Birthday Card - Dad

Here is the birthday card/album that I made for my dad. It is based on the Build-A-Page Wallet tutorial by Paper Phenomenon.  The Wallet tutorial was available on YouTube for free, but I purchased the Build-A-Page tutorial that forms the bases of this card/album.  However, the tutorial doesn't seem to allow enough space for lumpy bumpy embellishments, so I had to redesign it slightly to ensure that it didn't come apart due to how I had decorated it.  The majority of paper used was Graphic 45 "A Proper Gentleman" series.  The photos of this card/album were taken before I put any photos inside, but I filled it up with old photos for a trip down memory lane. My dad absolutely loved the card/album. I had fun making it and plan to do a few more.  The album really lends itself to the Graphic 45 paper series.

Most of the flaps had a top loading pocket and a half flap. The tags with stamped/rub-on images had some photos and the tags (not shown) that go in the top loading pockets had the main photos on them with the back left blank so my dad and write what he remembers when he trips down memory lane.
