 HELLO EVERYBODY! It’s wonderful to reconnect with you after being away for almost a month! I spent my time off gardening, travelling, and catching up on the little things, but now I’m thrilled to present my newest creation—a custom-made heart-shaped mini photo album.     I made this album as a special gift for a woman celebrating her 50th birthday. The requirements were very precise: it had to look feminine, elegant, and richly adorned. Beads, ribbons, and charms were essential details, together with elements that marked the birthday occasion. To decorate it, I chose papers and extras from the Flower Fiesta collection by Craft O’Clock, adding embellishments from various wedding collections and my stash. The bow on the cover, which the client especially adored, comes from my Roses Academy paper collection. Inside, you’ll find unique pages and pockets designed for photos of all sizes, plus fun interactive features that make it a wonderful keepsake for storing precious memo...

HELLO EVERYBODY! Recently, I introduced the Roses Academy digital paper collection and two digital page templates, showing how easy it is to make an album using ring binders. But ring binders are just one option. As promised, I will demonstrate three alternative binding methods, each just as quick and simple as the ring binder approach.   For this tutorial, we’ll use two digital page templates: one for the album base and one for decoration. Our main focus will be on creating album bases, so we’ll primarily use Page Template No. 1. This template is also included in the Roses Academy paper collection, and both sets are available in my Etsy shop.   I hope you will find this tutorial helpful!   Happy crafting! CHEERS! ***

 HELLO EVERYBODY! In my recent YouTube video, I guided you step by step through creating a heart-shaped mini photo album using the Roses Academy digital paper collection. The tutorial covered how to make and decorate the album pages, as well as a simple binding method using ring binders. I also demonstrated how to organise your album pages, drawing inspiration from my earlier project (for a closer look at that album, check out the link to the full presentation).   Today, I’m excited to showcase a fully decorated album, made using the kraft paper base from our last tutorial. The album features flaps, pockets, belly bands, and other original solutions. You can find that the Roses Academy digital paper collection offers a much wider range of creative possibilities for your own album designs.     The album is designed with five pages, excluding covers, each dedicated to showcasing 10cm x 15cm photos. Additionally, every page is adorned with extra paper embel...

  HELLO EVERYBODY! I invite you to join me for a tutorial where I'll guide you step by step in creating a heart-shaped mini photo album using my new Roses Academy digital paper collection.   This collection includes a heart-shaped album page template, coordinated paper patterns for decoration, and additional creative extras. For a more comprehensive understanding of digital papers and the collection itself, be sure to check out my previous video, where I also provide more details about the album. Here is the link for the video.  In the tutorial, I will also demonstrate a simple, convenient method for binding the album pages with ring binders. However, ring binders are just one of many options available. In future videos, I'll introduce different binding techniques so that you can choose the method that works best for you.     Enjoy the tutorial, get creative, and I look forward to seeing you soon! CHEERS! ***    Roses Academy digital paper collection i...

HELLO EVERYBODY! With Valentine’s Day just behind us, I found myself reflecting on the different ways we express love and mark special occasions. Is it really possible that affection shouldn’t be scheduled by a calendar? Every day offers a chance to show care, respect, and friendship to those who matter most.     During a recent shopping trip, I came across a heart-shaped box of chocolates that sparked the idea for a truly unique album. Inspired by this charming find, I designed a heart-shaped album that’s perfect for any occasion. Whether it’s Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Grandparents’ Day, a birthday, or simply an ordinary day, this album is a thoughtful way to express how much someone means to us, including ourselves.     The foundation of this project lies in my new digital paper collection, Roses Academy. Inside, you’ll find a heart-shaped album page template, beautifully coordinated decorative papers, and a host of creative extras—everything you need to craft...
