My Travel Album is complete and the FREE tutorials are available!!!


Oh my goodness, this paper collection is so much fun and it goes perfectly in this project.

Part one of the tutorial series will go over how to cover the Graphic 45 Travel Album Cover and some options I came up with for it.  I think the paper collection "Fresh Picked" by Country Craft Creations is just perfect with this!


Part 2 is live now and will go over what I did with the inserts...they are NOT your average inserts.  I tried to come up with several different ways to enhance and expand the inserts, making them even more functional in your Travel Album.

I do hope that you go check these out!

I have all of the links to the products I received in my design team package are in the video description boxes.

Have fun and stay crafty!

and pop up elements.


The pages on the left has a new slider page idea and the one on the right has a quad pocket.
