Sun Kissed Album
“I like creating Nautical albums, I can never get tired of making them. Though there are almost the same – the Sea, sailing. sand, sun, however, you can do so many various things with these.
So you might imagine what a fun I had while creating the album using the new Sun Kissed collection full of the Sun and the Sea.
I used Staples Rectangle Tag & Pocket Album, so perfect to keep your memories in one place
I filled it with the die cuts, fussy cut images and almost missed the paper layers this time.
Ok, let have a look through it.
I combined the bright papers with the die cuts I made form the metallic pearlescent cardstock, I think it allows to make bold accents.
I also filled it with the fussy cut images, I like that there are florals in this collection too. They remind me the summer exactly.
Some of the pages I l kept almost covered only with the cardstock, and some I have decorated with small pieces.
I made some busy pages too.
I like adding them to my albums.
I‘ve added many die cuts from the banners pack.
And I also used the Ephemera Cards for my embellishments as well as for the pocket cards.
I’ve added the tag from ATC pack.
This Staples Album has the Tags inside the pages, so I decided to decorate them too.
You can check my video tutorial here:
Sun Kissed Tags Tutorial for Sun Kissed Album, Graphic 45
My tip for you is when you create the album, start embellishing the Tags after you have finished the full album and you have enough leftovers and scraps – so that you can use the small and tiny pieces, as they can be very attractive for this purpose.
You can check the full album tour too.” ~Elena

Little Women Box and Album
By Sandy Trefger
“The novel Little Women by Louisa May Alcott is an inspiring story loved by many for generations. And now we have the Little Women collection by Graphic 45 with it’s wonderful, vintage style that will be used for many paper craft projects. When I received this amazing set, I immediately was inspired to create a beautiful box and album using bits of lace, buttons, ribbons and pretty trims. The premade box and album by Graphic 45 makes it so easy to jump right in and quickly complete this project.”
