But this time I thought I would try something other than a card ... and for this project I have used a rather large Scrapbook Album.
The image that I have used is the Conductor and he has been decoupaged onto the front.
I stored it in "Picasa" which means I can now resize the image to suit whatever it is I want to do.
Picasa is a FREE photo editing software that allows you to store all your photos, backing papers and digital images.
The pink link will give you a wider explanation and also a link to their website.
You will never lose a picture again and you can edit, recolour or resize them as you wish.
For this album I have used shades of blue and each panel has been stitched and then I have layered them onto the front of the album.
Using the Donnas' Alphabet from the Spellbinders set I showed you testerday I have added Tylers' name.
This letters set is available from Save On Hobbies and will be a useful addition to your cardmaking "Stash"
The little fence is a Memory Box Die from
Oyster Stamps and just seems to add the finishing touch to the front.
The Pearl Flourish is from Want2Scrap and adds a touch of luxury to what would otherwise be a plain album.... but not too much as this is for a boy.

I have added Glamour Dust to the name and wrapped Bakers Twine around the spine.
I am sure that his mum will add all the special little items to the album that she wishes to treasure as he grows.
