Mother's Day Gift

I am the worlds biggest procrastinator. I get lots done but sometimes I wait till the very last minute to do the tasks that seem hard or challenging. I found this Envelope Memory Album on SCS a couple of weeks ago and thought it would be great to make this for my mom and mom-in-law for Mother's Day, which is this Sunday. Of course, I waited till I couldn't wait any longer and started and finished them last night. Sending them out priority mail today to make sure that they get to them by Mother's Day!












Now, I just feel silly for putting them off because they really were very easy to do once I got started. I didn't do a lot of stamping because I had
SU's beautiful decorator paper to work with. The first one took me about two hours to complete as I was trying to figure out where to put everything. The second one I made is nearly identical and took only an hour to put together. The pictures are mainly my two kids but I also put a couple of my nephews as well. These pictures show it closed and then the front side and the backside of one of the albums.

stamps: Bodacious Bouquet, All Year Cheer, Lexicon of Love, Friendship Flowers
Paper:
SU's Prints Sampler, Rose, Amethyst, celery, saffron, white, lilac
Ink: black, saffron, rose, celery, lilac
Accessories: brads, ribbon, hodgepodge hardware, punches, cuttlebug embossing folders, primas,

Kristine,
These are sooooo cool. I wish you would have made them last week so I could make them for my mom and mother in law. Now I just don't have time LOL. Very cool. They will love them.
