Kentucky Derby

The Kentucky Derby was definitely one of our “Bucket List” trips.

Kentucky Derby scrapbook layout

It was a lot of fun–quite the experience. I didn’t know where to look. There were just so many people, so many fun and interesting hats, and the horses were amazingly beautiful.

So glad I was finally able to get this layout done using the Let’s Scrap Sketches 1-15-18 sketch.

New Flip and Fold Scrapbook Mini

Not exactly a brand new flip and fold scrapbook mini from a design standpoint, but new in the sense that I made another one with a completely different color scheme/paper line.

This is the same mini album that was featured in Scor-Pal’s July 2017 Newsletter.

To see the tutorial and another take on this design, please see the original post here.

Handmade Photo Album – Tutorial

Featured in Scor-Pal’s July Newsletter!


handmade photo album

 

This is a fun and simple handmade photo album that has lots of pockets and folds.  A while back someone gifted one like it to me because they knew I liked paper crafting and I loved it so much, I decided to make this one.  It was fun examining it to figure out the measurements and how the folds and pockets came together. I also enjoyed putting my own spin on it as we often do as paper crafters.

Here are the inside pages followed by an easy tutorial. Continue reading “Handmade Photo Album – Tutorial”
