Each week when our challenge comes up I stop and think about how to proceed with the theme. less then a  year ago I lost my mother and always find myself still wanting to make gifts for her. This is an album cover I have designed and it could be used to put pictures in to remember my mother. (That is the stock photo in the window)

It is a very simple design but made me so very happy when it was done.

I used the following dies:

Medium Rose

 Large Rose

 Leaf

 Queen Anne's Lace Border

 Fanciful Flourish

 Large Metal Adaptor Plate

 French Pastry Doily

 Lace Corner Deco E

 I started with this plain black album that i didn't know what to do with, I added some Prima paper and cut out the picture window. a great blank pallet to start with. Used some of my favorite Tim Holtz ink to do the edges and finish off here and there. I used old photo I believe, the very lightest shade.

 I used my favorite flourish and most used die.I like to make many of these when i am cutting and always have them waiting to accent many projects. Can you tell that I shared some of the leaves? Love having dimension with my dies. I made a few different sized roses, some have many layers, some have just a few.

 

I loved how this lace border fit to use around the window and those doilies.

I cut two of the doilies then decided to use only halves-so now I have an extra one for a quick project.One last piece for the corners using the lace corners- just tucked in two corners.
I know this is a quick project but I couldn't be happier with the dies- they all look so elegant and perfect for the cover.
