New Wedding Mini Album

The newest wedding mini album! I wanted to share this with you guys! It was tricky working on it and I always want to OVER embellish but I think this one turned out just right:) This is a 6x7 mini album with a chipboard cover and pocket pages for the base:) So much fun!

Current project - Once Upon a Time baby girl mini album:)

Hey all, Today I wanted to share with you one of my favorite projects I've ever done - my little girl's first year baby album:) I wanted to use a less traditional paper stack for a baby girl album so I used the DCWV Once Upon A Time stack. It's very girly and rich with great colors and beautiful embossed/glittery papers. Absolutely gorgeous! So with a few more traditional baby girl embellishments this mini album turned out exactly as I was hoping:)

The dimensions measure 9 by 5 with a chipboard cover and black paper bags for the base material. It was a very easy, non-fussy binding of two hole punch with thick, stretchy lace that ties to create the binding. It doesn't hold the album together as perfectly as I was hoping (partially because it's a very, very chunky album) but it's still doing the job pretty well so I'm happy!

I hope you guys enjoy and thanks for checking out my album!:)

Top 10 Paper Stacks

Paper, paper, paper everywhere!! There are all types of great scrapbook stacks out there, way too many to count and certainly an endless amount of projects you can make! If you've been scrapbooking a little while you may have honed in on what your style is and if you have you've also probably found a paper brand that you tend to like a bit more then the others.

I've been very lucky to have used and own many paper stacks so I thought it would be a fun idea to share with you my favorites:)!

1. "Once upon a time" by DCWV

I've actually made 2 mini albums out of these papers and they are absolutely gorgeous! These papers feature a lot of rich browns, golds, purples, and of course pink. There are papers that are embossed, glossy, glittery, and textured. It has a very whimsical feel and is easy to embellish. This stack is so much fun to work with! The hardest part is the urge not to cover the paper with photos lol! 

2. "Tattered Time" by DCWV

This is another winner from DCWV. This stack has a very industrial feel while still maintaining beautiful elements. Many of these papers are glossy and embossed giving these papers just the right flair without taking away from the theme of the paper line.

3. "Autumn Song" by Bo Bunny

I recently got finished working on a project with this paper stack and I have to tell you I was really bummed when I completed the album - I just wanted to keep going! We all know that the colors of autumn are absolutely stunning and bo bunny managed to really capture the feel of autumn without using actual pictures but by allowing the colors and patterns speak for themselves. It's definitely a stack that I will be getting again!:)

4. "Romance Novel" by Prima

Can Prima ever go wrong?! Prima has a long history of producing absolutely gorgeous products and this one is no different! This pad adds a nice mixture of vintage and romance. The colors are very vibrant and yet is still has a distressed feel. Very fun paper to play with:) 

5. "Nightfall" by Memory Box

This paper line is pretty dark and I believe was meant to be a halloween paper pad. However you can play with this pad and create beautiful albums that don't center halloween and it would still fit very well:) I honestly can't tell which paper is my favorite from this stack, there are just so many! I very highly recommend this stack if you want something fun and different.

6. "Sun Kissed" by Heartfelt Creations

Heartfelt Creations is another amazing company and I tend to love every product they make! This stack features a lot of bright blues and rich browns that complement each other so well. The designs are just brilliant and you actually get quite a few papers in this pad. Very well worth the money in my opinion!

7. "Botanical Garden" by Graphic 45

I have seen so many mini albums using this paper line and each one is simply stunning. This paper line is incredibly easy to work with because you can add a whole host of different colors to it. The quality is very good and it's even double sided so they make great tags. Beautiful!

8. "Altitude" by Bo Bunny 

In this stacks it seems Bo Bunny took a unique approach to Christmas/winter albums. The colors and detailed designs make for just a gorgeous base to any card or album. It's so fun to play off of the blues and purples in this album to truly make a unique album.

9. "The Chateau Lavender" by DCWV

In true DCWV form this stack features lots of embossed and glittery elements was bring these paper to life. It's extremely easy to match different colors with it. I recently made a family mini album out of this paper and it was just the perfect paper for displaying a wide range of pictures! 

10."Fairy Fiona" by Prima

I mean look at these gorgeous papers... need I say more lol?! Absolutely Stunning!
