Holy smokes is right, wow, I could look at that 100 times!!! I love it all so much. I love the paper choices and i love the lettering you did - especailly the question answer part that is black and white foreward backward. You are very cute Aleida, I don't know why you said in the past you didn't like to use photos of yourself and your house is so pretty.  love the number stamp on the second page and Chris Noth is pretty darn hot, lol.

Super fab job! What book did you use? I like how the pages all look really sturdy and thick.

Gosh you girls are making me blush for darn sure! Embarassed

Thank you so much for even looking through all of it. 

Briana, that page is my favorite, because I love the graphic feel of the "question/answer."  It rocks.  Thanks for thinking I'm cute. I guess I do have my moments, but not very much. Ha.

I used a Maya Road album.  It's a three ring notebook album.  I got those a about 2 years ago. I tend to hoard sorry. So if they still make them, I recommend them. I would get more cause they are really sturdy and can take altering like paint application pretty well. 

Yeah, Chris Roth is a hottie, my hubby at times looks like him.  Had to include my other love Javier too, only in my dreams. Hee hee hee. 

The childhood memory, "Cinderella" page was a hard/complicated thing for me.  It gets me choked up, as it was the only nice thing my mother ever did for me.  Sorry, anyway that page was hard for me and I tend to rush through that.

This was a labour of love, so it took me a freaking long time, but I'm so happy.

Aleida, now that is the most amazing mini book I've ever seen. Period. You need to get this published. You have an enormous talent. Please for a moment can I speak to the little girl you once were? Honey, you will be loved and so deserved to be loved (((((hugs and a kiss on the forehead))))).

You rock , Aleida!

Thank you.

ALeida, this is gorgeous.  It beyond gorgeous, but I don't know what word to use.  :o)  On the inside cover the numbers - is that a stamp?  Love it.  I have mine 1/2 complete, so it won't be done in time, but I have to tell you we have the same answer for our most treasured possession.  :o)  Great minds, huh?  I am so impressed by yours.  WOW.

really really beautiful

i especially love the cover and spine--  nice graphic punch

what did you use for the three words that describe you best-- the repeating words and patterns?  was that rubons, stamp or computer?  

love it all!

Oh gosh I was confused! I opened this and thought, where have I already seen this, not all of this? and it was on your blog of course!

 

But you didn't show the cover - which is perfectly and simply stunning! LOVE it! What size album is this and what brand? I think I must have one, or two, or three.

Ha.  Yes Ally it's on my blog.  I didn't include the cover as I had posted on my blog a sneak of the cover the day before.  So I thought if I reposted it, readers would be like yeah, whatever seen it. Ha. 

Regarding the album...love it!  It's by Maya Road.  It is their binder album, it has 8 pages of thick chipboard, so it is study and get take some altering (like heavy painting) pretty darn well!!!!  It is 7' tall and 5' wide.  I purchased it about 2 years ago (yes I do hoard) and so I am not sure if they are still make them.  They should cause it's good stuff.  I had to make 2 more pages for it and I did not buy cutting some chipboard I had around which matched it perfected as far as thickness/density of the board. ;)

Thanks everyone.
