Framed Album Beyond The Page For Card Storage

by Christine

I don’t know about you, but I can’t bear to throw out cards people have given us, especially ones given to my children. We received so many lovely cards after our daughter was born 3 weeks ago and I decided that I wanted to create a special keepsake to hold them all.  I was having trouble thinking of a storage technique that wouldn’t involve punching holes in the cards or damaging them in any way when I realised that they would fit perfectly inside the Framed Album beyond the page and the Kaisercraft A5 storage wallets! 

“Cards” Framed Album BTP by Christine Rumley – SB2061 Framed Album, Tea at Elsie’s paper collection, Devonshire embellishment pack, A5 storage wallets, White alpha stickers, Album rings

I ended up including a few storage wallets and separating the cards into the ones we received at my baby shower and the ones we received after her birth. There’s plenty of space to add more wallets later for her first birthday too! I decorated the album using papers from the Tea at Elsie’s collection and I made labels for each wallet with the same papers and also the Devonshire embellishment pack.

I might have to make some more for the other kids too!

Wow what a great idea – I too save the cards but I have them ties with ribbon in a box. This is so much better!
