Lances Graduation Book



Howdy, sorry I've been so neglectful on my blog, lots going on in my world, so lets get back at it....
I decided to give my son his mini album that I made for him, originally it was to be a Christmas book, but I felt that he is moving on with his life so fast that I wanted to give this to him while he still held some of the pride of his accomplishment. Also, to let him know how proud we are of him and the man that he has become.
So, since this was no longer in the gift pile I wanted to share it with my friends that have joined me on my life adventure.
There are alot of really cool items and techniques that I used on this book. If you have any questions please leave a comment. My first obstical was the book itself, you can purchase any size, shape, layout your hearts desire if you are wanting to make a book of the University of Texas, Texas A&M, but if you happened to graduate from Texas State, good luck so my answer was to design a book specifically for Lance. The actual raw book was purchased from Creek Bank Creations during the Arlington, Tx GASC, you can access their store by googling Creek Bank, check them out I think their stuff is amazing. I have lots of ideas swimming thru my head for future custom books.
One of the things that I learned is that it's not so easy to flatten a Miller Lite bottle cap (without damaging the logo!)...lol!
I trust that everyone is safe and enjoying the beautiful weather.
Thank you for stopping by,

  1. Great job on the album! Another option for the miller cap is to either punch a hole in it and use it as a charm or fill it with UTEE. or you can always add a bunch of dimensionals nd attach it as a chunky embellishment. I love the album adn hopefully your son appreciates it. It is so hard to scrap for men sometimes! I also love the collage pages! I also like the mini license plates and tags!
