Mini Accordion Album

Hello, crafty friends!

Today, I am sharing a super cute project made using the bottom part of a 12x12 scrapbook paper. The sheet is called Happy Place Paper which is from the Crate Paper Sunny Days collection by Maggie Holmes.

I originally was going to cut the tags individually and make a tag flip, but my brain wanted to make something else. LOL! I scored between the tags and created accordion folds. I knew that I wanted to use the yellow tag with the hotel as my cover since this will be a mini album for a staycation that my family and I took last summer.

We stayed at the Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point, California. For this album, I printed out digital elements from AC Digitals and fussy cut them. I added a lot of butterflies, of course. Please note that some of the photos I added to this album are stock photos from the hotel's website.

I just love how chunky it turned out and the colors make me so happy. To keep the album closed, I wrapped pink seam binding around and tied into a bow.

Here is the back of the album. How perfect is the little cutout with the word Monarch?!

Here's the album when unfolded:

There was this cute little car in the hotel's private beach parking lot. I wished I had my DSLR that weekend. I took this photo with my iPhone.

The next 2 photos were taken from the hotel's website.

Here is an iPhone photo of Monarch's private beach. My family and I enjoyed the water and played volleyball in the sand. We mostly chased after the ball.

Here is the other side of the album. These 3 photos were printed out from the internet - aerial photo of the private beach, what our room looked like, and the family pool. We did a lot of swimming that weekend and overall, enjoyed our mini staycation.

Here are the cutouts that I clipped onto one of the tags with a gold paper clip.

I hope you enjoyed today's colorful project!

Pretty Pink Posh February 2023 Release Blog Hop

Hello friends! Welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh February 2023 Release Blog Hop and happy 9th birthday, PPP! Today, I’m sharing a birthday card and a gift card holder that I made using dies and stencils from the new Birthday Release. For my card, I started with an A2-sized white cardstock that I ink blended with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Ink. I sprayed some water for an oxidized effect and also splattered some white ink on it. I then took a scrap of white cardstock and used finger daubers to ink blend Distress Oxide Inks in rainbow colors. I used Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Lucky Clover, Salty Ocean, and Wilted Violet. I sprayed water, splattered white ink, and cut the rainbow colored panel with the WISH die. I also cut the flame from the Birthday Mug Addition Dies and ink blended it with Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink. Next, I stamped the sentiments with black ink then foam mounted WISH and the flame on the card panel. I also added some pearls for inter

Pretty Pink Posh March 2023 Release Blog Hop

Hello friends! Welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh February 2023 Release Blog Hop! For my card, I started with a 4.5” square white cardstock and I ink blended through the Layered Carrots Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks. Layer A: Dried Marigold Layer B: Spiced Marmalade Layer C: Twisted Citron I then matted this stenciled panel on a 5” square cardstock that I ink blended with Spiced Marmalade. For added interest, I sprayed this larger panel with water that has a bit of white ink. Next, I cut the dies from the Winter Mug Dies and the new Easter Mug Additions Dies in white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers and Distress Oxide Inks. The blue bunny mug also got a print from the Mini Grid Stencil . Before foam mounting the mug, I placed a sheet of vellum to soften the carrot background and I also stamped the sentiment onto the vellum with Stazon ink. Here are the Copic markers I used for the mini eggs: BG70, R00, V000, Y11, YG61, YR000 I embellished the card with Pi
