🚨 At long last 🚨 The "September Project" Fall Is In The Air Landscape Folio #1      I have FINALLY finished the "September Project" that I was supposed to have finished in September of 2023!! So just a couple months late! But better late than never, Right!! 😂       I am so happy to be back in my craft room and going strong! This was to be just a 1 project kit but because everyone who purchased the kit had to wait for so long, I have decided to turn it into a small series of at least 3 projects.      Pictures really don't do it justice but I wanted to show you my favorite page(s) that I designed as a layout & closure for the section.      We purchased the Graphic 45 Hello Pumpkin Collection and used about 1/2 of what we purchased. The 12" x 12" Mail Collection, the 12" x 12" Patterns & Solids Collection and the 8" x 8" Paper Pad. I used 10 sheets from the Main Collection and 5 sheets each from the other Patterns ...

     This is my most popular project so far! I know I say it every time but I think this one has to be my favorite! It took me the longest to finish, I really took my time and put a lot of thought into decorating it and how to do that. I am not much of a "scrapbooker" so it took me quite some time to figure out what I was going to do. If you like this project and want to make one for yourself or to give as a gift to loved ones, I have a Construction ONLY tutorial in My Etsy Shop .       This Folio Album will hold quite a few photos. Decorated in more of the traditional "scrapbooking" style, it will hold about 60 photos 4" x 6" and below plus what you can fit in the pockets. This is a fairly large project so it will fit photos 8" x 10" and below depending on where you put them.       I used 3 different paper collections from 2 different companies and I think they turned out pretty good. There are 2 collections from Photo Play, Wild ...

      My favorite color is orange but I absolutely love the Simple Stories Vintage Lemon Twist Collection! I decided to use it on the NEW 2 Day Folio PLUS - Folio #2. I quite enjoy making this style of Memory Book and love to share with others!      I created an Etsy Shop and have a few tutorials as well as finished albums & folios for sale. I have also made my own Art Glitter Glue Bottle Bling Charm Dangles that you can find in my Etsy Shop as well.      This Folio will hold quite a few photos for its size and depending on the size of the photos, cropped 8" x 10" and below. Finish the Folio measures 8" x 10" x 1 1/4".      There is a Tutorial for the Construction of this project in my Etsy Shop ! There is also a Full Project Share Video on my YouTube Channel but I have added it here as well 😊 Products Used:     - Simple Stories Vintage Lemon Twist Collection Kit     - Simple Stories Vintage Lemon T...

      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” ...

     This is the 3rd of the folios I have done of the same design! It is just amazing how different they can all look just by using a different DSP. I haven't decided yet buy I may give this one away on my Facebook page or in my Facebook Group.      I think I covered everything in the walk-through video so there isn't really much else to say other than thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and I hope you like what you see.   Product List Paper Trimmer [ 152392 ] $34.00 Stitched So Sweetly Dies [ 151690 ] $44.00 Oh So Eclectic Clear-Mount Bundle [145356] $63.00 Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper [144185] $14.50 Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper [ 144621 ] $14.50 Crumb Cake 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [ 120953 ] $12.00 Berry Burst 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [144243] $11.50 Berry Burst Classic Stampin' Pad [144083] ...

     This is my favorite of all the folios I have made lately! I used the Early Release Suite Ornate Garden from Stampin' Up! It is available as an entire Suite or you can get individual items from now until May 31st when it will be available in the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.       I decided to make a smaller version of the original Written In The Stars Photo Folio so there is a Cutting Guide without instructions for this one, you will need the original tutorial for assembling the smaller one. I have done about 10 or so folios now and this is the first one I actually want to add photos to. I am going to fill it with pictures of my Mom... I think she would have like that. She is the one that got me into Stampin' Up! and I think she would love this DSP.   Product List Paper Trimmer [ 152392 ] $34.00 Ornate Style Bundle [ 154119 ] $71.00 Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper [ 152488 ] $20...

     This is a larger folio I did again using something different from Stampin' Up! DSP, I did use some Stampin' Up! products on the cover though 😂      This is the first project I posted written instructions for on my Facebook group, Together We Are HappiLeaStamppin. Check the file section and you should find the file to download.      I used a pack of patterned paper I found at Michaels in Saskatoon called Star Traveler by CraftSmart. I used the papers in the folio but managed to use the Stampin' Up! Stitched Stars Dies to add some decoration to the cover.   Product List Paper Trimmer [ 152392 ] $34.00 Stitched Stars Dies [ 150653 ] $52.00 Basic Black 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [ 121045 ] $12.00 Gold Foil Sheets [ 132622 ] $6.75 Paper Snips [ 103579 ] $13.50 Tear & Tape Adhesive [ 138995 ] $9.50 Multipurpose Liquid Glue ...
