“I’m so excited to share my latest creation using Graphic 45’s vibrant Seas the Day paper collection — a pocket mini album I designed and handcrafted especially for my niece, Lexi.
This album is a tropical escape brought to life through layers of playful turtles, vibrant coral reefs, and shimmering waves in hues of turquoise, violet, coral, and sunshine yellow. I created each pocket to hold photos and journaling cards that capture Lexi’s love of the water and her sunny spirit on vacation in Cancun, Mexico.
Every detail, from the adorable embellishments on the dimensional cover, was made with love. What makes this album even more special is the collection of candid moments tucked inside — memories of Lexi enjoying a beautiful day by the water, splashing in the pool with me, and spending time walking the beach with her cousins. I wanted each flip and pocket to feel like uncovering a new ocean treasure.
Whether you’re a fellow paper crafter or just love mini albums with heart, I hope this project inspires you to dive into your creativity and “seas the day” with joy.
Thanks for stopping by, and don’t forget to scroll down to see all the colorful pages and hidden pockets!” ~Creatively Michelle
