Perpetual Calendar Card Keeper - G45 Fashion Forward - Detail Photos & Tutorial Video

Welcome to the Perpetual Calendar Card Keeper detail post with lots of photos and a tutorial video!

My, that turned out to be a long welcome sentence....

Being as this project is pretty simple as all the pages are exactly the same except for the beautiful paper for each page spread, the only purpose to showing you all of the pages in the 'Keeper' is to once again showcase the beautiful G45 paper.

Each photo is pretty self explanatory, and I don't even have to tell what month the page is for!

Here we go.

Below you will see a couple of pages where the tag is pulled out, and where the envelope flap is open ready to receive the cards with accompanying envelopes. These envelopes are 8 3/4"W x 5 3/4 "H, so A7 and A2 cards with their envelopes will fit in them.

If you need more writing space on these tags, just add some cream or white cardstock on the back of the tag to continue your list.

So, here is the video tutorial to go with your instructions.

I hope you got a few laughs at my mistakes when rambling. Most of all I hope that you enjoy making this project.

Happy Album Making!

Perpetual Calendar Card Keeper - G45 Fashion Forward

Hello Everyone! Welcome!

Posting another kit for Scrapbook Parade. This is not a card kit, however. But the project is basic and easy to put together. It will make a great Christmas gift too! There are written instructions as well as a "How To" cut and assemble video. 

Here are just a couple of photos of the outside of the album. It is very basic leaving it up to you to embellish how you wish.

Here is the 'keeper' fanned open.

I just love the beautiful colours and patterns of this paper. I will post photos of all the pages in the post that has the video tutorial for those that will be making this kit. 

If you are interested in purchasing this kit, please let Carol know at Scrapbook Parade. She has shipped some of the kits I have designed from Victoria, BC to PEI, the States, and to France!

This is the Facebook blurb for the project kit.

Fashion Forward Perpetual Calendar Card Keeper designed by Sabrina.

If you created her G45 Fashion Forward card kits this keeper is a great compliment for them. Load up with cards for the year and be ready for any occasion.

She left the cover blank so you can decorate it yourself and will get cut-a-parts etc to do that. Everything is included to create this beautiful album that measure 9" wide by 6" tall. She's also created a "how to" YouTube video to help you with the construction.

Kit Cost $45.00

Thanks for looking!

I look forward to seeing or hearing how your 'Keeper' turned out.

Happy Album Making!

Retreat Project Share #2 - Authentique "Meadow"

At the retreat we had a mobile store were we could shop for things that we may have forgotten to bring with us, or see the latest and new. When I saw the new release of the Authentique "Meadow" collection, I just had to get some. I love the Swiss Heidi and Peter themed paper! I bought a bunch of it, going over my planned budget. Paper is one of my weaknesses.

Any way, I decided to make a little 6 x 6 mini album to place photos of the retreat into. This is my quick and easy little album. No photos have been placed in it as of yet, but perhaps I will take photos of the project when the photos are in it, so that you can see that too.

Let's begin...

I created a magnetic closure that looks like a belt without the holes punched into it.

The flap that opens up, is where I plan to journal about the photos that will be placed onto the spread.

As you can see, the centre has two flaps, so I can write a bit more, or add more little photos.

And, the back is the same as the front.

This did not take long to put together, and was a lot of fine. I love to create albums, but do not often get the chance to make them. Hope you are inspired to create a little mini album of your own, or at least something with this sweet paper collection!

Happy creating!

A Gift For Eva - G45 Vintage Hollywood

When I saw the Graphic 45 'Vintage Hollywood' collection months ago, I knew immediately that I could use this beautifully designed paper to create something for my daughter, Eva. She loves to create in a different way than I do. Her creativity is with hair and make up. Having been a beautician, hairdresser, beauty school instructor & manager, including an interest in fashion and costumes with a background in musical theater, she has many photos that she could put into the mini album with the Vintage Hollywood theme. This paper collection is so her.

When it comes to mini albums, with all the pockets, mats, and tags, showing it to you by video is much easier than taking a ton of photos. I completed this mini album about two months ago, but never got the video edited (minus music) till now. Enjoy the 12 minute video.

The album measures 7" x 9" x 1 3/4".

In the video I refer to Claire, but don't mention her site. I am referring to Claire from "My Creative Spirit"

Below are photos of the main pages as you turn the pages, without the additional photos of flipping this, and pulling out that.

As this project is a gift, and not a class project, there are no tutorials or written instructions for it. However, you are free to case any ideas of this project for your own version of this mini album.

Thank you for stopping by today, and hope you enjoyed the video and are inspired to create your own lovely album.

Happy creating!
