Czech Resistance During WWII

The next excursion we went on during our time in Prague was Czech Resistance During WWII. We visited several locations in Prague were significant events during WWII took place. It was great to learn more of the history of this beautiful city.

The inspiration started from a Pinterest sketch and then I changed it up to work with the photos I was using. The title and hexagons were cut on my Cricut. I added some faux-stitching on a few of the hexagons for visual interest.

Lovely Blossoms Card Workshop

With getting back into crafting I am also getting back into cardmaking. I did this card workshop slightly different from my normal One Sheet Wonders in that I used 3 12" x 6" sheets of the double-sided patterned paper for this to change things up a bit. I also changed it up slightly and created a second version of the cards using different DSP from the same collection to show how you can use 1 card workshop design with different papers to create a different look.

Version 1

Version 2

The samples shown here use 3 pieces of 12" x 6" double-sided patterned paper along with the coordinating cardstock, stamp and die cut set. 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.

This is the cutting diagrams for the sheets of patterned paper.

These are the 8 cards you will be able to create with each version of this workshop - cards 1, 2, and 6 make 2 of each for a total of 11 cards made with each version.

Version 1 - Card 1 - 4

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!
