I also compare both books at the end and show how I changed this book up a bit compared to the beach book.

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.

Hey everyone.  I finally got the album done for the Petals Mini Album Challenge.  I used Kraft again with a Coral Reef/Mermaid digital paper collection from Imagine The Art Design on Etsy.  I did not realize we can only upload 10 photos and I will be making a video later today so you can see all the cool things with this album.  I just wanted to get some photos here before the month ended.  Hope you guys like it. 

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.   

Made my Abstract Folio!!  Last weekend we went on a walking tour in Sāo Paulo with a photo club and I decided to make the Abstract Folio with a photography theme.  I had to make this quickly and did not do all of the cutouts that Frances did.

I made a blog post with links to everything I used, more photos, and a link to the walk-thru on my YouTube Channel -

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.

Hello all!  We have people from all over the world in this community and I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a very happy holiday - whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa - or nothing at all!  And a very happy and healthy New Year cuz we all celebrate that!  Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa and Happy Nothing At All! See y'all in 2025.


Olá a todos! Temos pessoas do mundo inteiro nesta comunidade e eu só queria aproveitar um momento para desejar a todos um feriado muito feliz - quer vocês comemorem o Natal, o Hanukkah, o Kwanzaa - ou nada! E um Ano Novo muito feliz e saudável, porque todos nós celebramos isso! Feliz Natal, Feliz Hanukkah, Feliz Kwanzaa e Feliz Nada! Vejo vocês em 2025.

Hey everyone.  I've had this Hipster collection from Ciao Bella for a year or so and just realized several of the papers had to do with a barber.  So, I made my barber a mini album for Christmas.  He has not raised his price for me in over 4 years.  Then again, I sit in his chair for 5 minutes while he buzzes what's left of my hair.  LOL

I used the Peace Folio to make the album.  I had to resize it a bit for photo sizes here in Brasil.  The Peace Folio only uses a few sheets of 6"x6" paper and it's so easy to make a few of these in a day or a weekend.  Perfect for a craft fair.   

Hello everyone.  I use a lot of digital papers in my albums and I have a feeling many of you do also.  And I think many might not understand how to use them.  I am planning to make a video explaining why I use them, how I print them in different sizes, how to get better quality, and share some of the places I get them.  
What I am curious about is if anyone has any specific questions regarding using digital papers/elements - leave them below and I will do my best to answer them in my vide.  The video will not be made for at least 2 weeks so you have time to leave any quesitons.  Thanks!

FINALLY found the time to document this Harry Potter album I made for the Ho Ho Mini Challenge.  I had so much fun making this album!  I'll make another post with the video.  

I also have a blog post with a link to the album on my YouTube, more photos of the album, and links to everything I used.  If you love these papers from Paper House - check out the blog post for a discount code too.
