For my mom's over 80 Birthday I made her a memory album and want to share it with you here. The front and back covers are chipboard covered with quilt batting and fabric. The rest of the pages are made out of cereal or other food product boxes. I made copies of a bunch of old pictures and tried to cover the span of years from the time her and Dad got married up through their 60th anniversary this past year. Here's a peek inside some of the pages:
The layers below are made out of an upcycled junk mail envelope.
The tags are upcycled manilla folders.
That's me in the Army uniform with my mom, grandma and grandpa (her parents).
Isn't this the cutest picture below of my daughter at my college graduation in the WSU Shocker outfit I sewed and then there she is as a graduate. How time flies!
what a precious gift you have created for your mom! You rock at upcycling, girl! Keep it up! :)
