"On Your Special Day" Toilet Paper Roll Album for Kaboodle Doodles Challenge #118: "Honoring Mom"

Kaboodle Doodles' Challenge #118 is "Honoring Mom".  Winner to be randomly drawn with sponsor prize of 3 images from The Stamping Boutique Tues, May 15, 2012 at US timezone.  Link your entries at Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog until Sun., May 13, 2012.

I have previously created an undecorated toilet paper roll album previously  . . . about a year ago as part of a Make n Take project at a Crop with a site I was with.  Having not much time and finding the result not as pretty as I have imagined, I have shelved this unfinished toilet paper album.  I remembered this past project and thought of finishing it for this challenge at Kaboodle Doodles.

Now, how did I overcome my previous perception that it wasn't as pretty as initially negotiated upon.  Well, I thought along the lines of making it a vintage project due to the dark but rich colors of pattern papers I used on this album.  As I went along, I found the project worth going on and finished it to my satisfaction.  It's now a pretty with a touch of vintage feel on the finish.  I just hope you'd agree with me! LOL

So, with 3 images from Stamping Boutique used on this toilet paper roll album and scraps of ribbon and left-over supplies from my stash, I now present my completed project.  A Never-to-be-Neglected album, I should say . . . :
