TUTORIAL 4 - Mini Photo Album

Image
 HO HO HO! The fourth video in the ELEVENTH-HOUR XMAS GIFTS series is available now! This will be the final video of the series for this year. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did and that at least one of the projects presented has inspired you.     Today, I have prepared a funny and simple mini photo album project. The album features six pages and measures 12.5cm x 17cm (4.9in x 6.7in). The pages measure 13.5cm x  10.5cm (5.3in x 4.1in), making them suitable for photos slightly smaller than 9cm x 13cm (3.5in x 5.1in).  I hope you will like this enjoyable project as I do!      I probably won't be able to decorate all the albums made in this series before Christmas Eve. I'll come back to you with what I managed to do and present the rest after the New Year.   Happy crafting! CHEERS! ***

TUTORIAL 3 - Mini Photo Album

Image
 HELLO EVERYBODY! It's time for the third video in the Eleventh-Hour Xmas Gifts series! Today, I'm excited to share a tutorial on how to create a mini photo album. This album features six pages and measures 16cm x 15.5cm (6.3in x 6.1in). It can hold photos in various sizes, including 9cm x 13cm (3.5in x 5.1in), 10cm x 10cm (3.9in x 3.9in), and smaller formats.     When folded, the album pages measure 14.5cm x 14.5cm (5.7in x 5.7in). I designed them with three main considerations: saving paper and time and customising them to fit your needs and preferences. The part of the page that appears to be a side flap can actually serve as a side pocket, while the bottom flap can function as a bottom pocket. How the album finally looks will depend entirely on your creativity. If you want to learn how to make it, I invite you to the tutorial on my YouTube channel.   I prepared one more tutorial for the Eleventh-Hour Xmas Gifts series, so see you soon! CHEERS! ***

I hope you'll like it!    See you tomorrow, and happy crafting! CHEERS! ***

HELLO EVERYBODY! As the holiday season approaches, many of us find ourselves in a rush with shopping, cooking, and buying presents. It can feel like there's still plenty of time until Christmas, but suddenly, we realize that only a few weeks remain. We all want to give our loved ones something special, unique, and preferably handmade. With this in mind, I created the Eleventh-Hour Xmas Gifts series on my YouTube channel to present simple and quick ideas for making blank bases for mini albums.  We start tomorrow, and I hope you'll join me in creating together! See you soon! CHEERS! ***

Christmas Folio Album - presentation

Image
 HELLO EVERYBODY! Christmas is just around the corner, so it is the perfect time to feel that magical spirit! Today, I am excited to present a Christmas folio album that I recently created. The cover of this folio is identical to the one we made for the purse folio album. This compact album measures 13.5cm x 13.5cm and is designed to hold 10cm x 10cm photos.    The papers and extras I used to decorate the folio come from my winter paper collection, Snowy Valley. This collection is available in both paper and digital form at my Etsy online store.     As I mentioned before, the cover of this folio is identical to the one we made for the purse folio album. If you want to learn how to make it, I invite you to check out my "Purse Folio Album: Blank Base" tutorial on my YouTube channel.  However, I have designed the interior of this album differently this time.     Would you like to see more details?
