Double Boxed Set

Although this project may look complicated, it's really not. The actual box is pretty simple and the page construction is a snap!

I used a combination of the Tim Holtz papers on one box and a combo of Christmas papers on the other. I can see this as a baby book, a school photo book (12 pages....12 years!) or even a travel book. It would also be super sweet in an all floral version.

This album is super quick and easy to put together. You could easily expand the photo capacity in this album to hold an additional 24 photos....that's a ton of vacation photos!

Supplies for this album are truly minimal, making this a very affordable project.

I used the 5x7 Kraft envelopes and cards, purchased from Michael's. Feel free to use any color as long as the size is 5x7.

Supplies:

6-5x7 envelopes WITH cards

4-sheets of 12x12 cardstock

Hole punch and eyelet setting tool

Decorative border punch

Corner rounder or chomper (optional)

Mini Handbag/Backpack

The supplies for this class are really minimal. You will need:

3-9 ½” x 4 ¼” envelopes (#10 )

4-sheets of 12x12 cardstock (maybe 1-2 extra for the “oops” factor)

1-6”x6” paper pad….36 sheets at least or 12x12 paper

Basic Tool kit (please check the blog for info on this)

1-decorative brad

Eyelets

Ribbon

Trims and embellishments of your choice

The handbag mini was made with a 6x6 paper pad. If you choose to use this size, you will need a pad with at least 36 sheets of paper. Most of them are 24 so make sure to double check.

Of course you could use 12x12 with plenty of leftovers to make a few more albums.

The envelopes really do need to be 4 1/4" wide. I used the Recollections brand...it's what I had on hand. The opening does not matter. Just be sure NOT to use the cheap white business envelopes. You'll be disappointed with the end results in your mini.

This class will be Thursday July 31st 5pm-8pm and Saturday August 2nd 10am-2pm.

Cost of this class will be $20, payable to the instructor the day of class.

I highly recommend the Saturday class if you are new to mini album making. The Thursday night classes skip along at a fairly good pace. You'll have more time in the Saturday class to build and finish your project.

Flower, flowers and more flowers!

Oh my! If you have seen the top of the Exploding Mini Album, these are the flowers that I made for the top of that box. Flowers really are simple to make. They just require a bit of time and patience.

I will be supplying the fabrics we will be using, as well as a bunch of ink colors.

Although a non-stick craft sheet is a handy thing to have, if you don't own one, I have a substitute you can use in class.

SUPPLIES:

Die cutting machine

Tattered floral die (by Tim Holtz)

Hot glue gun

Non-stick craft sheet

Small spray bottle of water

Small hole punch

Scissors

Brads (color doesn't matter...used just to hold some of the layers together)

Roll of paper towels

Flower stamens (available in the cake decorating department or the wedding department)

Distress inks (any colors you may have on hand)

Round chopstick ( used for rolling petals)

Long nosed tweezers

If you would like to attend this class but don't own a die cutting machine, just contact me.

Class day will be Saturday June 28th 10am-2pm

Class fee will be $15. Payable to the instructor the day of class.

Exploding Mini Album

This was so much fun to make.....I really like they way it turned out. This box/mini album has a TON of room in it for photos as well as large gussets between the pages for big chunky embellishments.

I used the rest of the the Tim Holtz "Wallflower" paper to make this. The paper is available at all of the crafty stores in town. You will need to look for it in the Tim Holtz section of the store. It's not with the rest of the paper stacks.

The small paper bags I used are the Celebrate It brand. They come in a package of 16. I always have these on hand, but I do believe you can buy them individually. I used black but feel free to be colorful!

We will be using a die cutting machine and new techniques for this album. You will learn how to use some of the wafer thin dies in a different way, expanding the ways that you can use them. We will also be using an embossing folder.

SUPPLIES:

1-package of 12x12 cardstock

Patterned paper of your choice

4-small paper bags (3 1/2" x 6 3/4")

Basic Tool Kit

This class will be a Saturday ONLY class. There just won't be enough time to do this in a Thursday evening class. If scheduling is an issue for you, just contact me and we will make something work for you.

Class will be Saturday June 21st 10am-2pm.

Cost of class will be $27.

The cost of the class will include all of the chipboard pieces, magnets, the written pattern and a video tutorial.

I will be doing a flower class on June 28th for the flowers on and in this mini album.....stay tuned for more info on that.

