Absolutely Alluring Albums with Graphic 45
Today, we have gorgeous albums to share with you! Nadya Lifa shares a perfect Once Upon a Springtime mini. Then, Yumi Muraeda shares an incredible Artisan Style sketchbook album with a great tutorial! Let's join in the fun.
First, Nadya absolutely wows with this fabric and paper masterpiece album using Once Upon a Springtime. What a revelation!
"This paper collection is a great inspiration! Only the fairies, flowers, magic! How cool these paper parts are combined with lace and ribbons! I made an album on kraft paper, pages in the album - a double. This page allows you to decorate 2 sides - inside and outside and offers space for additional photos. I used the Graphic 45 Precious Memories Ephemera Cards to be able to write a lot of journaling. As such, even a mini-album, it becomes very voluminous and spacious!" ~Nadya

Yumi's sketch book album is really nice.

I don't think I could pick a favorite between these two projects. I love mini albums and this one is adorable and the sketchbook is fabulous and such a great idea!

the first album is so frilly and girly.
the second is so masculine.
Both are wonderful.
thanks for sharing.

I love making mini albums and it is usually my first thought when I see a beautiful collection. Thanks for sharing.

Just gorgeous. I've just recently acquired the mini album addiction and discovered Graphic 45! So far I've collected Botanical Tea, but have my eye on several other collections. Love your collections!!!

Time to Flourish is so pretty - I'd make cards and memory books with lots of lace and ribbon
Posted by: Jo | May 28, 2015 at 12:42 PM
Two very different styles. I received an album made especially for my birthday this year. It is absolutely stunning & my most treasured gift ever!
Posted by: Caroline | May 28, 2015 at 01:05 PM
These albums are amazing! I don't make a lot of albums, but I would definitely use the Steampunk Spells for cards.

Nadya's mini with the lace is so delicate and pretty.
Yumi's monthly idea album is wonderful. So creative.

Love this contest. I would love to make cards with Time to Flourish.

Beautiful work on each mini album. Albums are a bit more time consuming but so worth the effort. It's one of the best ways to use G45 paper collections.

Wow, wow! I'm speechless. Beautiful projects.
