Album for Mom

This is an album that I did for my mom a few years back.  I used torn paper to decoupage the front and back cover.  I used really heavy chipboard for the covers.  For the inside pages I used cut up file folders and covered them with paper to give them added weight.  I didn't use any particular paper collection for the album it was just a hodge podge of materials from my stash.  I had some of my mom's childhood photos and even though I didn't have exact dates, I arranged them in what seemed to be the proper order starting from when she was a baby to an adult.  However, below they might not be in the exact same order that they are in the album.
