I finally decided what to do with my wedding photos...
It holds 68+ photos.
The cover is made from a transparency and the inside pages are made out of die-cut patterned paper (I painted the back sides of the paper) and photo protectors in 3.5x5 and 2x2 sizes.
I designed it for a local fundraiser I am teaching at tomorrow and am so excited about it that I already have more albums underway to use as decor around my house (one in Fall colors to fill with all my favorite Fall photos, one in Christmas colors to put out every Christmas and one for each of the kids in different colors).
I've got extra kits, so if you want one you can check out more information here (they're $25).
Oh, and if you're a store owner who wants to teach this yourself at your store, email me at karencrussell@charter.net and I'll email you a PDF with all the instructions.
Karen -- I love this album. Beautiful design and I love the size. What a great way to store your wedding photos -- Thanks for sharing it!

Love it! I want to order one, but I have a question first?? Did you mean that you are going to be selling kits in fall & Christmas colors a well, or just that you could paint the paper on your own to match those colors? If so, I want to wait until the fall one comes out??
Posted by: Rachael C | September 27, 2008 at 12:43 PM
Oh my gosh, it is an absolutely beautiful album and perfect for your wedding photos. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE think about offering as kits the holiday or fall albums you mentioned. I would love to have those out to decorate for the holidays. I just love everything you do and think you are amazingly talented. Thanks for sharing!
