thought and I  should have done it before gluing the whole thing but hey this is how I  mostly work, adding things along the way. .

From there on it was pretty simple. ..I punched or a ton of little ferns using my punch bunch. ...punch Lol that's a mouthful. ..and after adding some dimensions to them i glued them on like a vine....
