Want to see a 6X6 Version of My Trifold Folio Album???

☀️Good morning! I have a walk through/talk through tutorial on a 6x6 version of my recent Nature’s Haven Trifold Folio Album❤️

📖The only difference in making this album are measurements and the waterfall has fewer pages. It is made/constructed exactly as the original 6x8 version, so please see the original tutorial for construction. The measurements are discussed in the video and in a cut guide in the video’s description

💕All links for the original album are in this version’s video description.

👻I used “Luna” by Prima👻…I had purchased this from Country Craft Creations a couple years ago. Since it was out (as I had used some for Kim’s file box tutorial from the 🤠Rodeo Roundup) I thought I’d smash it, and I did! This would look amazing with any collection!

Have fun and stay crafty!!!

Do you want to see some really cool cards and ideas with envelopes?

 Hey Y'all! I was playing with the new Card Fronts available exclusively at Country Craft Creations and I came up with some beautiful Mermaid cards and a fun album. The album started as cards, but I quickly reversed course and made an album instead using 5 envelopes and 4 card blanks. I mashed the Country Vow card blanks with the Cowgirl Way paper collection to make a fun and quick album.

We have introduced the Cowgirl Way collection and the Country Vow Card Fronts during our Rodeo Roundup Crop event. I have a playlist that includes all of the videos for that event (all with free tutorials!), and you can access that here. I give all of the information and measurements in this tutorial for the Country Vow Envelope Album. I didn't write them up here. It is easy, and if you have to make your own cards and envelopes, I give those sizes in the video. Thanks so much for watching, and I will be back soon with more fun things! If you would like to purchase these and other card fronts, check out this link. The Cowgirl Way Collection is here, Cowgirl Way Junk journal line is here. While you are at the store, don't forget your adhesives, cardstock, and chipboard...these are what I love to use: Art Glitter Glue Scor Tape Artisan Cardstock Heavy Weight Chipboard Light Weight Chipboard Here is my referral link, use it and I’ll earn points for crafting supplies so that I can share more tutorials!

Do you want to see what I did with my design team package leftovers???

I had the gorgeous collection by 49 & Market, Nature's Haven, and made a great tutorial for a Trifold Folio Album.  Well, I also had some leftovers.  I made this gorgeous little mini waterfall album to start.  The folio was a blank made also by 49 & Market, and it was perfect. 

Then I made this beautiful 12 x 12 layout for two 4 x 6 photos.  I not only used the leftovers but also my new Anna Griffin Embossing Folders!

Here's a peek inside the album.  I had so many ephemera and laser cuts left over, I had to use them up!

Isn't it pretty!  I just love the paper collection and had so much fun using up all of the bits and pieces I could. 

 Below is the video explaining it all.  Won't you come  and see what I did?  Thanks!!!

Stay Crafty, My Friends!

A bit of an update...

 I'm sorry, things have been busy...

I have a new design team package and did a video haul, you can see it here.

I am using an amazing collection, Photo Play's "Travel Junque" and it is fantastic.  It's perfect for any vacation adventures you want to document.

In the package I also received the new Country Craft Creations Card Fronts featuring the Country Bunny collection and it is so very sweet!

I made a Do-Si-Do notebook/journal with it, and have a tutorial that is quick and easy...another way to use the card fronts!

Have you seen the NEW Country Craft Creations Card Fronts??? I received the Country Bunny Card Fronts in my latest design team package and I thought of a different way to use them today. I really hope you like it. It doesn't take a lot of cardstock, I did use 4 card fronts to make two notebooks, and I added some Country Bunny Paper, a Country Craft Creations exclusive paper, to add some pockets. I used the pamphlet stitch in this project and will show you how to do that. All measurements are in the video as there really aren't many. Have fun!
