Silly me embarked on an ambitious project - a mini-album to document our Sydney trip last year. Did I say "mini"? Well, the album turned out to be not so mini after all. In fact, it turned out to be rather thick - lol!
I used Maya Road's pretty little chipboard purse album for this project, and decorated it with papers and cut-outs from Basic Grey's Out Of Print collection. There were only five pieces of chipboard pages in the album, so I created additional pages with pieces of burlap, for some added texture and also because I had hoped it will not add as much bulk to the album. I then embellished the album with trims, pearls, and flowers.

The metal flower at the centre of the cover's flap is made by combining Prima's Vintage Trinket flower, and Graphic 45's Metal Flowers. I really like how this turned out. :)
Here's a look at some more close-ups of the cover and the inside pages.
Thanks so much for dropping by!
