Instructions:

The 8 X 8 Insta-Album has all paper sizes on the pages for you so cut all the coordinating paper for the entire album.  Before gluing any paper in, glue all the magnets to designated spots and also decide where you want pockets to be so that you can cut the slots in the paper before gluing to the book. If you decide later that you want a pocket where you have already glued your paper you can still do it, it’s just much harder as you will have to use a blade to cut just the paper not the page where the pocket will go.  The pockets on these new dies have different slot opening shapes you can choose which is fun but just remember if you will be taking photos all the way in and out it might be best to just use the straight edge so that nothing gets bent putting it back in over and over.  The mats and pockets are all cut with kraft and pink cardstock.

The cover: Glue Tulip decorative paper down and cut kraft Lacy Diamond, pink eyelet diamond and photo with Basics Diamond.  Cut the Elegant Pocket Accents using kraft and pink background for top and bottom for the left side.  Also cut a piece of Jute/pearl trim to size.  For the right side of cover cut another piece of trim and 2 corners from the Elegant Pocket Accents from kraft  with pink background.  Stamp and color a pot and Tulips as well (stamp using Desert Sand and color with Copic Markers).  Pop up the pot and flowers.

Inside Cover, left side has the small pocket (Regal Pocket Accents) with the ornate topper cut from kraft.  Mat photo with pink and kraft. Open the flap just decorated and cut the Fanci-Fold pocket for the bottom panel, cut 2 corners for the top panel and mat a 4 X 6 photo with coordinating paper.  Cut 4 tags for the pocket on the bottom panel  and stamp them using Vibrant Fuchsia with the Today’s Quotes, add ribbon.  On the other side, right of Fanci-Fold pocket panel, Cut an Ornate Pocket Accent out of dark pink paper or coordinating paper, cut a kraft top trim.  Mat photo with kraft. This is all that is shown in photos but there are more panels so keep adding photos and decorative additions to each panel and flap on the left side of Insta-Album.

On the right side of album, top open page-Cut Regal frame out of kraft and back with pink. Cut photo to fit inside.  Open, decorate the other side top flap with the Adorn It, lift flap and decorate inside with a journaling panel and another photo with the bucket of tulips stamped, colored and die cut to embellish the photo. Move over to the right side [of the right side of album] and cut a kraft eyelet heart, pink heart and photo heart then stamp, color and die cut a bouquet of tulips to embellish photo.  Open up again where magnet has pages shut and decorate both left and right panels showing. Left side has an Eyelet Oval cut from kraft with the inside part of the Intricate Swirl Frame cut out of pink over the photo of tulips.  Open the flap and decorate with a sentiment, the inside part of the Regal Frame and a butterfly layered stamped on vellum, embossed with gold and colored on the wrong side with the darker pinks of the Copic markers.  Sentiment is stamped with Morocco on pink cardstock. The bottom part of this left side is another tulip photo matted with pink in the smaller pocket (Regal Pockets), 2 corners from Elegant Pocket Accents and the slot cut out from the larger Pocket (Adorn It Pocket).   On the right, fold all the way out flat, 2 narrow panels, both have the windmill photos embellished by the Fence stamped on kraft and the Tulip Cart stamped on white then colored and die cut along with the row of tulips from the Tulip Cart and Fence set.  One of the windmills is framed with the Hand-Stitched Accents.  Moving on to the left part of this fold out, cut 2 of the Adorn It Pocket Accents, 1 for the bottom flap and 1 for the top.  Mat a photo to slid into the pocket on the bottom flap (the top Adorn It is not made to be a pocket, just decoration.  Open these flaps to reveal the inside which is decorated with more photos.  The bottom inside uses the Eyelet Hearts and Basic Hearts to cut the photos, mats and embellishments.  This is all of the album photographed…There are extra sides to decorate on this side as well.  This 8 X 8 book hold a lot of decorations and photos…I love it for an all-in-one scrapbook.  Perfect for a special occasion or trip.

To finish this album, Add fibers, tags and beads to the bindings.
Thanks for visiting today!

For more tips on creating with the flower shaping molds, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/FSdPL7nXvQE.

