This
album documents my son's life, starting with his birth and continuing until I
get to a point that it's too full and I'll move on to another album.
This
album is a Creative Memories 12x12 album in Mulberry. If you'd like my
reasons for not liking this album, click here. All
of my projects from here on out will be in a top-loading Dalee album.
With
this album, I really started to get into embellishments and away from the CM
method. In other words, I started having FUN with my hobby.
Here
are the pages:
Why I Don't Like CM Albums:
First,
I want to start using printed or colored cardstock for backgrounds and without
wallpapering the strap-hinge CM pages (which would add too much weight to the
pages, in my opinion), I can't do it.
Second, the pages are not true 12x12. This was a deliberate move on CMs
part to keep people from wallpapering, thus adding too much weight to the pages
and risking damage to the staples.
Third,
because strap-hinge are pretty much locked into one order once the pages are
complete, especially if you do two-page layouts,
I'm locked into the page order I put the album together in and I can't rearrange
the layouts once they are done.
