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!

Hope you all have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
this is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love it because it is simple yet you have a flare for adding some really lovely embellishments!
I have tried to make some albums using patterns from some amazing scrappers but it seems too over the top for me, but yours are so gorgeous just my style!
I love making albums just haven't actually found my niche in all the patterns and ideas out there! I think you may have tweeked something in me with your style!
thank you!
Thanks Deni! I let the papers guide me on how much or little to embellish, but I always steer towards simple elegance. It's funny, they may look "simple", but it actually takes a bit of work to get that look. lol! Glad I could inspire:)
ReplyDeleteOh yes I have been working on a steampunk album for some time takes me awhile like months! lol I must get that finished!
DeleteAnd I love the simple elegance
