8x8 First Noel Mini-Album

Happy Thanksgiving!

I have my first Christmas mini to share this morning. This is an 8x8 album using the Michaels exclusive DCWV First Noel collection. This paper is so unique and truly beautiful! It has a nice linen texture and the images are so nicely done. It was so refreshing this year to finally see a collection that embraces the true meaning of Christmas!

This album has 14 pages, 16 large pull-out photo mats, flip-open elements for hidden journaling and more pics and lots of raised and glossy details throughout. I really had a lot of fun de-constructing the scenes on these papers, adding a few details and then putting the little scenes back together again.

I now have a PDF tutorial on this album available in my Etsy shop!

This album is listed for auction on eBay ending on 11/29.

8x8 Graphic45 Birdsong Album





Here's my latest creation using the gorgeous Graphic45 Birdsong collection. This is an 8x8 album and it's SUPER thick and heavy! There's 22 pages in this one with 40 pull-out tags and lots of little details throughout. Nearly every page has a little hidden surprise with either a flip-up element, envelope, swing tag and more! I've hand-cut images from the collection throughout this album and added lots of die-cuts, stamping, and embossing.

I'll have a video of this album on my YouTube channel in the next day or so that will show all of the details a bit better.

This album will be listed on eBay on 11/8 and I'll post a link to the listing when it goes active.

Have a great week!
