Hello Maja Friends.  A very Happy New year to all of you. I am happy to start my first post this year with a special mini album made for my friend’s Granny. And you may guess that it was such a pleasure to look at all these old precious photos and to read the story of one family.

I have chosen Vintage Summer Basics collection to create with, I think it is so perfect for such family history album.

There were many photos that my friend wanted me to include into the album. It was not simple, but I made several hidden pockets and placed some of the photos under each other.

VA2  Some of the photos had some notes, so I scanned them and placed into the album too

Secret2just love this wooden prints on the paper, so perfect for black and white photos.

I didn’t want to use any extra mediums there, just some torn edges, fabric touches and beautiful papers
