8x8 Family Album Sneak Peek

Hey Spring Chicks!

Here is another sneak peek for our Spring Workshop Weekend projects.

It is an 8x8 Family Album, on an acrylic stand. This Bella Boulevard Paper Honey I'm Home is one of our favorites and we were so sad to find it was out of print a few months ago.

But . . .
They decided to reprint some of the pieces, so here we are.

We didn't show you all of the pages-we will be doing a total of 8 different layouts.
Thanks for peeking!

Another Sneak Preview-Folded Paper Flowers Album

Well, this amazing project started out as a mini class project-it was just supposed to be a few folded flowers, maybe 45 mins to an hour. A great warm up.
So as we started each figuring out what flowers we wanted to do, and making them, and the project GREW and GREW.

Soon we had a whole garden of flowers, all fun, all different.


Then we picked our paper, the Fresh Prints Clothesline by Little Yellow Bicycle. We thought that the paper was pretty but nothing too great-until we folded it into flowers. Voila! Gorgeous.

The album for this is really simple, an accordion fold, acrylic cover with patterned paper and cardstock tags. A few of the flowers are on top of the acrylic cover, the rest are enclosed behind.

We think you will love making this beautiful album. Lots of super techniques to learn.

Oh Happy Days Portfolio Album Project Sneak Preview

Hello Chicks in Scrappy Land



Here is another sneak preview for our May Workshop Weekend. It is a Portfolio album featuring the Bella Boulevard All Inclusive paper and embellishments.

This is such a great project for a trip-we have included 5 different pockets inside of the portfolio for things like tickets, postcards, journaling, plus 2 fold out photo albums for LOTS of pictures.

This paper is beautiful and citrusy and just makes me want to go someplace warm and tropical.
At least I can dream about it as I gaze at this fun project- Enjoy!
