Winter Monster Hats Album

 

Here's how my Matchbook Mini album turned out .... Love it!  This is FREE tutorial on you tube, showing how to create this album (dimensions included).  Here I have created these pages digitally using my Winter Chills Collection.  Below I have 6 FREE png files for YOU!  Once you've downloaded them, all you have to do is drop in your photos and size them correctly.  Save the file then as a jpeg file and have them printed.  Then add the pages to your album.  Easy as pie!

 

I choose to add 10 pages to my book (which equaled 20 different pictures), and look how thin it still is.  Click here to get the FREEBIE pages.  Enjoy!

 

Winter Window Album

 

My children might as well be snowmen and snowgirls.  When they get home from school they put on their snow suites and head outside into the freezing cold (even with the extra wind chill here) and spend the rest of the evening building snow people, forts, pulling each other on sleds, have snowball fights, etc.  On occasion I actually join them in all this chaos, but most of the time I watch from my 'winter window' and laugh and smile as they play.  This album was made to remind me of all the fun things I watch going on outside my 'winter window' during this cold season.

The box opens up and the pages flip out to the sides using Laura Denison's "out of the box bindingsystem."  Inside the pages are these fun interactive tags.

 

 

Open the page flaps for more places for photos and journaling.

Winter Chills Digital Collection

 

Winter finally came here in Utah, on Christmas Day! What a wonderful suprise!  I love winter… everything about it … the delicate white snow fluttering to the ground, the red noses on my kids faces, the snowmen and snowforts, tubbing down the hill, and the warm cocoa that greets you when you come inside from all the fun. Around our house, I don’t think a day goes by that my kids don’t spend some part of the day playing in the snow. As a result I get TONs of pictures and I wanted a kit that would ‘have it all.’ So I created the Winter Chills Collection. It has a fun, playful flavor but still showcases the whimsy.  It is loaded with all sorts of fun embellishments for any snowy day activity and 22 designer papers!  On sale this delightfully winter season.

 

And if you wanna save yourself a little extra time, here I've already made a bunch of titles, tags, and journaling spots in the Winter Memories Extras.

Sled Foto Folio Winter Sled

 

Here it is, the Winter Sled edition of the Sled Foto Folio.  This is the SAME pattern as the Christmas Sled Folio, but look how different it turned out!  It snowed on Christmas Day (yah!), and my kids begged us to take them sledding.  I got some great photos for this album and can't wait to add them to it.  Again, here is the link to tutorial on my website.  Here is the link to the you tube video accompanying the tutorial.  The video tutorial walks you through the process of how to construct this album, and hope it is very helpful to you .  I used the 3x4 and 4x6 cut aparts, as well as the sticker sheet from this paper line. 

 

Notice the large photo mats tucked into the pocket there.  Great for adding extra photos of your event.

 

Again, room for more large photo mats there on the right.

Busy Busy

 

Okay, I've been super busy the past few months making and designing scrapbooks.  These ones I completed in February, but wasn't going to post them until my website was up and running so the patterns could be purchased.  Well... we are fast approaching April now and I still  haven't completed the website.  So I thought I could at least give you a sneak peak of what I have been doing.  This album was designed by me using file folders.  The version you see here is my digital hybrid version.  I created winter paper collection (adorable) and then created this book using my papers and embellishments.  The papers, elements, and even the hybrid book will be available to purchase (so you can add your photos in the place of mine) ... eventually.  :)

 

This is the same album as the one above, however, it was created using traditional scrapbooking methods.  I believe I am going to be teaching the construction and design to this album at JoAnns in Cedar City, Utah sometime in August ... for a Back to School theme.  So look for more photos of that later.

 

(I decided to cut out the white center of this premade photo mat AFTER I glued it down, oops!)

 Just a look at SOME off the tags and fun that this album holds.   Lots of space for photos and journaling.

 

Next, I decided to make my own version of the Exploding Box.  This is the first take on it, un embellished.  Lid comes off and BOOM and album appears.  How fun!

 

 

Of course, by this time it was Valentines and I had to create this mailbox with the same idea (again un embellished yet).  LOVE IT!  This box stands about eight inches tall.  I have a few revisions left to do on this pattern before it will be ready for sale.

 

 Since these two designs I have made three other albums ... so come back soon for a sneak peak at those.  Happy Scrappin!
