Hello everyone. I know it has been a long time since I posted anything. It has been difficult for me to adjust to losing my dear sweet Father and today is sad because it is his birthday, he would have been 95. I just keep telling myself he is with Mom and that helps. Thank you so much to those of you who contacted me by e-mail, through my blog or facebook, it really meant so very much to me!
I have been working on some projects and one is this beach album. Actually I am making four of them but finished the first to send to my childhood friend Sue for her birthday. I made her a necklace as well but I will post that probably tomorrow. She loved my Mom and Dad and when she received the call about Dad, her husband drove her all the way down to Florida from Ohio. It meant so much to me! My sister and I took her to Cocoa Beach (the beach we grew up with) She is afraid of the water and wasn't going to get near it, but with some coaxing from us she did and loved it (and was so proud of herself)! I made the album for her to put some of the photos that we took.

This is the front of the album. It is an album from the Silhouette store. I love how the edge looks like the waves! I added dots to look like sparkling wet sand on the edge and popped up the umbrella.
This is the first two pages. I cut the scallop shell with a die set I have and adhered it just on the bottom edges so a photo could be tucked inside.
Here are pages 3 and 4.
I added a card for her to write a special memory. The wave layers have a spot in-between them to tuck a photo in.
This is pages 5 and 6.
Another pocket for a photo.
And of course there had to be a mermaid! Isn't she cute! She is from a stamp and die set I have.
Here are pages 7 and 8. I believe they are my favorite!
I love the colors and papers!
You can pull the insert out of the pocket and add photos to both sides.
And this is the back of the album. I have never made an album before but tried to be creative. I really just made it up as I went. I do want to make some other albums and have one planned to make for my grand-daughter Ruby.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my album! Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
Hugs Pam
