Many thanks to all who attended this years annual retreat. I think you will agree we had lots of fun and laughter along the way as well as creating some wonderful projects to take home.

It was great to see some new faces this year who were made to feel very welcome by my regular attendees.

I’m often asked at workshops, shows and get emails all the time about what my albums look like when I am finished them.

Well, as it happens, my Mum and Dad celebrated their Diamond wedding this year so it struck me that it might be a good idea to show you what I did with all the images that I took on the day!

As with almost any occasion like this, making the albums was easy and took little time, it was choosing the right images that took a little longer as there were so many images to choose from plus I wanted to make sure I had the best ones as I was giving the completed album to my Mum and Dad as a momento.

The actual tutorials I made these 3 albums with were:

Waterfall Pocket Foto Folio (#2)
Foto Folio #4
Foto Folio #5

I also wanted to store them so I bought a 10″ x 10″ cake box and decorated it to just finish it off.

As always, share you comments below or feel free to keep up with me on Facebook and Twitter.

I thought you might like to know that I will be at Strikes Byrkley Park Garden Centre this Saturday demonstrating some of Crafters Companions latest additions. Please pop along and say Hi, I’d love to meet you.
