HELLO EVERYBODY! I'm excited to showcase the final fully decorated album from the blank base we created during last year's Eleventh-Hour Xmas Gifts series. It was an effortless project of the ring binder mini photo album (check out this link for the blank base tutorial).      Christmas was nearly a month ago, and I decided it was time to cut the ties with the holiday season and go further into the New Year. That's why I chose the children's collection paper, Sleep & Dream, from Craft O'Clock to decorate the album. Besides, the simple projects we created during the Eleventh-Hour Xmas Gifts series don't need to be adorned with holiday-themed papers. They are absolutely universal and suitable for any occasion.   The album contains five pages separated by vellum translucent tracing paper and designed for photos 10cm x 15cm (3.9in x 5.9in). Photo mats are positioned horizontally on one side of the page and vertically on the other. Four photo mats a...

HELLO EVERYBODY! Today, I want to share another Christmas mini photo album - the third of four albums for which we have prepared a base as part of the Eleventh-Hour Xmas Gifts series (the blank base tutorial is available here ).   I decorated the album with papers from the "Merry & Joy" collection by Mintay Papers. The cover decoration was made with extras from the same collection, creating a beautiful 3D composition. I mixed them with stars-shaped elements made of chipboard from my stash. The album is closed with a wide ribbon in a lovely, juicy red colour.   I created the album's pages using die cuts from AliExpress, which I bought many years ago. I like their shape and the decorative outline they leave on the edges, so the album dimensions have been adjusted to their sizes. The pages measure 13.5cm x 10.5cm, making them suitable for photos 9cm x 13cm and smaller. The cover measures 17cm x 12.5cm, and the spine is 7cm.     The album features numerous pockets an...

 HELLO EVERYBODY! Are you ready for the second presentation of the fully decorated album for which we have prepared a base as part of the Eleventh-Hour Xmas Gifts series? Fantastic!    This album features six pages and measures 16cm x 15.5cm. When folded, the album pages measure 14.5cm x 14.5cm. 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. Do you want to learn more? Feel free and check out the tutorial available on my YouTube channel at the following link .      I decorated the album with my winter scrapbooking paper collection, Snowy Valley. I created a decoration for the cover using extras to cut, which I mounted with foam tape of varying thicknesses. This helped me achieve a lovely 3D effect.     As you may rec...

HELLO EVERYBODY! This is my first post of the year, and I want to wish you all the best! May this year bring joy, peace, creative fulfilment, and self-satisfaction. Thank you for your incredible support last year; thank you to all new subscribers and viewers. Because of all of you, I am inspired to work harder and create more exciting new projects this year.   If you follow my YouTube channel, you know that I started the Eleventh-Hour Xmas Gifts series a few weeks ago. We created four simple album bases, and today, I want to present the first of the four fully decorated albums.     Let's begin with the waterfall mini photo album.       In fact, this particular album resembled a finished project, with only the cover decoration and a closure left to complete. I did not make any changes to the inside, keeping it clear and simple. I focused on the cover, where I added ribbon in two shades of green and some easy decoration on both the front and back ...
