It was my hubby’s birthday in August and not sure why but every year, there is always a mad rush to come up with a present or a last minute thought “ok, alright..I will make him something” followed by “crap, i dont have much time”….: P

So every time, I am not really 100% pleased with what I came up with and every year I promise myself that next year I will give myself more time to make a better one. It’s all a bit like on NYE when you make your new years resolutions.

This year, I have made him an accordion album from scratch with not that many pages so that it’s like an extended card. The idea was to print out instant photos on my pivi printer and then have everyone sign the album on the spot. I think this year, the layout could have been more structured with a bit more details.. (but i just didn’t have enough time, again…)

It was a bit hard to come up with the pages when you don’t know what the photos would look like. Thankfully, I bought the Technique Tuesdays’ “So Totally Happy” stamps by Ali Edwards and also her “Life Circles” stamps, they were very easy to use and the phases made it easy to work with any ‘partying’ photos. Everyone loved the stamps, even the guys noticed that I have actually made a card/ album…. lol
