Coral Reef/Mermaid "Petals" Mini Album | Your Book of Memories | Imagine the Art Design

Image
  Hello everyone.  I recently posted a Shabby Chic Beach-Themed mini album on my blog and YouTube channel using the Petals Mini Album tutorial from Your Book of Memories.  The person I made this album for also asked me to make an ocean/mermaid-themed book for her friend.  I used the same Petals Mini Album, and this time, I used the Coral Reef Junk Journal Kit from Imagine the Art Design on Etsy. Since making this album, Imagine the Art Design has come out with 2 new digital collections that would work perfectly with the Coral Reef Junk Journal Kit - the Coral Reef Background Images Kit and the Ocean Beauty Junk Journal Kit.  I will probably get those soon for another album.  LOL     Links to everything I used are at the end of this post.

Hello everyone.  I hope y'all are doing well.  I was asked to make a beach-themed mini album for someone here, and I knew I had to use the new tutorial called Petals from Frances at Your Book of Memories.  I also used the most amazing shabby chic beach-themed papers from Imagine The Art Design on Etsy.  Links to everything I used are at the end of this post. Below is a video walk-through of the album, where I describe everything I did and what I used.  You can also find other mini-album videos on my YouTube Channel - World of Michael Trent . Here are photos of the book: If you watch the video, all the photos will make better sense.  Thanks for stopping by my page today.  I hope you love this album and these papers as much as I do.  If you have any questions, just ask me.  Until next time... Hugs from Brasil. ~Michael Links to everything I talked about in the video: Your Book of Memories Your Book of Memories Petals Mini Album Tutorial Your Bo...

Equality For All | Pride 2025 | Love Knows No Limits

  Hello everyone.  Welcome to Week 3 of my Equality For All Cardmaking Series. Every Friday in May and June, my fellow cardmakers and I are making cards to help celebrate Pride and the LGBT+ community.  If you want more inspiration, check out the  Equality For All Makers Hop on Instagram  we had 2 weeks ago.  All the amazing cards can be seen  in  this  post on my Instagram page.   This week I made an easy rainbow colored card using an old die in my stash - Leafy Sprig Border from Poppy Stamps along with some rainbow colored paper.    Now, to make this card: I made a top-folding A2 card using white cardstock.  I printed one of the watercolor splash papers, die-cut a piece using a 4.25" x 5.5" stitched rectangle die, and adhered it to the card front.   I printed rainbow colored striped paper from the Pride Month Digital Paper Collection (link below).  I added 2" wide double-sided tape to the back and die...
