Did Someone Say Christmas?

Good morning and a very happy Sunday, welcome to Christmas in July!

I've made this HUGE card using the fab new Not Just For Christmas collection from Relatively Thoughtful.

As my daughter has two cats this card is definitely going to her.

For my main focal point, I've made a shaker.

Then I've just matted and layered some of the cute images.

There are some beautiful cut-apart sheets in the collection.

So I bit the bullet and cut out a few sheets and stuck them onto some black card all ready to cut out.

And here's a few that I made earlier lol. The black card underneath make the images pop and it also gives a bit of stability to the papers.

And we're all done! The card is a sheet of A4 folded in half, so plenty of room for the images.

And here's some up-close cuteness!

The image underneath says 'Meowy & Bright'

Obviously, the fur on the hat has been glittered - it is Christmas after all.

The collection can be found here in the store in both digital and paper formats.

It's time for the third part of my Alice album using papers from Relatively Thoughtful, and a tutorial from Paul Lang-Ford. This time around it's the 2nd removable insert using papers from the Alice's Tea Party Floral collection.

It's made in exactly the same way as the first insert, so if you want more details please click here.

This is the more contemporary collection and has some amazing cut-apart sheets.

Again none of the ephemera has been stuck down as I will be putting photographs in first.

Again these are perfectly sized for full sized 6x4 photos.

Such beautiful images

And lots of room for photographs.

This is the back page which has 2 deep pockets.

These are the 2 inserts together - the same but very different!

And with the album cover.

This is how they look slotted into place.

All ready and waiting for my photos.

This massive collection can be found here in the store in both digital and paper formats.

Alice's Tea Party Part 2

Good morning and a very happy Sunday. Today I'm sharing the second part of my mini album made with the beautiful new Alice Vintage Charm collection from Relatively Thoughtful.

The fabulous thing about Sally's new collection is that there is so much to it! There are cut apart sheets, vintage collections, amazing florals, and all in such beautiful colours.

Again, following Paul Lang Ford's tutorial I decorated the base pages of the albums. As there are two separate sides to the album I thought it was perfect to have a vintage and a contemporary side.

These photo mats are 6.25 x 4.25 so are perfect for full size photographs.

Aren't these papers gorgeous?

On this fold-out page, there are loads of spaces for 6x4 photos.

And Paul gives you full instructions on making all of the pages.

This is the back page, there are two pockets here so lots of room for bits and bobs.

Now for the fun part - it's time to decorate. These are just some of the ephemera pieces cut from the cut-apart sheets. They are perfect for journaling in your album.
