Why make only one Travel album when I can make 4 at a time. 🤪. Preparing 4 books for a trip we are having on December. One for my daughter, one each for two friends that are traveling with us and one for me. 🤣🤣.
Now to decide what DP I will use for each one. More to come. 🤗🤗🤣
I couldn't remember if I had shared the album I made for my own wedding or just my daughter's but I don't think I did. I used the BOA (Big Ol' Album) and my eyes were bigger than my material. I'll stick some first anniversary photos next year to fill it out. If you have a lot of pictures or maybe a baby's first year, this album is excellent for big occasions! I didn't have a single paper pack collection but combined several with my wedding colors or adjacent colors. Sometimes I love and sometimes I wonder what the heck I was thinking. LOL.
I went back to the drawing board and created a memory box that is 10 inches square by 3 inches deep. This gives me plenty of room to add additional pictures, maybe in a thicker envelope insert, as well as additional inserts, cut-aparts or other memories around whatever occasion it's used for.
I'm still struggling with paper breakage. It happens at 65, 80 and 110 lb. weight and whether I use glue or tape. I've tried soft scoring, deep scoring, soft folding, aggressive folders, it just doesn't seem to help. So this was my only major issue this time.
As per usual for me, I probably added too much between the acetate for the cover but I'm ok with it. I consider it not too bad for my second go at a box like this but definitely need to work on construction and decoration.
These inserts are just adorable. Can't wait to add some winter memories to the box.
Just finished the Flutter Folio and loved this one…well, I actually love them all! 😂
I used Stamperia Alterego background papers; just love the colours.
Tried something different on the front cover by sticking the lower part of the postage stamp on the reverse of the acetate window so it didn’t interfere with the photo…just need to work out how to make it look a bit better once the front cover is open 🤔
I completed the Memory Box challenge. This was fun but those acetate windows were a challenge. I had never worked with acetate before. Had to recut the patterned paper a couple of times! Ready for the next challenge.
Quick Tip: New Class - The Traveling Mini Album
You don’t have to wrap your cover with solid cardstock, you can start right with design papers!

Translation: Hello, I’m Viry, I’ve wanted to post here the baby album I made for Leo for a long time and one day I didn’t do it. I show you the result of my version of the Petals album, I can’t upload more photos but I hope these serve to give you an idea. I loved doing this project and I am very grateful for Francès and how well everything is explained. A hug for everyone.
For the first time, I'm going to admit defeat. I did the July challenge but the paper for the box defeated me. 🫠 I got the box made but with just adding the paper it made the inserts too thick to allow the box to close. Next time, I'll use a thinner paper line throughout. I loved all the inside pieces so I will figure out a different way to use them. I went with a travel theme and used up some paper I've had for 10+ years.
