For my project today I wanted to share with you a custom album that I recently made for a friend. This is an 8x8 acrylic album. She wanted it to match her wedding colors which were gold & white. Now for those of you who scrapbook, you know that a lot of wedding paper comes in cream & gold, but rarely in pure white. I ended up using the cream & gold and also adding some white accents to this album. At one point I ran out of paper and had to send my husband to the store to pick up some more and he did a WONDERFUL job picking out extra paper for me for this album!













All flowers in this album were handmade by me (except the little white primas. The large roses I made out of plain white cardstock and sprayed them with iridescent gold glimmer mist.

Make sure you check back each day and leave me a comment to let me know you were here! I will be doing a giveaway at the end of this hop to one lucky hopper who has stopped by to say hello each day!

Now Hop on over to see what Shawnee has in store for you today!

  28. BEAUTIFUL!! My hubby won't step foot in a Michael's or AC Moore because he starts to sneeze from the "smell" -- the potpourri? Or is it the smell of my money in their cash registers??

  37. Yet another gorgeous mini album, Emily! You never cease to amaze me! I hope I can keep up with 4 days of hopping. I actually have a wedding to attend next weekend in Austin, TX and I'm making the wedding album for the newlyweds' wedding gift! I must have been temporarily insane for offering but I think it will be fun and great practice for me.