Back to Basics #2

Using the same basic page construction as album #1 you will learn how to make a different style of mini album. In class you will learn how to make and attach different style flaps and pockets. How to use magnets and how to size elements according to the paper designs.

This mini album really is not complicated to make and complete. I kept my embellishing to a minimum.....no ribbons or flowers! Your page kit of choice will probably come with stickers and such for you to use.

I chose to use the Tim Holtz Wallflower paper....this is available at Hobby Lobby.....I just saw it today! I really did try to keep this one manly, which is tough to do! I'm saving the floral designs from the paper pad for another upcoming project......Stay tuned!

SUPPLIES:

Basic took kit (check the basic tool kit tab here on the blog)

1-page kit OR 12 sheets of 12x12 patterned paper

10-sheets of 12x12 cardstock (must be 12x12)

Scotch quick dry adhesive or ATG

There will be 2 different class times available for you to choose from:

Thursday June 12th 5pm-8pm OR Saturday June 14th 10am-2pm.

Class fee will be $25.

The class fee includes the chipboard you will need for the covers, double sided tape and the magnets used in the album.

For those new to my classes, please know that your class fee will also include a written pattern for the album plus access to the video to help with future projects.

Back to Basics #1

Okay...so why the name? Hopefully you checked out the video for this one.....and it's not just about the page kits. I want to review some of the basic elements used in the making of the project. Folding paper...the how and why. What happens when you score paper? How to choose the right cardstock and adhesives. How to cut the cardstock to get maximum use. Different hinge styles and why to choose one over another.

Nothing really complicated but I hope to give you a ton of info as we work through the project. Beginners and pros will find this a useful class full of information.

SUPPLIES:

1-page kit (at least 12 papers or leftovers????)

10 sheets of 12x12 cardstock

Basic Tool Kit

Scotch quick dry adhesive or ATG

I did use 9 sheets of cardstock for this....but we'll go with 10 just for the oops factor....

The supplies are really minimal which makes this little album a great design to add to your arsenal!! LOL.....

Class day will be Saturday June 7th. Cost of class will be $20.

Don't forget to use those coupons for you supplies!

Photo Folio

If you did the Project Life in a box class and have cards leftover......or have some of the 4x6 and 2x3 cards, this is a great way to use them. The Folio itself is a snap to put together. After doing one in class I'll bet you will come up with a design or two of your own.

SUPPLIES:

4x6 AND 2x3 Project Life cards ( or something similar)

8-10 sheets of 12x12 cardstock

6-8 sheets of patterned paper

Basic Tool Kit

Corner Rounder Punch (optional)

I will be supplying the Kraft-Tex for the hinges in this Folio. You will have a choice of Kraft, White or Black. When choosing cardstock, keep in mind the hinges will show.

Have tons of paper and don't want to buy the cards? No problem, you can do this project with paper as well. I think this would look great all done in bright neon colors for kids or maybe themed for a wedding?

Class dates:

Thursday May 22nd 5pm-8pm

Saturday May 24th 10am-2pm

Cost of this class will be $15

As always, feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Happy Crafting!

Project Life in a Box

The supplies for this project really are not hard to find....all 3 of the stores in town carry some version of the cards....Project Life is everywhere! So for this class you will need:

12-12x12 sheets of cardstock

4x6 cards.....at least 24

3x4 cards.....at least 8

Corner rounder (optional)

Basic tool kit

If you watched the video...and hopefully you did! You know that you don't NEED the cards to do this project. Paper will work just fine for this. Tim Holtz is available everywhere but wouldn't this be super cute in baby paper? Or a fun gift for grandma? What about a wedding?

I will be supplying all of the pre-cut chipboard pieces for this project. You will have the choice of the natural chipboard, which you can ink up, or black. Either way you go, keep in mind that some of the edges will show.

Class for this project will be May 17th 10am-2pm. This will be a Saturday only project.

Cost of this class will be $25.

As always, feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Triple Play Boxed Set

Isn't this just too cool! Compact but with a TON of space for all those special photos...

The albums are made from photo envelopes so each page is actually a pocket page which holds another photo mat.

The beauty of this project is that it is truly fast and simple. You CAN'T stuff it full of embellishments or the books won't fit into the box! That makes this project Easy Peasy in my world.

