Brocade Brag Book

O.K. I am sorry, but I love these clear envelope brag books! So bear with me as I share yet another.

I made this one for a wedding. I am going to collect some pics of the bride and groom that I have and put them together for them.

"Wild About You" Clear Evelope Brag Book

Happy Mother's Day to all of you stampin' moms! Hope you had a great day!

Well, I loved that Clear Envelope Brag Book I made a while back so much that I just had to make one for my mother and mother-in-law to celebrate this day with them. This is what I came up with! Erik and I wrote personal notes on the back inside cover to our moms. We then sat down with them and chose recent favorite pictures of family to put inside. They LOVED them!

Clear Envelope Book

I stamped this Clear Envelope Book for a friend of mine who suffered a great loss this week. Instead of pictures inside, it contains scriptures to help her through. Click here to access the directions. I wrote a personal note on the back cover for her. I printed the scripture verses on to Certainly Celery CS and will be stamping those before I put them in the book.

Even though I made this project for a sad occasion, I pray that it gives my friend comfort. I poured prayers and love into each step. I will definitely make one of these again. It was a very fast book to make and is great for a few pictures. A Brag Book for you or Nana or Grandma? A recipe book for a new bride? A nice way to show off some of your card creations? I am sure you will find more fabulous ways to use this very versatile book. Let me know what you think!

Brag Book Album - In Memorium

The Manhattan Flowers stamp set coupled with a saying from the Refuge and Strength stamp set are what I used to make this Brag Book Album.  I have posted brag books before, so Click Here to view them. if you want to see some different designs and directions.

If you are wondering what I put inside this one, it is full of pictures of someone dear to my family...Great Grandma Emily.  She was my husband's "adopted Canadian grandmother" and she passed away recently after living a wonderful life.  Long story short, but she and her husband ended up being just like grandparents to Erik while he was attending high school at Grenville Christian College.  Hence, she was given a special coursage and escorted down the aisle to a special seat at our wedding over eight years ago; we had the chance to visit with her and introduce her to our children on two seperate occassions in Canada; and, today we celebrate her life in memorial.  I didn't know her for too long, but she was a dear woman and I am sure she is in Heaven with the Lord today!

O.K., at any rate, Erik is off to the memorial today and asked me to pull together some pictures of our Canada trips for Emily's children.  So, that is why I made the Brag Books.  I hope they speak comfort to her family.  It was a blessing to know her!
