Envelopes book by Melissa Frances

I did have finally some times to finish the album from the Melissa Frances Scrapbook Expo class ! It was a two hours workshop, but we didn't have enough time to finish the book.
Here is the workshop's description from the Scrapbook Expo, Grapevine Tx website :

Memories Envelope Book Melissa Frances Taught by Kim Garner

This Melissa Frances designed mini album is jam packed with techniques and hidden pockets to be discovered. You will leave with a beautiful 8 paged album embellished and ready for your photo's. The neutral pallet of browns and creams compliments the Kraft album and works perfect for those that love to distress. You will also be working with our new Memory accents and some of our vintage inspired stickers for that timeless feel.

We provide full color instructions and an exclusive Melissa Frances tote to carry your album home.

Here is what's look like once done :

 

 

We have only made 3 pages in class, so I had to finish by myself the rest. I almost follow the instructions, it's just a little bit different from the original.

 

I've distress all the envelopes, tags, stickers...with the Tea Dye distress ink by Tim holtz.

 



 

 I din't follow exactly the instructions sheet for these two pages.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I still have plenty of stickers and cardstock die-cuts left to add more embellishments to this book. I even have 3 full paper sheets untouched !

 

I don't plan to put pictures on this one soon, but if I will it will be some pictures of one of our trip in France, maybe in a castel or old village, and I will use sepia colors.

 

 

I have enjoy making this album, and I plan to make one of my own with K&Company envelopes I bought few months ago at Marshalls.

 

I hope you like it...
