My Veleeta Christmas Album! I had so much fun with this paper and making my first ever shaker window! I still cannot believe how Frances took all our ideas and made such a beautiful album. This is a gift for my 90 year old mom and as much as I wanted to add the belly band and Christmas bow it would have been too difficult for her to get open. Canāt wait to add photos from Christmas Day!

Hi, I am looking through flip throughs of the albums so I can see what I may be interested in making. I notice not all of the tutorials have a walkthrough of the album/folio/project. Where can I find those? Thank you.

Mini Christmas folio - had so much fun with this one. Put my own little spin on it and made it a tag holder sort of thing. Added a flip for a couple extra pockets. š² š āļø

š The Merry Mini Challenge āØ
This monthās challenge was a great reminder that crafting is really just making decisions and trusting yourself enough not to undo them š
I used the Echo Park Christmas Joy Collection Kit for all of the paper. Several of the stickers in the collection were on the larger side, so I supplemented with Christmas embellishments from my stash and carried on as if that was always part of the plan.
In Francesā tutorial, she used a Christmas tree punch to create a small peek-a-boo window on the pocket. I didnāt have that punch, but I did have a metal sleigh cutting die. The sleigh was larger than the window called for, so the question became: How do I use this without committing to a sleigh-sized hole in every pocket?
The answer was to cut sleigh windows out of all six pockets and then intentionally swap the sleighs between the cards. Same sleighs, new pockets. It solved the problem, added interest, and gave me that quiet āyes, this was the right callā feeling š·
The tutorial also called for vellum behind the window to create a frosted look. I didnāt have vellum, but I did have a plastic grocery bag ā which turns out to work beautifully when you lean into creativity over perfection ā»ļø
This project was a fun reminder that you donāt need the exact supplies to follow a tutorial ā just confidence, flexibility, and a willingness to make it work.

I love this paperās vibrancy and creative insect designs (Thanks Christine for revealing it āš¼). The papers I liked mostš¦ were busy busy, so I just owned the busy vibe best I couldšand really enjoyed working with them.
Having the right paper pack really makes the hours-long decorating/matting process so rewardingāļø Thank you for the inspirations you all share here in the community. It helps bring in some creativity ideas at dire timesš
