 HELLO EVERYBODY! I would like to present another mini photo album made to order.  The album was ordered by the same customer who had recently purchased the vintage-style mini photo album that I showed in my previous post.      This album is also a special gift from one friend to another for a 50th birthday. The album measures 17.5cm x 16.5cm, with a spine that is 6.5cm wide. It is slightly wider than the previous one and includes four cards instead of three because it is designed to store more photos.    The customer's instructions were similar to the previous one: the album must emphasise photos and be simple, but this time, it should be colourful.     I tried to follow these guidelines, although the album has a few more flaps and pockets. In addition to the standard 10cm x 15cm photos, made in both vertical and horizontal orientations, there are also several photos with non-standard dimensions. Still, I believe the album remains user-...

 HELLO EVERYBODY! I am excited to present a vintage-style mini photo album made to order. The album measures 17.5cm x 16.5cm and has a spine that is 5cm wide. It is designed to hold photos 10cm x 15cm. This album is a special gift from one friend to another for a fiftieth birthday.   The customer instructions were very clear: the design had to be vintage, emphasize photos, and, above all, be simple. The album is literally mini, featuring only three cards designed to hold ten photos. Despite the limited number of photos, it took me some time to plan it out. Some images were captured in a horizontal orientation, while others were taken vertically. I included several flaps with magnetic closures to accommodate these different orientations, allowing for a seamless photo display. Still, the album remains user-friendly, ensuring that the recipient can easily view the pictures and appreciate the character and design of the album as a whole.       I hope you like the...

 HELLO EVERYBODY! It's been a while since I last shared my creation with you. As the weather gets warmer, I have spent most of my time in my little garden, preparing for the upcoming summer. Gardening is my second passion, and even though I'm not a gardening expert, I find great joy and fulfilment in caring for my plants. I feel enormously satisfied when I see my beautiful flowers blooming. Even though my muscles and back are sore, I am happy.      Today, I want to share a recently created project: a folio album. The album measures 23cm x 16.5cm and has a spine that is 4cm wide. I decorated the album using papers and extras from the Hazy Street collection by Craft O'Clock.     The album is designed to hold photos measuring 9cm x 13cm and 10cm x 15cm, as well as larger photos measuring 13cm x 18cm. Depending on the arrangement, it can hold up to 70 photos.     The pictures do not fully capture the details of the folio album. Therefore...

 HELLO EVERYBODY! I invite you to the tutorial, where I will show you how to create an album cover. While it's essential, making a cover is the most tedious part of the project. It often involves repeating the same steps. With this in mind, I've decided to dedicate a tutorial exclusively to this stage. It means that in my future tutorials, I will skip the detailed cover-making process and provide only the measurements for the cover parts along with a link to this video.   In the tutorial, I will share my learned techniques and what works for me to make an album cover. I tried to provide details on each stage of the video, and I hope you will find the tutorial helpful. If you have any questions regarding any process step, please write them in the comments under the video. Check out my YouTube channel! You'll also learn about handy tools that simplify your design process.     This bookbinding set is an excellent help when creating an album or journal cover....

 HELLO EVERYBODY! I've been sharing a lot of exploding boxes with you recently. Today, I have another one—a birthday exploding box for a man. This one was made to order as a gift for someone who loves nature, mountains, forests, and animals. The decoration instructions were specific:   - Theme: Nature, camping, forest, and mountains - Outer Walls: Scenery featuring mountains and forests     - Inner Walls: Compositions only on all four walls - Sentiments: Birthday wishes and motivational messages     - Included: A little booklet decorated with British wildlife      I used papers and extras from 'The Great Outdoors' by Mintay Papers collection. Do you think I accomplished the task?   I hope it will be a delightful surprise for the recipient.  Cardmaking doesn't know gender limits! Have a fantastic weekend! CHEERS! *** EDIT!   Thank you for the five-star review!     Very accommodating when asking for a custom...
