Simple Vintage Ancestry Album, Tutorial #1, is available!!!

 

Hello and Merry Christmas! I have a wonderful tutorial for you today. It is actually the first in 4 videos that I will have in this series. I am presenting my December design team project for Country Craft Creations! I am using Simple Stories, "Simple Vintage Ancestry" paper collection and it is AMAZING! I am totally in love with this project and I can not wait to share it with you! It is a huge album and it will require quite a bit of supplies, but it is soooooo worth it. The idea for this album is for an album that you can document a couple family genealogy and then pass it down to your children for a heritage keepsake. Please visit Country Craft Creations for your supplies!!!

This video is the first in a series. I have pictures in the beginning and end of the finished piece. During this video we will do a walkthrough of the prototype of the album we are going to make together! I rarely do this type of tutorial, but we are going to go through everything step by step. We will also go over the supplies I received in the design team package and the supplies I purchased to add to it. I will also make the cover of the album. The cover is a wrap around cover that I think you will like. The other videos showing the page construction and how to make the family chart will come soon, within a couple of days. I am working hard on the editing.

Below is a supply list. I will also have a cutting guide. The cutting guide is useful to show you how to cut your card stock so that you can make the most out of it with little waste.
