The Walk Through for my "Endless" Never Ending Album is live!

Here is my 3rd August Design Team project for Country Craft Creations.  I am just in the nick of time...I've been sick for the last week, but I will have the tutorial up by tomorrow evening!!  I am using the "Endless" collection by Authentique, and I have LOVED using this paper line.

This is a take on an album style I have done in the past, but I reconfigured it to hold much much more and to allow for awesome embellishing.  I hope you enjoy this project.  As always, if you have questions please let me know.  See you later for the tutorial.

Here is the video on the walk through.

There's also a sneak peek of the paper line I received for September's Projects!

Updates and Such!

Hi, Crafty People!

I hope all is well with you.  I thought I would give some updates and share some other projects that I have been working on.  This is a long post, but I think you are going to like it.

I have been busy with the design team projects I do for Country Craft Creations, but I have also been making some cool projects as well.

Remember the Christmas in July projects I did with the design team?  Well, I decided that my goal is to make every project that these talented ladies made.  I started with the awesome project by Christina Aubin.  She created these adorable mini Christmas album ornaments and they are just the cutest thing.  I made two of them.

 I used scraps that I had and it really used up a lot of the pieces I couldn't bear to throw away.

 There are pockets all over the pages, and the pages themselves are also pockets that have pull outs in them.

 SOOOO CUTE!  They measure about 3x3".

I had some of these bells and Christmas lights and I put them on the ribbon hangers.  I love them!  Check out her tutorial on YouTube.  You can find it here.

I also made some 3D card folios by Tamra Merill-Kilgore of Country Craft Creations.  She made these great cards that can double as albums and gift card holders.  Super fun to make...so much so that I made a bunch of them and busted my Christmas paper leftover stash!  The tutorial is available on the Authentique Paper Facebook Page.  Here is the link.

Last, but not least...by the end of this  weekend I will have my tutorial for my "Endless" Never Ending mini album up and live on YouTube.  I am finishing up things, and will have a walk through also posted.  It turned out awesome.  I am using the "Endless" collection by Authentique and it is amazing.  This is the 3rd August design team project for Country Craft Creations.  

I think you are going to like it!

Thanks for stopping by.  I do appreciate all of your support.  Y'all are amazing!

Stay Crafty, My Friends!

"Endless" Portfolio Album Tutorial

Good morning!!!

I have just finished uploading the tutorial for my "Endless" Portfolio Album!  

This is my first August design team project for Country Craft Creations and it is soooooo cute!  I love how it turned out and I think you will too!  The paper collection and the Artisan Card Stock as well as the seam binding, gem dots and magnets are available at Country Craft Creations.  Stop by their store and pick it up!  

The customer service is AMAZING!  

Supplies used were:

Artisan Cardstock, 12x12", 11 of the brown, 4 of the ivory

Authentique papers ("Endless" and the Spectrum papers to go with it, total of 13 sheets.

Magnets, Large, x2

Graphic 45 gem dots/flowers (assorted from my stash)

Key Hole (from my stash)

The pdf file for a visual cutting guide for the card stock can be found here.  

 I did this so that you can maximize the use of the cardstock and not have a lot of waste.  I did not do this for the patterned paper as you may want to use different papers.  I did give you the total of how many sheets it took me to make the book.  (See above).

Here is the cut list for the cardstock... (for the base of the book, not the photo mats as you may choose to do things different).  All of the photo mats and patterned papers are cut 1/8" shorter/narrower than the cardstock they cover.  All measurements listed below are in inches.
