🌿🍉 I love how you left the outside all green like a watermelon rind—it feels calm and simple—and then when you open it, BOOM, you get that vibrant burst of color inside, just like cutting into a real watermelon. Such a clever design choice, and it makes the whole album feel like an experience. Absolutely stunning work!

🏆August CHALLENGE COMPLETE
I had the best time playing with the Seasons Greetings paper kit from Carta Bella, and oh my goodness — the vintage vibes in this collection are EVERYTHING.
This folio layout is one of my favorites because it’s like a Mary Poppins bag of memory-keeping… it fits so many photos but still has flaps, tuck spots, and little surprises hiding everywhere. Perfect for storing all the Christmas chaos.
📸 Some of my favorite details:
That bold December 25th cover piece (front and center, because duh).
Little “special delivery” touches that make it feel like Santa dropped this off himself.
The rope tie I originally planned to use turned out to be too chunky for the closure — but honestly, it looks just like Santa’s toy sack rope, so it still makes me ridiculously happy. 🎅🏼🎁
This project makes me want to fill it with hot cocoa photos, gift-wrap disasters, and all the cheesy Christmas pajama shots.

Challenge ends on the 31st. Am I calmly finishing up? Absolutely not. I’m knee-deep in paper scraps pretending the decorating stage doesn’t take a literal eternity.
At least the cover’s done, so I can look like I have my life together while the inside is still chaos. Totally fine. Everything’s fine. 🙃

✨ Spice Girls Tribute – Window Trifold Folio ✨
For this album, I made a Window Trifold Folio (aka: a scrapbook that opens more times than I’ve replayed “Wannabe”). I used the Echo Park Have a Nice Day Collection Kit, because the vintage florals, checkerboard prints, and smiley faces had the perfect girl power vibe.
To make it extra special, I added custom Spice Girls die cuts from Etsy — because if you’re going to scrapbook a Spice Girls concert, you don’t half-step it. Between the shaker window, pull-out tags, and all the bright patterns, it turned into a fun little time capsule of ‘90s nostalgia with a side of sarcasm.
