Foto Folio Mini

Hello scrappers,


I don't know if you're all like me but I wake up in the mornings thinking
of new ideas for my next project.  It's like a rush, wanting to
work on something, anything because that's what we love to do.
Especially when we are close to a holiday, we try to come up
with a creative way to make something handmade for a loved one.
I just love giving my family members a mini album (sometimes
not so mini lol).  I know they appreciate that I took the time to make
them something they will cherish for many years to come
and fill it up with memories they have enjoyed throughout their lives.

So, we are close to Christmas and we must hurry if we are
to make those mini albums for a special someone.  Today I'm sharing
with you a mini album which the famous Kathy Orta from Paper Phenomenon
has inspired me to create.  Kathy has a tutorial for Foto Folio Mini's, I must say I 
purchased it and I love it.  My foto folio mini is much smaller than Kathy's and 
the layout inside is different but more or less it's the same concept.
You can always mix and match flaps and pockets to your own liking.
This mini album holds up to 42 photos but you can always 
add more mats on the pockets for more pics.

Here are some pics and my YouTube video.














I hope you have enjoyed my foto folio mini, please be sure to check out Kathy's website Paper Phenomenon to pick up her Foto Folio Mini's tutorial.

Until next time,
Ana

Foto Folio 3

Hi fellow scrappers,

I'm sharing today one of Kathy Orta's tutorial called Foto Folio's.  The
folio I made is Foto Folio #3, side loading envelope style.  I have to
say that I love Kathy's projects and these folio's are so 
easy to make.  Kathy encourages you to mix and match different inserts 
to create a different look and in my video you will see that I added to this folio 
other flaps and pockets.

My paper choice were Simple Stories "The Story of Us" and I also
used papers from My Mind's Eye.
The papers from Simple Stories is a wedding collection and I loved the colors
and designs for my photos.  To replace some wedding phrases on some
of the journaling cards I simply cut out strips of paper and glued them
on top and added some other word stickers over them.


















Here is my YouTube video which takes you through my pages.



Kathy's tutorial has six different Foto Folio's you can make including a storage box.
Here is the link where you can purchase it,

I hope you have enjoy another of my projects, I sure enjoyed matting and
arranging different inserts into this album.

Please leave some comments,

Until next time,
Ana
