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.

Hey everyone. I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I have finally posted videos to both of the Petals albums I made - the beach-themed one and the coral reef/mermaid book. I will do 2 posts with links to the blog and video if you want to check them out. Bad news is that, at the moment, I will not be able to renew my subscription but I might be back from time to time when I see an album I need to learn. And when I make other videos, I hope Frances will post them to help inspire you guys. Stay safe everyone.

Hi Everyone!!
My name is Cate. Born and raised in Utah, I've been building handmade books and scrapbooking since 1998 and haven't slowed down since (I've definitely evolved from the stapler and printer paper though).
I started building minis in 2018 after I got married and have crafted over 100+ books to collect or to give them away as gifts.
I studied biology and chemistry and have worked in research and development for 10 years and like to apply that kind of experimentation to craft supplies and paper. I've learned there's no wrong way to create and express yourself!
So excited to be part of this community and see so many talented people who are passionate about making albums!
