I think this is the prettiest snow globe I've seen...very sophisticated, very stylish. The image of the white poinsettia is breathtaking...so beautiful! I like that this is not a Christmas book, rather it is a lovely celebration of winter. Those G45 tags are the perfect size for your pocket pages, each prettier than the last. Ha! For a moment, I forgot that these base pages are G45 in origin...of course the tags are the perfect fit. Duh! I really like the interesting ways you have used the full page images...using these designer sheets has challenged me in the past. From one paper artist to another, this is one to be proud of, Kathy. I have a hard time combining collections, but you seem to have the perfect skillset to build this type of project. Really a well designed project. Love your ribbon closure application. I know that using a brown ink to distress paper edges gives a vintage look, but I think I might have used a blue for this book...personal preference. Thanks for detailing the construction of your pages...much appreciated!! This has been such a pleasant way to spend my afternoon...enjoyed candy cane coffee as your pages were turning. Wonderful video!!
Thanks so much, Martie! It really was fun to re-purpose the signatures that I removed from previous albums. This was a "trial run" sort of project, and I did learn some things in the process. I think I can do an even better job next time! So glad you were able to enjoy a delicious cup of holiday coffee as you watched! I always appreciate your astute observations. I can tell you really love paper, as I do! Merry Christmas, my friend!
Hi Kathy! What a gorgeous Album! You make the most beautiful projects my friend! I love your creativity. Thank you for all the tips you bring to us. I really appreciate it. You are one of the very best crafters I know. It is my goal to become a great card maker and crafter too. I just wish I had more time to be in my craft room. Lately I have had a lot more chores getting ready for Christmas and cleaning our home. Once in awhile the house has to be cleaned. But goodness, I’d rather be creating. Please know how much I appreciate you and the things I have learned from you. Have a blessed, happy and Merry Christmas. Love and hugs from Iowa!
The most beautiful album! I am new to all this paper crafting and hope I can find most of these gorgeous items you have used. I am just starting at age 75 so don’t have a lot of supplies but can hardly wait to try this. Have only made a few folios so far. Thank you so much for the pleasure and inspiration of your craft. Blessings!
Hello, Nana Jacobson! So glad you are here! I have loads and loads of free folio tutorials, so you can keep busy for quite some time. I always tell my followers, if you don't have what I've used here, just substitute with something you already have in your stash. Thanks for the sweet words.
Hello Kathy! This mini album is absolutely gorgeous! You are the best crafter in the whole world my friend! It is my goal to become a great crafter/card and gift box maker too. I haven’t had time to craft anything for about a month now. Getting ready for Christmas and cleaning house and just keep up with everyday chores has kept me out of my craft room for the most part. I’m so anxious to get back to making my cards. Thank you so much for all of the fabulous tips you bring to us. I continue to learn so much from you. Have a blessed, happy and Merry Christmas with your family. Lots of love from Iowa!
Merry Christmas, my friend! I have cleaned up the studio, baked the cookies, wrapped the presents and now I think i will take a nap! LOL Seriously, your kind words warm my heart. Everything you make is just lovely! Enjoy your holiday! Hugs!
OK, I guess I was inspired because I just went on a reckless abandoned shopping spree…most expensive journal in crafting history! I have paper coming across the ocean and from ends in US unknown. NOW what ? :). LOL. I think I got everything I need to make it. I have Winter Tale coming in many forms. You said Blue land ?( one with bird and nest in beginning) I couldn’t locate or understand that but that is beautiful and I’d love it. I need to just get lost in all this loveliness and play. Worth every penny and far more. Food for the soul…TY !! Edit. Found it :)
Hello, KC! Oh, MY! Sounds like you really got inspired! You will not be sorry you invited all these beautiful papers into your life. They are so inspiring to work with. I've been a fan of Stamperia since 2017 when they first became available in the US. I tend to like their older collections more than some of their new lines, but I have enough to last me the rest of my life! I'm glad you found Blue Land. It's a gorgeous older collection and a real delight to work with. Please let me know how things go with your project! Happy crafting!
Clever idea to make an album with the extra pages! The different Stamperia collections do go very well together. Beautifully done!! Thank you for the tutorial!! ❤️
Wow, Marianne! Thank you so much! I have always loved color and pattern...even when I was a very little girl. Your kind words warm my heart on this frosty North Carolina morning. Merry Christmas!
Que delicado, elegante, dulce....que maravilla Kathy !!!!, me encantan todos, todos tus trabajos, ya lo sabes verdad?, y esqué siempre te digo lo mismo, pero, ....es así !!!, Un abrazo amiga desde Catalunya !!!!
Hello, Dear Merce! It's always such a joy to hear from you! I can feel the warmth of your friendship in your kind and sweet words! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! Hugs from North Carolina! xo
