A Boy Named Tom

17 August 2012 | By Beth in Mini Albums & Journals

Hey, y’all!  I’ve got an album to share today that features the great Curiosity line from Authentique – and some adorable pics of a little man named Tom!

The cover is embellished with several bits of Authentique paper, some ribbon, some Punchinella from Gauche Alchemy, some alpha stickers, and cotton cord on the rings.

And the cuteness begins!

Seriously.  How cute?!?!  This page has some more bits of the Authentique paper and some baker’s twine for embellishment.

For this page, I painted some Basically Bare Arrows with a Zig Painty marker, and wrapped them in embroidery floss.

I ran the policy envelope through the printer and made a little spot to keep a drawing for posterity.

I mean, seriously. Look at that face.

 This next page has some Prima flowers and more Authentique bits.

For the acrylic page, I stamped some robots.  Because it’s boy album.  And it must have robots.

And rounding out the bonanza of adorability is this last page, with more pieces cut from the Authentique papers and a sticker from the Curiosity collection pack.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Extra huge thanks Mrs. Kate for letting me use her little guy’s pictures, and to Authentique for the great papers!

x Beth

    I have to get a couple of Basically Bare mini albums — the perfect platform for the Curiosity collection!

    I love the little mini album with the Authentique Curiosity collection. The Basically Bare minis would be a great way to showcase the papers. Thanks for some great ideas!