I revisited this project to simplify it and make the basic construction a bit easier....as well as adjusting the sizing to fit 4x6 photos.....it really is about the photos right?

In class you will build the box to hold the albums and make the 3 albums that fit into the box.

SUPPLIES:

1-box of photo envelopes (6 1/2" x 4 3/4")

8-sheets of 12x12 cardstock

Patterned paper of your choice

Basic took kit

I used the Teresa Collins "Stationary Noted." This stack has a lot of cut-outs in it that were great to add into the album without adding bulk. (Shhh....I got this at M*****l's)

You could use the Mat-Stacks.....those pre-cut stacks that measure 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" for the albums but you will need a few sheets of paper for the outside of the box.

The envelopes came from Staples....$8.99 for a box of 50. You really do need the "photo" size for this project to work. The box of 50 means you will be able to do more than one project! BONUS! I bet you can find these at other office supply stores as well. I did try Wally World and they didn't carry them.

I will be supplying all of the pre-cut BLACK chipboard for this project. Keep in mind the black will be showing when you choose your papers.

The boxed set is at Hobby Lobby if you need to get your hands on it! Up on the bakers rack by the check stands.

Class will be:

Thursday May 8th 5pm-8pm (Tuesday May 13th if needed)

Saturday May 10th 10am-2pm

Class fee is $20

As always, feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Library Pocket Mini

This little album is super sweet! Each page is actually a pocket to hold photo mats as well as a place for photos on the page itself.

This version was made with cream cardstock and leftover 6x6 paper from a My Mind's Eye paper pad.

This one is made with black cardstock and Prima's Romance Novel 6x6 paper pad. This paper pad had a ton of little cut outs to embellish with.

I

This album has a new binding technique that is super simple and I think you are gonna love it!

Just for something a bit different, I used a die and my Big Kick to cut the cute little photos mats. I will bring this to class so you can do the same thing if you choose to.

For this class you will need:

Basic Tool Kit

10 Sheets of 12x12 cardstock

Patterned paper (a 6x6 paper pad will work )

Edge punch

Embellishments of your choice (ribbon, flowers, stickers...etc)

Scotch quick dry adhesive

This album could also be made with double sided paper....I think that would look great as well. If you choose to do this you will need at LEAST 6 sheets of paper as well as a few sheets of cardstock for photo mats. This would be a great way to use of some of the leftovers in your stash.

This class will be Saturday May 3rd. Class time will be 10am-2pm.

Cost of class will be $15.

Fee free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Easy Peasy Album Series

These little albums are fast, fun and super inexpensive to make. With ONE 12x12 double sided paper stack you can make 3 different album styles. All 3 are basically score, cut and fold. Easy Peasy! It just doesn't get any easier than this!

ALBUM #1

This little album has 6 pages. Each page has a front pocket to hold a photo mat or two.

And each page opens to reveal a double photo mat. That's 4 photos on one page!

This one is bound with the Zutter Bind-it-All. If you don't own one of these machines, this is a great opportunity to try it out in class.

ALBUM #2

This is the largest of the three albums. If will comfortably fit 5x7 photos.

There are 6 pages and each page has a front loading pocket and a top loading pocket for photo mats.

This one uses loose binder rings to hold it together.

ALBUM # 3

This album is so darn cute. There are 6 pages and each page has multiple pages. There is a pocket on the inside of each page....

As well as a pocket in the top of each page. Although this one looks complicated, it really is just score, fold and cut!

All three of these albums were made using the same 12x12 stack of double sided paper. I used 8 1/2" x 11" card stock for all the mats and tags.

I did use my Bind-it-All on one of the albums, but you could certainly use binder rings for all of them.

SUPPLY LIST: (for all 3 albums)

1-12x12 DOUBLE SIDED paper stack (24 pages at least)

1-package of 8 1/2"x11" card stock

Binder rings

Eyelets large enough for the binder rings to fit through

Embellishments of your choice

I will supply the chipboard covers for the albums

TOOLS:

Basic tool kit

Hole punch to match eyelets

Eyelet setting tools

Edge punch (optional)

Corner punch or rounder (optional)

Binder rings

You won't need eyelets for Album #1 but you will need them for #2 and #3. We will use my Bind-it-All for Album #1....just so you have the chance to use this machine. I don't use mine often, but I do like it. I will supply the wires for this album.

