Universal Purse Folio Album - Gift for a Friend - presentation

Image
HELLO EVERYBODY! I'm so excited to share the photos of the purse folio album I made for my friend as a birthday gift! The album has finally reached its destination, so I can show you the finished result today. I wish I could show you all the photos in the folio, but for privacy reasons, I can't. Just wanted to remind you that we could have created the album's base together some time ago. Check out my YouTube channel for the tutorial!     I used my Timeless Moments paper collection to decorate the album. Since my friend is not really into journaling, I decided to focus on showcasing the photos. As I filled the album, I made minor changes to certain pages by adding flaps and a belly band. Thanks to this, the album can now hold 28 photos.   If you're interested, feel free to hop over to my YouTube channel for a more in-depth look at the album. I hope the album will be a special keepsake for my friend and a wonderful reminder of our great times together! Have a beautiful

TUTORIAL - Part 1 - Use Up Your Scraps! - Cardmaking Ideas

Image
 HELLO EVERYBODY! Smaller projects, such as the recently made Halloween purse folio album with unusual dimensions of 13.5x13.5 cm, are relaxing and enjoyable. However, there is a drawback - many scraps are left behind. Do you find yourself holding leftover paper scraps after finishing a project? It's always tough to throw them away, right? ;) It is a shame to toss them, so they usually fill our drawers. Well, don't worry, we all do it!       You can actually use leftover paper scraps in various ways, such as making tags, small cards, or paper flowers. Another great idea is to use them to whip up some simple greeting cards. I recently created two adorable cards using leftover paper scraps.        If you're curious about how to make them, feel free to check out my YouTube channel , where I've posted a quick tutorial. Could anything go wrong? Come and see for yourself!   Have you ever had a "scrapbooking mishap"? You know, like accidentally glueing some

TUTORIAL - Halloween Purse Folio Album - Decorating Process

Image
  HELLO EVERYBODY! I shared a tutorial on making a purse folio album a month ago. Today, I'm excited to invite you to a video tutorial where we will explore the creative process of decorating the album. This folio album measures 13.5x13.5cm and is designed for photos in 10x10cm format. The previous version of the album, which I shared on my YouTube channel a month ago, could hold up to 15 photos. However, during the decorating process, I found that there was enough space to add extra pockets and flaps. This means we have gained additional space for 6 to 10 more photos. After making these small adjustments, the album can now hold up to 25 photos, depending on how you arrange them.      These small albums are perfect for capturing memorable moments from a single event and making fantastic gifts. I chose my Halloween paper collection, Gnomish Night, to decorate the album. It is a colourful and cheerful collection of papers that works great in children's albums. Hallow
