Graphic 45 Sun Kissed - Suitcase and Album

Hello dear visitors!

I am happy that you wanted to read this post and I am excited to share with all you today's project - a suitcase and album, featuring the Graphic 45 "Sun Kissed" collection.


The ‘Sun Kissed” is fantastic! Beautiful colors and images are so inspiring. I loved the white outline around most of the images, I think this is a new thing which has not been done until now in any other collection.






If you want to watch a video over view of this project, scroll down to the end of this post and search for a You Tube link to the video.















That's all the pictures that I have to show you, and here is a short video:

"Letters of Love" - Mini Album for Fabrika Decoru

Hello dear all!

Today I would like to share with you my project for the "Fabrika Decoru" design team.


It is a 7"x5" album, with the pages created in "cabbage-like" style. That means that you cannot reach the third page, without prior opening the first and second pages.

On the inside front cover of the album there is a box, which holds one more little photo-book.

The album is mostly designed for the 4"X6" and 3.5"X5 " pictures, but there are lots of additional flaps that can accommodate pictures of the smaller size.

The video tutorial for creating this album may be purchased here:






For creating the album I've used the paper collection which is called "Letters of Love".





















Later on I will post a video flip through featuring this album on my You Tube channel. If you don't want to miss it, please subscribe.

Thanks for stopping by and a have a great creative week!

A notebook with a cross-stitched embellishment

Hello dear visitors!

Today I would like to share with you a handmade notebook, which was created from scratch, based on the tutorial which I purchased from Alla Taskaeva, a crafter from Russia (here is the link to her account).


Alla has incredible notebooks and she makes all of them by herself. In the tutorial she explained how to color the pages, how to bind them in a Coptic stitch binding, how to make the cover and how to embellish it.



The notebook comes in an A6 format.

Since the pages were colored, they look "fluffy" once the notebook is open.


I've added a simple bookmark with a metal charm to the spine of the notebook too.



I had to try cross stitching and it was so fun! Will definitely be making more of the cross stitched embellishments (in the tutorial Alla doesn't teach cross-stitching though :)))

The bunny is taken from the free cross-stitch pattern by Maria Brovko.
