Up & Down Waterfall Insert

This is my second post today.

This is an insert with it's own pocket that I made from a file folder.  I'm going to put it into a mini album.

Here's the Youtube tutorial  from one of my favourite crafters *Papercrafter45* 

The papers are from The Paper Studio *Poetic Postage* collection.

The top & bottom have pockets with inserts.

That's all for today, thanks for looking!

*Mini Album in a Box*

In case you hadn't noticed, I'm in mini album mode right now. ;)

 I was looking around online at mini albums and came across this mini album in a box.....as soon as I saw it I wanted to give it a try, so I went ahead and purchased the tutorial and got to work.  My first one didn't turn out so good, I made the top 1/8" too small and it wouldn't fit properly.  The instructions mention that the measurements are very precise and need to be right on in order to work properly, so I tried again and this time.... voila!  It worked out fine & here it is.  Hope you like it.

The box measures 7" x 5"  

 The papers are Recollections *Cherry Blossoms* from Michaels.  They are beautiful and didn't want to cover it, so I just added the words, cut out on my Cricut with the *Sophisticated* cartridge.

The lid lifts off & the sides collapse to reveal the pages.  Each of the 8 pages is a pocket which holds an insert.

Glad you took the time to visit today,  If you are interested in making one of these albums here is the link to the etsy store where you can purchase the tutorial.  It comes with a very detailed pdf and an equally detailed video tutorial.

 I'm going to be starting another of these albums, so stay tuned & I'll be back soon to show you.

*Elegant Edges* Mini Album

Hello there,

I'm back today to show you an album that I just finished.  The shape is cut from the Cricut *Elegant Edges* cartridge.  This cartridge has a *book* feature and has many shapes to choose from, it also has frames, borders & more to go with them.

Here's the paper stack I used

The inside cover page has a pocket and a photo matt.  The pocket is only glued down at the bottom so that you can slide in a bigger photo if you wish.

Back of the album

This *hidden hinge* binding system created by Kathy Orta is my favourite one to use for albums.  Here is a link to Kathy's video instructions.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great day!

Happy Anniversary!

I've been busy in my craft room again and I'm back to show you a card that I made for my daughter & son-in-law's wedding anniversary.

That's all for now,  thanks for looking & have a lovely day!
