Puzzle embellishment

How cute!!! I'm getting ready to start on a baby album for the latest grandchild due in December. I will definitely use this idea. Thanks Lynne, Sandy

I agree-its adorable. Kathy

That's too cute Lynne! I'm definately going to have to try that out, now.

What an altogether beautiful front page! Great job :)

Very cute title page. I love the stitching too.

It's so cute!!!

That's really cute Lynne.

I recently made a baby boy paper bag album for a girl I use to work with. A couple of days later I got a call from a very pushy woman who asked me to make her a paperbag album for a baby girl and I agreed although I didn't want to do it and she promptly informed me that she needed three by the end of Sept. Then 2 other people called me and asked me to make them paperbag albums.

I saw that you sewed your pages. I had my niece sew the pages on the first album I made but she is back at school and I really don't know how to use my sewing machine. Have you done any albums without sewing the pages? I want to do a nice job but the thought of trying to sew all those papers is freaking me out.

Lynne, Love it! Helen

I think your album would be just fine without sewing. Especially for someone who's being so pushy! haha It does add a homey feel, but honestly I'm not sure anyone would notice it it wasn't sewn.

If you just had to have a sewing detail somewhere in the album one can punch tiny holes with a pin and then draw between the lines with a white gel pen.

That turned out great Lynne.

I'm with Lynne, sewing for someone who's being pushy like that isn't worth the hassle. If you're looking for a way to bind the paper bags together, what about punching holes and using ribbon tied together?

Lynne, I always love your work. That is so precious! I like the ribbon and the diamond metal clip. So cute! Is the bunny a paper piece?

Take care, Amy L.

That is really sweet! I just have to do that sometime!

I don't even HAVE a sewing machine... I just stick my gift albums together with glue and nobody's complained yet! Don't tell anyone (shhhh...) I use a lot of el-cheapo glue sticks from the Dollar Tree for the big things...

The bunny is a fabric sticker. I had several vellum baby cut outs and they all looked nice, but when I held the fabric stickers up to the album I knew I found a winner.

Yep I was trying to just put together enough pieces so I could do title embellishments. Wish I had started and easier puzzle, but it was a puzzle nobody wanted to keep and the pieces were just the right size for what I wanted to do.
