I hadn’t been crafting in my craft room for quite some time when I was messaged by a member of my private Facebook group. They were having a little trouble with the Tropical State of Mind Gatefold Album cause I changed a few things in the written instructions and never got to doing a new video… or video series which I did! I really procrastinated I think cause I didn’t want to do another one just like it, so I asked if it would still make scenes if I made it bigger but kept all the pieces in the same order and she was ok with that! So became the Tropical State of Mine Plus Size Folio! 😃
I really want Stampin’ Up! to design some scrapbook papers like other companies so it wasn’t so repetitive while making projects like this. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Stampin’ Up!, they just need better designer papers!!
I used the Simple Stories Vintage Garden District for this project, 2 packages of the 12” x 12” and some from the 6” x 8” paper pad. I also had the ephemera pack, the chipboard stickers & chipboard accents.
The papers in this collection are absolutely stunning and I tried to use them as much as I could with out having to cut into them
These 2 layouts were a kit I had gotten at a Fundraiser I had been a part of this year! It was a virtual one of coarse but it was great! I had never done one before an would definitely do it again! Anyway... this was included in the package and I hadn't gotten around to finishing all the projects we did so I decided to use it in my Folio. I had to cut down the pages of coarse as they were 12x12 and my project isn't that big. I even managed to use most of the scraps from cutting down the pages. I used more of the elements from the ephemera that was included in that kit too. You can see some of them on the layouts above too.

I am not a big scrapbooker but I have done quite a bit of it in this project! I had a lot of opportunity for layouts so I decided to take a stab at it! I got a lot of the inspiration from Pinterest and groups on Facebook! There are a lot of amazing crafters out there!!!

There is a Final Review of the project on my YouTube Channel if anyone is interested in see the entire project. These are just a few of my favorite images from the project that I thought I would share on my blog as well.
