Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and rang in the New Year happily! Today, I’m here to show you my first project of 2025 – an album I made with the Curiouser & Curiouser Collection and the new Square Tag and Pocket Wrap-Around Album. I just love the way it turned out!

To create this album, I used almost the entire 12×12 Collection Pack (I only had 2 sheets of paper left). I started this album by choosing which paper I wanted to use for the cover and inside pages. It was important to me that each pattern be showcased within the album itself. There are so many fun patterns – they all had to be seen! Since all the pages are the same size in this album, creating it was easy (you will need 16 pieces cut to 5 ¼” x 5 ¼”)! Any leftover paper I used to decorate the individual pages.
Next, I decorated the pocket pages and tags. I just love that the tags are included in the album! Again, creating the pocket pages was easy since they were all the same size (you will need 8 pieces cut to 5 ¼” x 3 1/8” and 8 pieces cut to 5 ¼” x 2”). Once all that was cut, I used the corresponding Square Tag and Clock Dies to cut the patterned paper for the tags. This die makes a precise and seamless cut to match the tags perfectly that I love using these for all my Graphic 45 albums! To finish the tags off, I added some ribbon from my stash and a key charm from the Antique Brass Ornate Metal Keys set. Don’t those match the Alice theme perfectly?
Finally, it was time to embellish! I used the Sticker Set and Ephemera Set throughout the album, adding in strips of leftover patterned paper to make the stickers pop where needed.
I really loved creating this album with the Curiouser & Curiouser Collection and have a few more ideas planned for it! What do you plan to create with this collection?
