KCS Designs by Kim Design Team Project | Polk-a-Dot Mini Album | Your Book of Memories

-

Hello everyone.  I hope y'all are doing well. 

Today I am sharing an album I made using the Polk-a-Dot Mini Album Tutorial from Your Book of Memories (YBOM).  Frances, the brains behind YBOM, is offering this tutorial for FREE on her website.  If you have never made or are curious about how to make an album, follow the tutorial.  Frances walks you through everything you need to know - what supplies you will need, how to cut and score the cardstock, and how to put this together.  

She is offering a 25% discount on your first month's subscription.  Just use the code ALL4ME2C at checkout.  

All the papers I used in this album are digital junk journal kits from KCS Designs by Kim on Etsy.  I used 4 different papers:

KCS Designs by Kim is having a big SUMMER SALE and EVERYTHING in her Etsy store is on sale for 45% off through July 31, 2025 - NO COUPON NEEDED.


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.


Below are photos of the book but if you watch the video, above, the photos will make more sense as to how I did certain things and where they are in the book.













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.  Until next time...

Hugs from Brasil.

Introducing Bella Bulb - A Member Of Craft Hoarder's Anonymous

When I was first approached to be part of the StencilGirl/Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog hop, I just laughed out loud!  Me?  A craft hoarder?  Duh!  Not only have I been hoarding craft supplies for over 20 years but when I moved here to Brasil from New York City, I took it all with me.  And then I started to hoard Brasilian craft supplies. Okay, I admit it - I AM A CRAFT HOARDER!     For this blog hop, the artists had only two rules - use StencilGirl stencils and then to dig through our craft hoard and use whatever we wanted to use.  I grabbed stencils (duh) sprays, pastes, paints, makeup sponges, lots and lots of BLING, you name it.  Heck, I even grabbed my bag of keyboard letters and some fake eyelashes that were in the hoard.  Told ya, I am a craft hoarder. There is something very freeing about just using stuff from my hoard and making a piece of art.  I did not do much thinking here.  I did know what st...

**Blog Candy Update!!  -  I have a few more items to my Blog Candy -  A 6x6 StencilGirl Stencil called  Bird In Window by Pam Carriker, a box of Brasilian chocolates, a Brasilian Scrapbooking magazine called Guia do Scrapbooking, which means Guide to Scrapbooking.  It's in portuguese but you can get great ideas with the pictures and layouts they give.   And I have added a 6" x 6" Gelli Arts Gel Printing Plate!!!  --------------------------------------------- Hello everyone!  My first Blog Candy post!!  Long story short - in November, when StencilGirl had their big Black Friday sale, I placed an order.  Due to a glitch in their system (but in our favor) the same order was shipped to me - twice.  Since I did not pay for one of the orders, I emailed John at StencilGirl and he told me to keep them and offer them up as blog candy at a later date.  Hence....this BLOG CANDY post!!  All you have to do i...

Do You "STENDOODLE"?

A Bunch of Stendoodled Pieces I Made Have you ever gotten an idea and thought that it was going to be the next amazing thing in the paper crafting world?  The one no one else has ever thought of?  Well this happened on my recent trip back home to NYC.  I was not able to bring a lot of art materials home with me but I was able to squeeze into my luggage my tombow markers, some permanent markers, a bunch of stencils, and a Zentangle book.  I have always loved the look of Zentangling and I was determined to finish a full project by the end of this trip.   One night I traced the outline of the Blazonry stencil on some watercolor paper and then sat - for hours - trying to make many of the Zentangle designs in the book.  It did not look great.  It didn't even really look good.  I realized that this Zentangling was not as easy as it looked and that it probably takes a lot more practice than I was willing to give it on this trip.    ...
