Album in a tin

This started out as a simple idea, buy a $2 tin of biscuits, take them to church so I don't eat them, then make an album in a tin.  Turned out that was the simplest part.  Yes those of you who know me will understand that I underestimated the time it would take to make as well as the materials required. How to clean ones stash out of cardstock :)  The end result I love & YES I would make another as I think its lovely enough to sit on the coffee table & hold a years record of family events - gee I need one - mmm so do a few others I know & they do make a very special present.  So here are the photos outside first then flipping through the album one way then back the other way.  Most of the decorations are put on in such a way that a photo can be put underneath them, I even put in an extra heart corner for the top of the page if required. Spots for journaling & will take a photo underneath & some pockets & tags included as well. Its the first time I have used collectables, must say I love them.  I used so many different paper ranges in creating.  The recipient of this one I hope treasures it & enjoys adding pictures & some of their own touches.  Blessings to you :)








 This is what you see when you first open the tin.

The End!
