8x8 albums *UPDATE*

trisha · **Posted:** Mon Jul 18, 2011 2:42 pm

As most of you know, my SIL owns the biggest floral shop in town.
When I showed her the 8x8 wedding/shower album I made for Bekah's wedding, SIL said there have been several people come into the shop looking for these and she thought it would be a good idea to have me make a couple to see if they sell.

So I did. The first one is a wedding album (it's not complete so that's why the ribbon is saggy;) The book isn't bulging yet. I decided to go neutral so that ANYONE with a wedding could use it:

And then I made this one (it's complete) but I kept it "general" so that just about anyone can use it. The inside colors are browns, pinks, blues, greens...just some left over products I wanted to use up and they matched great:)

Both albums came with pre-cut papers, but I added a scrappy/homemade touch to each page. I can show you the inside if you want???

I took both books down to Carla's shop on Wednesday...and she's already sold one! EEEK! She asked that I make a baby one...or girl one and boy one....

Here are 10 of the 20 page. They look black, but they are dark brown.
It's hard to get good shots, they are really cute:)

Those are lovely! I would totally buy those!

I think you and your sister should go into business making these. They are lovely! I'll bet a lot of people would want these. Brides, mother's of brides, mother's of grooms, flower girls, etc. Maybe even baby ones.

trisha · **Posted:** Tue Jul 19, 2011 6:31 pm

Thank yall! I'm gonna see how these do down at her shop and hopefully I will need to make more;)
Robin, I thought about the baby ones too. That's a great suggestion.

Vickiew · **Posted:** Sat Jul 23, 2011 2:36 pm

That is so awsome!! Guess we know what you will be doing the next couple days

Paula · **Posted:** Sat Jul 23, 2011 8:10 pm

oh gosh trisha....the possibilities are endless! especially if you can use scraps and not full papers! you can make one for every holiday, birthdays, events, seasons, etc.....!!!

Krissy · **Posted:** Sun Jul 24, 2011 8:42 am

YAY! That's awesome! Maybe you could do a PROM themed one too - I bet that the teenagers who go in to get corsages would just eat them up!

Paula · **Posted:** Sun Jul 24, 2011 9:14 am

can you imagine a guy going in for a corsage and mini book for his date?!

Krissy · **Posted:** Sun Jul 24, 2011 11:57 am

More like the moms who go in and pick up the corsages for their sons who forget that the girls need a corsage lol

ROFL!

trisha · **Posted:** Sun Jul 24, 2011 3:12 pm
