Oggi vi mostro due album che mi sono stati commissionati dalle mamme di alcuni bambini come regalo di fine anno per le maestre.
I colori non li ho scelti io, ma sono gli stessi dei regali dell'anno scorso. Alle maestre piacciono, perciò le mamme volevano gli stessi colori. Sempre loro hanno scelto le margherite, fiori più semplici e meno romantici delle rose (che, come sapete, io amo tanto fare), e perciò adatte per delle maestre.
Mi hanno chiesto degli album piuttosto grandi perché i bambini volevano incollare sulle pagine una loro foto e dei disegni, perciò le pagine sono di un formato maggiore dell'A4, in modo da poter lasciare un po' di margine e mettere anche una piccola decorazione. Per l'interno ho mantenuto gli stessi colori dell'interno.
La carta della copertina è l'Avoha, che secondo me è una delle più belle per questi lavori.
Per contenere il regalo ho proposto non una scatola (sarebbe stata troppo ingombrante), ma una borsa di tela che richiamasse lo stesso design della copertina. Le maestre potranno usare la borsa per conservare l'album o, se lo preferiscono, potranno usarla tutti i giorni per fare la spesa o portare i libri a scuola. Così questo ricordo dei loro bambini sarà sempre con loro.
Vi mostrerò le borse nel prossimo post, perciò non dimenticate di tornare!
Good morning, scrappers!
Today I'm showing you two album I was requested from some children's mothers as a school end gift for their teachers.
I didn't choose the colours, they are the same of last year's gifts. The teachers like them, so the mums wanted the same colours. They also choose daisies as these flowers are more simple and less romantic than roses (that I love so much, as you know), so they are suitable for teachers.
I was asked to make quite big album because children wanted to glue on the pages their photo and some drawings, so the pages and bigger than A4; there is enough space to leave some edge and to add some small decorations. The colours inside are the same of the cover. The paper I used for the cover is Avoha, which I consider one of the most beautiful for this kind of crafts.
To put the albums in I proposed to make two bags. Boxes would have been too big. I made two cloth bags with the same design of the covers. The teachers can use them to keep the albums or, if they prefer, they can use them every day to have shopping or to bring books to school. So their children's memories will always be with them.
I will show you the bags in my next post, so don't forget to come back!

Che bella questa carta!!! Hai proprio ragione, è meravigliosa per le copertine degli album! I fiori sono splendidi, mi piace molto come hai sfumato sui bordi quelli piccoli all'interno delle pagine e anche tutti gli strati delle margherite rendono tantissimo! Brava come sempre!!!
RispondiElimina...Aspetto di vedere le borsine coordinate! :D
Faboulas flowers you have made for your project and good photos.
RispondiEliminaThank you for sharing with Fussy and Fancy.
