NEW TUTORIAL - Photo Album "Four Seasons" - presentation

Image
 HELLO EVERYBODY! I am excited to introduce a new photo album, which will be the focus of an upcoming tutorial. This is a large project, as the album covers are A4 size with an 8cm (3in) wide spine. I named it "Four Seasons" because it contains four smaller folio albums, each dedicated to a different season.     Each folio is designed to hold photos sized 9cm x 13cm (3.5in x 5.1in), 10cm x 15cm (3.9in x 5.9in) and 13cm x 18cm (5.1in x 7.1in). Depending on the size and arrangement of the photos, each folio can hold between 30 and 50 pictures.    To decorate the album, I used six different scrapbooking paper collections from Craft O'Clock:  -  spine: "Red Mood" 12x12   - Spring: "Tulip Love" 8x8   - Summer: "Summer Flowers" 8x8     - Autumn: "Autumnaria" 8x8    - Winter: "Snowy Winterland" 8x8 and "Winter Morning" 8x8     If you're interested in tackling a large project, this tutorial is ideal for you.

Mini Photo Album - Made to Order - presentation

 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-...

Vintage-Style Mini Photo Album - Made to Order - presentation

 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...
