Update: I added some flowers and this jeweled garland stuff and feather thing I found at HL. It definitely finished the album. It's ready for to be gifted.
Finished this wedding book for a cute young couple I work with. I don't remember the name of the pattern. Francės Long will have to help me out. This holds a lot of pictures!
I think the paper is Echo Park.
It needs some flowers but I haven't had a chance to go to the store. Crazy hot outside!
I'm still working my way through all of the classes. This is the Flutter Folio. It came together faster than I thought it would. This may become a go-to. It packs a lot of pictures.
I added a shaker front. The star confetti is a little hard to see. I also did this to the front pocket.
The paper is from a friend. I think she said she got it on Temu(?). Cutting out all of the cute images took longer than putting the album together! ✂️
I chose this pumpkiny-burnt orange paper. If I had to do over again, perhaps a different color. Something lighter to make the prints pop more.
I'd 100% recommend making this one! So much fun.
Challenge complete.
I used Carta Bella's Pirates Collection along with some other papers I picked up online somewhere. Added some gold buttons here and there to represent gold coins as well as some gold circle punches. I believe the anchor buttons are from a cookie tin my Meemaw gave me. (If you know, you know! 😂)
I didn't make this for anyone in mind, which is unusual as I always have a person and purpose (wedding gift, babyshower, etc.). Because of that, it took entirely too long to finish. I stared at it for days willing it to give me inspiration. WWFD?
I guess it will go on a shelf until someone needs it.
I made my first album for a friend who was expecting two little girls. It was more work than expected. Do you need that long for an album? Overall, I think I sat on it for 30 hours 😳
It wasn't easy for me, doing this Challenge. I think it because I choose a Stack I really didn't love. It is too "white" for me... but at the end - it came out nicely. And waiting for the summer vacation photos on July
Challenge complete!!
This was such a fun project to revisit! I explored lots of fun mini features to use up things in my stash: vellum windows on pockets, mini polaroid frames, an abundance of vellum mini flowers, a washi tape banner, stamping as decoration, and turning one of the waterfall pages into a bonus pocket!
I used a travelers notebook from Studio Calico that was chopped down for my pattern paper. I didn't know how much I would love using grid paper as decorative paper but I like that it instantly gave me lots of space for journaling.
I think I may need to make one more so I have a trio!
Petals Mini Album Coral Reef Mermaid Theme -
I also compare both books at the end and show how I changed this book up a bit compared to the beach book.

Hey all. I finished one of two albums using the new Petals Mini Album Tutorial. I used 2 different Beach Day Shabby Chic papers from a store called Imagine the Art Designs on Etsy. LOVE this store's papers.
The 4 pockets, I covered both sides with the paper but made a pull out for inside each pocket that holds 4 photos.
I made this album in 1 day. Really, very easy to make. No windows or acetate. :-)
I will have a video walk-thru today or tomorrow.
Hi! Here are some photos of my version of the petals album. I used the Butterflies collection from HL. It’s an all inclusive kit. I stitched the cover with gold thread to coordinate with the gold in the papers. I haven’t finished decorating the album yet, as I thought tomorrow is the 30th. (DUH) Anyway, I wanted to join in on the challenge so that I made sure I had some creative time.
