Frank Garcia Mini Album Parcel Club - Home Again

Hello, crafty friends!!!

I have been wanting to share this mini album with you all! It is a kit provided by the amazing Frank Garcia as part of his Mini Album Parcel Club. I love that he provides step-by step instructions on how to complete the album and the materials are also included. You can either follow the step-by-step directions, or simply use the guide as inspiration and make it your own. Because the ephemera and the Home Again papers didn't really go with my plan to use the album for my travel photos, I have decided to do my own page designs.

My new crafty friend, Kristianne, has leftover papers and ephemera from the Home Again collection and she sent me beautiful handmade embellishments. She is so amazing, very creative and talented. She also has a YouTube channel where she shows how to make embellishments and other craft ideas. So, thank you very much, Kristianne. You are very generous and so kind to make all the paper pretties for my album. You've definitely helped me finish this album in no time! xoxo!!!

 Okay guys, here are some photos:




 Look how chunky this album is!!! I love it so much!


Back of the album:


Here are the pages:


I made a cascading feature so that I can add a lot of photos.



Kristianne even sent me extra ephemera and a roll of washi tape, which I used to tape down some of the photos. Isn't she the best?! You have to see all the goodies she made for me - click here.




Another cascading layout, this time I used a paperclip to keep the pages together:







I made a pocket for all the extra photos and journaling that I wasn't able to fit in the album. I think it makes for a fun, interactive element. 



Here is the album again. I hope you enjoyed it! Big thank you, once again, to Frank Garcia for making this beautiful album kit available... and Kristianne for the gorgeous embellishments!!!


With my leftover papers and ephemera from the kit, I made some cards for a friend.







I hope you enjoy my crafts and you are inspired to create today!!!

Merriest Christmas Wishes - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello friends. I'm here to show you a super easy Christmas shaker card made possible by the new Pretty Pink Posh Tree Cover Plate . I get really excited when I can whip up a card in just a few minutes. Let's get started! First, I cut the Tree Cover Plate from light pink cardstock and glued a sheet of clear acetate on the back. I added foam tape all around the edges and in the spaces between the trees. Then, I sprinkled in some Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads . After that, I peeled off the backing of the foam tape and glued on a patterned paper that's A2-sized. For the words, I used white heat embossed with a saying from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas Stamp Set on red cardstock. Then, I cut it out with a die from the Sentiment Strip Dies and gave it some extra pop by mounting it with foam. To make things extra special, I added Metallic Gold Pearls here and there for a touch of sparkle. I'm just thrilled with how quickly this card came together. I hope it gets your cre...

Merry Christmas - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello friends! T oday I've got a delightful Christmas shaker card featuring the Pretty Pink Posh Stocking Shaker Die as the star of the show. This card is a breeze to recreate, so let's dive right in! First things first, I took some pink cardstock and cut it into a large rectangle using the Eyelet Rectangles Dies. Then, I used the Stocking Shaker Die to cut out the center area of the stocking. I taped the edges of the stocking onto the pink card panel and added a piece of clear acetate to the back of the stocking shape. To create the shaker part, I attached foam tape to the back of the card panel and filled it up with the Christmas Tree Mix . For the back of the shaker stocking, I used a piece of red cardstock that I decorated with dots using the Mini Polka Dots Stencil. For the sentiment, I cut out " Merry " in silver glitter foam and stamped " Christmas " in black ink on the top part of the stocking. Next, I cut out a cute Christmas tree from green card...

Thankful For You - Pretty Pink Posh

Hey crafty pals!  I have a cool box card to share. I had this idea of fitting the PPP mug into the Scallop Box Card , and guess what? It totally worked, and I'm beyond thrilled! So, let's dive into the nitty-gritty. I grabbed some Sage green cardstock and cut out the box card. I assembled the box and added in three inserts and jazzed things up with dies from the Fall Cornucopia and Fall Mug Additions Dies. I used Spellbinders cardstock for all those awesome dies. How adorable is that little fox peeking out of the mug, by the way? And speaking of the mug, I added a sweet design using the Deco Leaves Stencil and some Glacier White Ranges Pigment Ink . Now, here comes the fun part. I used the Fall Mug Additions Dies and Fall Cornucopia Dies to cut out various shapes in different cardstock colors. I glued these on the inserts, creating the cutest autumn scene you ever did see. Next up, I used hot foil to make the Thankful Script shine, cut it with the Thankful Shadow Die, and ...
