People often put a photo in the frame on the front, but it's also fun to put a name there. I love calligraphy, so I wrote the name, but you could just as easily use stickers. It's a simple project. First, I cut a piece of cardstock to fit the frame. (There's usually a piece of paper in that spot that you can just trace around to get the right size piece of cardstock.) I wrote the name and embellished around it with a tag and some rubber stamping. I sponged some yellow gold ink around the name too, to give it a vintage look. In hindsight, though, I think I liked it better white. One of those "leave well enough alone, Pam, moments.)
The little sweater embellishment went on the fabric part of the album to finish it.
These special touches are a fairly simple way to make an album more unique.
What do you think?
