8x8 Magnolia Way PDF Tutorial






Good Morning!

Here's the new album using last year's Rooster Provincial page design with a few changes that give it a little more interaction and room for more photos.

I used the DCWV "The Magnolia Way" paper stack in this one and I love all of the embossed magnolias and butterflies on these papers! They were perfect for cutting out and using as embellishments throughout the album with a little dimensional adhesive and flat-back pearls. There's a slight French/postal theme to this stack and combined with all of the magnolias, it's a great combination!

This is an 8"x 8" album with 14 pages and a few new features. HERE is a video showing all of the little details.

The PDF tutorial for this album is now available in my Etsy shop HERE.

I'm currently working on a remake of the Rooster Provincial album using this tutorial and should have that finished in a few weeks so you can see it with the new upgrades:)

I've got a lot of new and exciting albums planned for early next year and I can't wait to get started!

Wishing everyone Happy Holidays and a safe and Happy New Year!!

6x8 Botanica Noel Mini-Album






Just had to make one more Christmas mini this year when I saw that Michael's had a new version of the Botanical Noel paper stack from last year! They dropped the "l" and made it just "Botanica" this year. I giggled a little when I saw that. How original:) Maybe next year's will be "Botanika" Noel?

Anyways, I was very happy to see it again! This year's has more of an emphasis on greens, silver and reindeer and just seemed somehow a bit more elegant. Lots of flourishes, too. 

So, I remade the album making it 10 pages this time and switching the order of the pages just a bit for a little change. Most of the embellishments are Recollections brand from this collection with a few extras that I picked up in the seasonal scrapbooking section.  

The PDF tutorial with the page designs that I used can be found HERE in my Etsy shop.

The eBay listing can be found HERE and it's just a 5 day auction this time, ending on Sunday night 12/22, if you're interested.

I'm finishing up a new tutorial that I'll be listing in my Etsy shop this Thursday. It's the page design of the Rooster Provincial with a few new surprises, so I hope you'll check back in a few days to see the new album!

In the meantime,  HERE's a video of the Botanica Noel mini and some pics:
