Prague Castle Layout

The last stop during our Panoramic Prague excursion is at Prague Castle. This UNSESCO world heritage site was most likely built in 880AD. It holds a Guinness Book of World Records title for being the largest castle in the world. We got to see the changing of the guards and look out over Prague - beautiful views! We also wandered around the area and got to see St. Vitus Cathedral.

The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch I found on Pinterest.

I followed the sketch closely but added a large mat background for visual interest. The title was cut on my Cricut using the font I have chosen for the layouts in this album.

Nature Walk Mini Album and Walk Thru Video

I am back! I know it has been awhile but I am finally getting my mojo back and getting back into scrapbooking, card making and paper crafting. For those who don't know I had shoulder replacement surgery on my right shoulder (my dominant arm) in December. This makes me now with both shoulders having been replaced. This time it took me a little longer to get up to crafting. But I finally did and will be sharing with you my recent work over the coming days and weeks!

One of the first things I did is this mini album project. My wonderful husband gifted me a subscription to Your Book of Memories for my birthday/Mother's Day. I have long been inspired by Frances Long and the mini album projects through the classes on their website. I was thrilled to receive this gift and there are so many projects to choose from! I decided to make a mini album as a gift for Mike using the Kindful Mini Album class directions. I am so excited with how this came out!

You can see the pages of the mini album in the following pictures. I have also included a walk thru video at the end of this post.

You can see my Walkthru of the Mini Album in this video from my YouTube Channel.

I hope you like this paper crafting project. Thanks for stopping by!

Best Friends Mini Album Project and Process Video

My oldest had their best friend visit this past September and they had such a great time together. I wanted to create a mini album for each of them as a gift to record the memories from their time together. I created this simple mini album for each of them. This was a simple design mini album and measures 6" x 6" with a spine that is 1 3/4" wide. There is a strap with a magnet to keep the album closed. There are 10 pages in total in the album and holds 21 photos. There are also pockets on the inside of the front and back covers for memorabilia along with some tags for journaling their memories together.

You can see the pages of the mini album in the following pictures. I have also included a walkthru video along with my process video at the end of this post.

I used the a fall paper collection I found along with medium weight chipboard and medium and heavy weight kraft cardstock to create this mini album project. You can find a PDF with the supplies list and cutlist by following this link - Supplies and Cutlist.

You can see my Walkthru of the Mini Album in this video from my YouTube Channel.

For this project I did a process video which walks you through creating the base album along with decorating the pages. You can see this video on my YouTube Channel.

I hope you like this paper crafting project. Thanks for stopping by!

World Clock Layout

One of the highlights during our Panoramic Prague Excursion was seeing the World Clock in Old Town Square. The clock is mounted on the southern wall of the city's Old Town Hall. The clock mechanism has three main components – the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; statues of various Catholic saints stand on either side of the clock; "The Walk of the Apostles", an hourly show of moving Apostle figures and other sculptures, notably a figure of a skeleton that represents Death, striking the time; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months. 

The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch I found on Pinterest.

I stayed close to the sketch for this layout. I did add a few extra banner strips to the left large banner for visual interest. I also used the circle element for my journal strips. I cut the title on my Cricut.

Charles Bridge Layout

During our Prague by Night Excursion we got to see a bit of the Charles Bridge - it was so beautiful all lit up! During out Panoramic Prague Excursion we got to see the bridge during the day and closeup. It was such a beautiful pedestrian bridge to walk over. It took us over the Vltava River. Lots of statues - too many to remember the names of. One statue we really liked was the one of John of Nepomuk. 

The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch from Sketch N Scrap I found on Pinterest.

I kept pretty close to the sketch with this layout. I only added some strips for journaling and some banners for embellishments. I also added some faux-stitching using a black pen and ruler. The title was cut using my Cricut and in the same font I have been using for the layouts in this album.

Modern Christmas One Sheet Wonder Card Workshop

The next one sheet wonder I did for this year's Christmas cards is this one featuring the Modern Christmas suite from Stampin' Up. I loved working with just black, white and gold in these cards - it gives an elegant look and feel to them.

As always I am sharing the cutting diagram for the patterned paper here with you. The cardstock cutting diagrams and card sketches are available with purchase of the workshop digital files.
