I can't really share the custom order with you but here is a wee peek. I LOVED making it and creating exactly what my customer wanted.
I can share the masculine album with you though.
I used G45 black policy envelopes to make the album.
The pages were kept pretty simple by covering with Tim Holtz papers and inking the edges with a metallic bronze ink.
The papers were true to TH style with a masculine and vintage look - clocks, tickets, measuring tapes, and antique maps. Some pages were embellished with zipper trim while others had tags or coin envelopes added.
The cover is where I really brought out the industrial/steampunk look. It was so much fun to make as it was so out of my element.
I added metal gears, brads, clock faces, and an old fashioned lightbulb and pen nib all from Tim Holtz (you gotta love that guy)
Swirly metal studs from Prima were added and my favourite part - a metal faucet handle. (again from TH)
It is used to open your book.

When looking for photos of my dear late husband I realized how important scrapbooking is and preserving photos and stories for the next generation and ones after that.
Even though my Etsy shop is important to me I am going to spend more time going back to my original reason for scrapping - to preserve lifes precious memories.
I'll still make mini albums and altered items and likely will spend too much time creating on my layouts but each one will be a precious and cherished memory.
Isn't that what life is all about?!
