Hello everyone!   What a crazy month and a half it's been.  There I was, cutting pieces for my new Double Facing Waterfall Album so that I could make a video tutorial for y'all - when I was commissioned to make 8 mini-albums.  For Christmas gifts.  In the USA.  Being that I am in Brasil, I would have to get them to the USA in time, and I had a lot of work ahead of me.  I basically spent most of November and part of December making each of these albums together with a box for them to be stored in.   I decided to use my new Double Facing Waterfall Album for each of the albums but I did my best to make sure that something in each of the albums was different than the others.  Each album also has a different theme to it.  This was a lot of work but so worth it and so much fun to do.   Here is the first album, which uses the Let's Travel Collection from Carta Bella.  I had a few of the collections left here and used the phy...

  Hello everyone and Happy "Almost" Halloween.  Today I am sharing a mini album I made (my own design) using the Hocus Pocus Collection, which was designed by Steven Duncan for Carta Bella.  I LOVE this paper collection - just so you know.   I made a video walk-through of the album, which is below and also on my YouTube Channel .   Here are some photos of the book and the inside pages.  But to really understand the ins and outs of the book, I suggest that you watch the video.    The Paper I used the Hocus Pocus Collection Kit from Carta Bella to decorate this album.  If you would like to use the same collection, I would first check with your local scrapbook store to see if they have it in stock.  If not, you can find it at the links below - at least at the time this blog post is published.   Echo Park Paper  Frantic Stamper Scrapbook.com The 12x12 Cardstock Shop If you would like the digital version, you can only...

  Hello everyone!  I hope y'all are doing well and staying cool.  Today I am sharing an album I made for a friend in town.  His name is Maik, he's 21, and about to embark on the biggest adventure of his life - working on a cruise ship in Europe for 8 months.   I met Maik at an event at a language school that my friend owns back when he was only 17 or 18 and a student at the school.  I was really impressed with how good his English was considering he had only been learning for about 6 months.  After getting to know him more over the years, he told me that his dream was to travel the world as a flight attendant and he lived and breathed learning English.   He had just gotten his certificate at Flight Attendant School when the pandemic hit and everything changed.  It was impossible to get a job on an airline and when planes began to fly again, they were not really hiring.  But he kept studying and focusing on getting out of this t...