Binder rings are available at the craft stores....7Gypsies brand or the office supply stores have some in cool colors. I did find a box of them for under $2......all silver at Wal-mart.

I am already hearing the question, "where do I find double-sided paper?" Hobby Lobby does have a few.....the Authentique brand and I believe they may carry a K&Company stack as well.

The other craft stores do have a few as well. Of course, you can always shop for paper on-line.

When shopping for the paper, keep in mind that you will need at least 24 sheets of paper......28 or 36 would be better. Each album takes 6 sheets as well as an additional 2 sheets for the covers.

If you are using paper in your stash, you will need at least 8 coordinating sheets.

I kept the embellishments to a minimum to keep the costs down on making these. I dug around in my stash and used what I had. The flowers on all 3 albums are all the same. I used the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die and a few brads.

Class dates will be:

Album #1 April 12th 10am-2pm Class fee $12

Album #2 April 19th 10am-2pm Class fee $10

Album #3 April 26th 10am-2pm Class fee $10

As always, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Graphic 45 Couture Purse Album

This album was really fun to make. I enjoyed working with the paper....it has such pretty images on it!

The actual construction of the album is not hard. It just looks complicated.

You can use any paper you choose to do this album....it does NOT have to be Graphic 45. Maybe you have something in your stash you have just been waiting for the perfect project to use it on....this is it!

If you would like to use the Graphic 45 papers, you will need to order them from your favorite on-line scrap store. It is not available to us in town.

12x12 Paper Pad.....$17

8x8 Paper Pad.....$8

Tags and pocket sheet...$3.50

Chipboard sheet....$4.00

More Penny Pinching fun!

This time the albums are made with file folders. This is a great material to work with. It's sturdy and actually easy to fold. This little album was made with ONE folder. How cute it this?

Album #2 uses 4 folders.....and this is my favorite. I love the look of this one. It really is fast and simple to make.

Using the Tim Holtz paper on this one makes it perfect for the guy in your life....son or husband? Full of fishing photos maybe?

If you really don't like the grunge look...here is the same album in different paper...

Gorgeous!....I love this one....just love it!

Album 3 is a bit larger but it's not any more complicated than the other 2.....

This one was tough to photograph due to the size. It is made with just 4 file folders and has a ton of space for larger photos...5x7.

All of these albums can be made with just one package of folders. I believe they come in a package of 12? One paper pack or stack...and would you believe that the first 2 have no card stock in them? Talk about pinching pennies!

As well as making the albums we will be doing some fun techniques with the Tim Holtz distress inks. It is one of the questions I get all the time. How do I use these and what makes them special or different? Come to class and I will show you!

In album class one and two you will learn the techniques used to make these tags using the distress inks. Keep in mind I made these to go with the grungy albums.....yours can look any way you choose.

In album class three, we will be using the Perfect Pearls to make tags for the album. This is another product I get questions about all the time.

So here is the supply list for all 3 classes:

1-package of file folders....letter size

1- paper stack or pad

1-package of manila tags #8 size (6.25x3.25)

Basic tool kit

Corner rounder

Edge punch if you have one

Heat tool

Non-stick craft sheet if you have one

small spray bottle with water

Stamps of your choice

Tim Holtz inks if you have them

Clear embossing powder and ink

I will be bringing the distress inks to class. If you do not own them, this will be a great opportunity for you to play with them before you buy them!

You do not have to have the non-stick craft sheet. I will supply a material that will work for you in class.

The file folders really do need to be of a decent quality....and you probably already have some. If not, you don't want to purchase these at the dollar store or Wal-mart. They end up with a fuzzy quality to them. I just stopped at Staples the other day and bought a 50 count box of heavy weight folders for under $10. You certainly don't need that many! but the quality of them is great....the 12 count package is more than enough.

Letter size folders is what we will be using, but if you have the legal size, that will work. We will be cutting these, so it really does not matter. Any color will work too. I know there are some great colored folders available. Just make sure it does NOT have a plastic coating.

If you have a paper stash at home, this would be a great series of projects to get them used up. The first album uses 2 sheets of paper...yup just 2 sheets of paper! or leftovers from a 6x6 pad. I know you will be making a ton of these!

Class dates:

Album 1 March 8 10am-2pm $12

Album 2 March 15 10am-2pm $12

Album 3 March 22 10am-2pm $15

As always, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Penny Pinching Paper Bag Album Series continues.....

