I recently got to make a couple of cute Name Albums. I haven't been making many of these lately. In fact, I don't currently have them listed in my shop. While they are fun to make, they are incredibly time-consuming. And this time of year, time isn't a commodity I have a lot of. But I have a handful of customers that I've made these for in the past who order every year. This family goes to Disney every year and likes to take custom autograph books with them.
Each year I have fun working with their new themes and characters.
Ashlyn is very into a character that I had honestly never heard of called Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
Because he's fairly obscure, I had to make a lot of the papers and embellishments myself for this book. I was really happy with how it turned out and I know Ashlyn will be super excited to have her own Oswald album!
Addie is more girly and likes pinks and purples. We went with a girly/princess theme for her book.
Now if I could just convince the family to take me along next year :)
It's neat you have return customers who want special albums each year!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful! I can see how much work went into making them! I don't know all the Disney characters either, but how fun for the girls to own a theme album :)
ReplyDeleteLoved your comment about the grapes :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd the theme of your books is really cool, I can imagine they are time consuming, but fun to make!
How cool that you have the same repeat customers every year! What a great tradition for those little girls. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's so wonderful that you do this for the family! They turned out beautifully.
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome that you make them books every year, and awesome that that family is making memories every year in this way. Your finished books are gorgeous and so on point!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that these are incredibly time-consuming! That's my biggest struggle, trying to find things to make and sell where the time it takes to produce and the amount I can charge equal something other than me losing money lol. I think it's so nice that the family orders one from you every year. Repeat customers are the best. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, those look time consuming! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI think we could all use some more time. ;)
Those are super cute! I know who Oswald is! :) We're going to Disneyland this year too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work on these. I'm sure the recipients love them!
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous! I've always loved your albums. And, this is a great idea, the kids definitely won't misplace these autograph books, or mix them up with anyone else's. Fantastic for memories, and awesome that you're able to squeeze these in with your other work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful keepsake! Your name albums rally are very special!
