Welcome to my little corner of the crafty world! I’m so excited to finally launch this blog and share the albums, stories, and paper magic that bring me joy. Whether you're here for inspiration, tutorials, or just to peek at my latest creations—thank you for stopping by. Let’s make something beautiful together, one page at a time. 💛
I’m so excited to share my latest creation using Graphic 45’s vibrant Seas the Day paper collection — a pocket mini album I designed and handcrafted especially for my niece, Lexi.
This album is a tropical escape brought to life through layers of playful turtles, vibrant coral reefs, and shimmering waves in hues of turquoise, violet, coral, and sunshine yellow. I created each pocket to hold photos and journaling cards that capture Lexi’s love of the water and her sunny spirit on vacation in Cancun, Mexico.
Every detail, from the adorable embellishments on the dimensional cover, was made with love. What makes this album even more special is the collection of candid moments tucked inside — memories of Lexi enjoying a beautiful day by the water, splashing in the pool with me, and spending time walking the beach with her cousins. I wanted each flip and pocket to feel like uncovering a new ocean treasure.
Whether you're a fellow paper crafter or just love mini albums with heart, I hope this project inspires you to dive into your creativity and “seas the day” with joy.
I have also created a DIY tutorial that is perfect for paper crafters of all levels - whether you're a beginner or seasoned scrapbooker. I'll guide you step-by-step through the process of creating the base, assembling the pockets, and decorating the pages using this beautiful under-the sea inspired collection filled with coral reefs, turtles, and tropical colors.
