Eleventh-Hour Xmas Gifts Series 2025 - Christmas Time - presentation 5

Image
 HELLO EVERYBODY! I'm excited to present the first project from the Eleventh-Hour Xmas Gifts series 2025 - a mini photo album, Christmas Time. The album measures 21.5cm x 14cm and has six pages. It's dedicated to the photos 9cm x 13cm and smaller, as well as bigger ones, such as 10cm x 15cm. To decorate the album, I used paper and extras from the "Happy Christmas" collection by ScrapBoys.     Before I started creating this album, I set myself a challenge: I decided not to use any magnets.  Are you curious about how it turned out and what solutions I used instead?         Tomorrow, I will share a tutorial on creating the album on my YouTube channel, and I hope you'll join me to make it together.     If you are interested in more details, I'd love for you to check out a short presentation of the album!     Enjoy and see you soon!  CHEERS! ***  If you are interested in buying the album, please visit my Etsy online...

 HELLO EVERYBODY! I'm excited to announce that the Eleventh-Hour Xmas Gifts series is back! I launched this holiday series last year, and thanks to your positive feedback, I've decided to bring it back again this year. This series is for all of you wonderful folks who are feeling frazzled and need unique gift ideas during the busy pre-holiday rush. And many creative souls among you want to give their loved ones a remarkable present. If you're looking to give something truly special, consider a handmade gift. O ne excellent option is a photo album. I think it is a fantastic choice! The album can be empty, waiting to be filled with memories, or already filled with cherished photos. I know what you might be thinking: "Who collects photos in an album in today's digital world?" To all the sceptics, I assure you that some things never go out of style and remain timeless. If this resonates with you and you want to create something memorable for someone you care about...

Baby Girl Folio Album - presentation

Image
HELLO EVERYBODY! Today, I'd like to present a folio album that I created for a baby girl. I'm wondering, does it look familiar to you? Well, if you follow my posts regularly, you will recognise it easily because this design is the same one we used for the second part of the "Mysterious Nesting Folio Album" project.      To decorate this album, I used the "Vintage Baby Girl" paper collection by Laserowe Love. Since I only had one big collection of these papers, 12x12, I used a few other sheets from my stash. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had enough paper to finish this album.   The most crucial section of the album is the middle part. Originally, this area was used to hold a smaller folio album, which we referred to as the first part of the puzzle. This time, however, this large pocket contains twelve photo mats that highlight each month of a child's first year. Each photo mat is dedicated to one month and can hold photos on both sides.      And what do ...

 HELLO EVERYBODY! I'm happy to inform you that the final part of the fun activity, "Mysterious Nesting Folio Album," is now available on my YouTube channel! This activity involves creating a project with three parts. These parts are separate projects that form a single whole.   Recently, we solved the second piece of the mystery. Today, I will present the third and last one, which will complete the entire project.     The third and final piece of the puzzle is a beautiful and elegant box. This box perfectly complements the entire project, providing an ideal solution for storing the completed album.     And what do you think? The puzzle of the "Mysterious Nesting Folio Album" has been solved! I had a lot of fun creating this project, and I hope you enjoy it as well!      I invite you to watch a video that will be released next week. As I promised earlier, I will demonstrate how each piece of this puzzle can stand alone as a separate proj...

TUTORIAL - Part 2 - Mysterious Nesting Folio Album

 HELLO EVERYBODY! I promised to make this video for you last week, but unfortunately, my camera malfunctioned. It overheated quickly, resulting in poor recording quality. As a result, I had to record the video in stages, which took longer than I expected. I sincerely apologise for the delay. I ended up ordering a new camera, and the good news is that it's excellent. I hope it lasts for years, just like my previous one, which served its purpose.   Finally, I'm excited to announce that the second part of the fun activity I've called "Mysterious Nesting Folio Album" is now available on my YouTube channel!     To recap, this activity involves creating a project with three parts. These parts are separate projects that will form one whole. We recently solved the first part of the mystery, and in this video, I will present the second part and guide you step by step in creating its blank base.      The second piece of the puzzle is just as quick and easy to m...