Album One:

This album has side photo flaps, top pockets, and a half page style with a small pocket. It also uses a different binding system so you can attach smaller elements into your albums.

Album Two:

With this album you will be making double photo mats and stacked library pockets.

Album Three:

Album 3 uses the paper bags in a different way as well as incorporating mini paper bags as pages. Super cute!

With the penny pinching theme still in mind, all 3 albums were created with just ONE 12"x12" paper stack, ONE package of 25 count 12"x12" card stock, ONE package of 12 count paper bags and ONE package of mini bags.

I used the mini bags in the third album to actually create pages and then used the remainder as embellishments in the other two albums. Great way to use them up!

As well as penny pinching, these albums were also designed to teach new techniques....how to build pockets, use different hinge systems and different ways to use the hinges.

Although the three albums are different, you will not lack any photo real estate....there is a ton!

So, here's the supply list:

Basic Tool Kit

12x12 paper stack

12x12 card stock

1 package of paper bags (NOT lunch bags)

1 package of mini paper bags

You can find paper bags at Hobby Lobby in white and kraft in the paper department. The other guys have them in tons of colors in the party section of the store. Please don't use lunch bags or dollar store bags for this. They just are not sturdy enough and you will be really disappointed in the end results of your albums.

You will find the mini bags in the same sections of the store. These also come in colors and well as patterns! How fun.....the width should be about 2 1/2".

Feel free to use paper from your stash for these!

Class schedule:

Album One: Saturday February 15th 10am-2pm $15

Album Two: Saturday February 22nd 10am-2pm $15

Album Three: Saturday March 1st 10 am-2pm $15

I will be supplying the double sided tape as well as the rest of the ingredients to make the albums.

You can sign up with me directly or at Hobby Lobby. The albums are there on display along with the sign up sheet.

As always feel free to contact me with any questions!

Easel Card Box

This little box is really fun to put together. With all the pink and red stuff in the aisles at Hobby Lobby it was really hard to not buy one of everything. With budgets in mind, I kept the embellishments and supplies to a minimum for this project.

Here are the supplies that I used from Hobby Lobby:

You will find most of the crafting Valentine's supplies right in the front of the store in the seasonal aisle. I think I spent under $10, it was all on sale and I still have most of the 6x6 paper pad left I am using on another project...(coming soon)

I pulled a few things out of my stash...ribbon, flowers, rubber stamps....etc.

If you would like to attend this class you will need:

Basic Tool Kit

Decorative paper 6"x6" (works fine for this)

Embellishments of your choice

I will provide all of the pieces to put the box together. Everything will be pre-cut to make the class super simple.....you bring the fun goodies! and remember...this does not have to be pink! If you have things at home in your stash, this is a great little project to use them up.

Class will be Saturday, February 1st 10am-2pm at Hobby Lobby.

Cost of this class will be $20.

Please sign up at Hobby Lobby or directly with me.

The Penny Pinching Album Series.....

These albums were designed to make the most of the supplies we have. ONE 12x12 paper stack, ONE package of 12x12 card stock and ONE package of policy envelopes will make all 3 albums with envelopes to spare....or extras for the "oops" factor.

I used the My Mind's Eye Ruby Glittered Stack available at Hobby Lobby....don't forget the coupons!

As well as being designed for affordability, these albums were designed to be skill builders as well. With each class you will learn new techniques that will build on the class before it.

Each album is unique and different but the one thing they all have in common is they have a ton of photo real estate in them created with pages, pockets and tags.

SUPPLY LIST:

1-12x12 paper stack

1-12x12 package of matching card stock

1-package of #9 policy envelopes....

1-package of small velcro dots

The policy envelopes I purchased at the "other store"....I know...but I wanted the larger size. The policy envelope has the flap on the end.....not the side. You can get them at office supply stores as well, but the Recollections brand is the perfect size....9.5x4.1. The size is important so when you do purchase them, check the dimensions.

All 3 albums are at Hobby Lobby on display. You will notice that they are not embellished. With the Penny Pinching thoughts still on my mind, my plan is to use the scraps that we create to decorate the albums so additional supplies won't be needed.

Class for Album 1 will be Saturday, January 11th 10am-2pm

Class for Album 2 will be Saturday, January 18th 10am-2pm

Class for Album 3 will be Saturday, January 25th 10am-2pm

EACH class fee will be $15

As always feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
