THIS WAS SUCH A FUN PROJECT! I had scraps in the grab bag that I was wanting to make an album with, but how? I sat and came up with this fun idea.
I used what I had and made a sort of pyramid album with the pieces of papers that I had, and incorporated the die cuts as photo opportunities and pages.
I made 4 pages and used scraps to add pockets to hold the variety of cutaparts that I had. The Heart die cuts will make great photo and journaling spots.
All of the pages have pockets that hold the gatefold sides closed.
Here is the album "opened" so you can see, it's loaded with space and it is so pretty! Please come and see all of the fun in this one.

This is another video for #paperstashsmash and I can't wait to share this with you. I have been wanting to make this Rotating Mini Album by Oxana Grigorieva since I first saw it and I finally did it. I have to say it is AMAZING!!! Then I took the leftovers and made another variation of my 2 Sheet Wonder Pamphlet Album with another type of closure. You have to check these out!The Rotating Album tutorial by Oxana is here. Her tutorial is in Metric, I converted the measurements and I will have them below.

Good morning! Here is the tutorial for my Two Sheet Wonder Album using my design team package from Country Craft Creations! This is using Be Mine by Carta Bella. This is a great scrap buster and so much fun to make. You can customize the pages any way you want, as long as you have two (12 x 12) sheets of patterned paper for the base. The rest is up to you!
I also introduce a new idea in reinforcing small gussets, and I'll demonstrate it on the "magnet style closure" that I did on the original project I shared (link below).
All measurements are in the video. Have fun! Stay Crafty, my friends!

Did you think I was finished with this cute collection?
I had a few leftovers and wanted to see what I could do with them. I hate wasting paper, so I raided my stash of Country Craft Creations supplies and came up with this little gem. I used Graphic 45 tags, cut them to fit the leftovers I had, and came up with this. I hope it inspires you to use up your leftovers too! This isn't a true tutorial, but I tell you how I did it and what the measurements are...it will give you ideas to make your own little masterpiece!
Come and see how I made this cute tag album using what I had in my leftovers and in my Country Craft Creations stash of supplies. Raid your supplies...what can you create today?
I have a new tutorial up on my YouTube Channel! I am using the leftovers from my first project using Carta Bella's "On the Farm" to make this cute mini album...
And I'm using the Uniquely Creative Folio Dies to make it!
These dies can be used without the folio to create a great project.
Come see what I did! The link is below!
The album is 6 pages and holds 4 x 6 photos.
I have a lot of information in the video description, including links to my first tutorial using this collection and links for the products I used in these fabulous album!
Thanks so much for watching and remember to always stay crafty!
This one is so cool and so much fun! This is my March Design Team Project for Country Craft Creations. I'm using Carta Bella's "On the Farm".
I started by having an idea for a tag shaped photo album...
Then I decided to see how many ways I could incorporate tag shaped features...
There are tag booklets, tag pages, tag waterfalls, tag belly bands...
Seriously, this album is LOADED WITH TAGS!
Come and see how this is put together, it is soooooo easy!
The walk through is below...
And the tutorial is here...
I hope you like it!
In both videos there is information on ordering the supplies I used in this project. In the tutorial video I have written a cut guide for the chipboard and for the cardstock.

I have a new design team project for Country Craft Creations for you today!
Hello and welcome to the video! This came about from a request from one of my subscribers, @marilynb8704 who had asked me if I could do a tutorial using 8 1/2 x 11" paper to make a configuration page album. I have done this in the past, but used 12 x 12 papers. So I revamped an older tutorial, added a few things, and taa daa! I'm using "Cowboys" by Carta Bella, and I think it turned out amazing! The original tutorial this one is based off of is here...Summer Configurations Mini Album Tutorial https://youtu.be/ggmdSDufKKA

I have been wanting to make one of these for a very long time! I bought this recipe book solely for this purpose, but truth be known, I actually have a copy of it in my recipe collection too!
I used a bunch of random bits and pieces I have had in my stash for a while, and combined them with items that are newer from Country Craft Creations and from Your Creative Studio.
Good morning...I have been awake since 2 am, and because of that you all get a tutorial I wasn't originally planning on posting today. But, what else are you supposed to do when you can't sleep?
This is my take on a loaded envelope or loaded pocket. I'm using Carta Bella's "White Christmas" paper collection from Country Craft Creations. You can find it here.
I have been wanting to do this idea for a while, so I hope you enjoy it.
Today I have a cute and quick project using my design team package from Country Craft Creations, https://countrycraftcreations.com. I'm using Carta Bella's "Hocus Pocus" and it is a fun paper collection! I was messing around with papers and stumbled upon this idea. It s full of room for pictures...great for a quick gift/brag book...and it only uses 2 sheets of cardstock to construct!
In the tutorial I have a visual aid on how to cut the cardstock to make the pieces needed. There is minimal waste of the cardstock. However, I will also list the measurements below. I also used 5 sheets of the patterned paper and one sheet of the coordinating cardstock. On the front I have one of the shaker bubbles and I used black pom pom trim to cover the edges. I will have links to all of the supplies used for this.
I hope you enjoy the tutorial...Stay spooky, my friends!
Cutting List for Cardstock: I list this in numbered pieces, because of the way I construct this project. Cut one of each piece, except for the pockets where you will cut two of two different sizes. Two of the pieces (#2 and #3) are the same size, but are scored differently.
I have another tutorial, a design team project for Country Craft Creations, using Carta Bella’s Farmhouse Summer paper collection. This is a fun collection and I know you will love it!
This album is a meander style album but I added a little bit more paper to make it a little bigger. It’s perfect for using up scraps or the 6x6 paper pad that I received with this collection. I also used Artisan Cardstock and seam binding from Country Craft Creations.
I have another video tutorial using the Explosion Board...today we make tall gift boxes in two ways. I am using a variety of papers from Country Craft Creations, including the exclusive Country Bunny papers. I hope you enjoy this project!
This is my second design team tutorial for Country Craft Creations using Carta Bella's super cute and fun paper collection called "Summer". It is really a quick album and focuses on highlighting the 3 x 4" cut apart that came in the design team package. Please visit Country Craft Creations and check out what they have in the store. There are tons of options for every paper crafting need. https://countrycraftcreations.com
Here is a cutting list. I did not do a cutting guide (visual) since there aren't too many pieces. To complete this project you will need:
5 sheets of cardstock, 12 x 12. I used the 100 lb Artisan (white) for the base, and Summer Ivory and Baby Blue for the elements. You do not have to use the different colors at all, I just wanted to. I used approximately 6 pieces of patterned paper, which included one full 3 x 4" cut apart sheet. I used several yards of seam binding for the closures throughout the album. I made tags out of leftover cardstock and used eyelets for those. I also used Graphic 45 Artist Trading Card sized tags that came in the design team package.
Thanks for watching!! Stay crafty, my friends!