Instructions:

12 X 12”  Paint all edges of book and pages  and film strips with white acrylic.  Cover front and sides and pages with decorative Lilac paper.  Ink edges with purple ink.  Die cut Black Friday Release dies (several of each) from white card stock (some will be used inside).  Die cut 4 Sweetheart Borders, 1 bird cage and 4 corners from Petite Pocket Accents for the cover.  Glue corners to the 4 corners (while closed), Glue six 1 1/2” square photos to the back side of small film strip, glue 2 Sweetheart Borders to right side and then glue the strip to left side of cover (about 3” from left edge).  Glue the other 2 Sweetheart Borders to the right side of cover between corners.

Stamp, die cut and sponge Lilac Flowers, leaves, scroll, and birds (birds are colored with Copic Markers).  Arrange a “swirled” arrangement of the scroll and lilac flowers up left side of cover, add leaves as needed.  Add Prills to centers of flowers and glitter to petals.  Extend swirl with the pearl swirls.  Add a bow to top of scroll.  Glue flowers, leaves and birds (birds are popped up) to right top of cover and add a bow.  Add pearl swirls starting at the bottom of right side and moving up 2/3 of cover.   Use foam tape or some other pop up to pop cage up actually bowing it slightly by bring edges closer together than intended.  Add a line of pearls top and bottom.   Glue closure to left and right side and glue clipped brads to holes to look like nails.  Tie a ribbon around binding at left side and add a tag plus charms (or beads if desired).

Inside left side and bottom right side:  Die cut (2 together) large Ornate Pockets to form a square in the center for a photo (approximately 3 1/4" square).  Cut 2 of the straight pierced corner pieces to border photo.  Die cut Decorative Pockets and Elegant Pockets  (Elegant Pockets for when flap is closed, Decorative Pocket for tags when flap is open. (because my paper was already on my album, I used an Exacto knife to create and opening for the tags being careful not to press too hard so as not to go through album but just through the paper.  When flap is closed, glue a plain white mat for photo and glue Elegant dies top and bottom.
There are a lot more pages, flaps and pockets but space and time do not allow for all the be seen and told about here.  Check out Emma Lou's video on these albums on line today, Black Friday.

 Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You.

Heartfelt- Special Black Friday Debut

Good morning everyone!

Happy Black Friday!

Today is the day we've all been looking forward to and I can't wait to show you what I've been up to for Heartfelt Creations!

It was my pleasure to do this wonderful new album

to showcase not only the beautiful album but also the 

fantastic new flower molds Heartfelt Creations now has available.

I was able to use the Floral Basics Shaping Mold on most of the flowers in this book and the Rose Flower Mold for others.

I have a project coming up where I use the Poinsettia Flower Mold and boy is that fantastic!

This book is all about a particular backpacking trip my husband Andy and I took.
We have gone hiking and backpacking for most of our vacations over the last 35 years

Tag journaling: At 8,600 foot elevation, Tuolumne Meadows is the gateway to the Yosemite High Sierra.  It is a stunning wilderness of flowery meadows, snowcapped peaks and oceans of sparkling granite. A great place to cool off escaping the valley heat in summer.  We intentionally live near one of the great wonders of the world, Yosemite.  Everyone has their own special desires of what they want to do and where they want to go, this is our special place.  We often start our back-country adventures from this place called Tuolumne Meadows High Sierra Camp.

Journaling says: Some look for gold but we look for the jewels of the Sierra-wildflowers! Rivers that turn to liquid gold as the sun starts to set and the alpine glow begins.  Every mountain top is aflame with super-natural light during this time of day.

Journaling say:(page 4 top) Casting off a sandy bar with the lodge pole pine forest behind and towering above that the snow covered granite peaks of Cathedral. (page 4 bottom) Tuolumne River sending swiftly flowing snow melt down to pools of ice cold water, a trout's heaven and a trout fisherman's delight! Timber forest open to a snow covered Cathedral Peak.  The fish are not hungry, shy to the lure splash they "run" to hide, move along, try some place else.  Who is persistent? A fisherman, focus and determination in motion...a duck could waddle past and who would notice? A bear could come to see and who would know? What a joy it is when my only concern is "what gear to use", be gentle, catch and release.

(page 5) A voice calls out, "Let's get going", it startles, oh yes, we were on a hike to where?

Journaling says: 

Finally on the trail, with every step we leave the cares of life behind us, our

 eyes and ears, our senses  begin to open and receive the beauty of the Lord

 in this place.

 A Kelty backpack, who knew it could be a trade up for a set of golf clubs, she

 hates golf, and I was clueless.   30 plus years of backpacking with a Kelty and

 Robin-priceless!

 Time is non-existent for a few days, rested, anxious, and ready.

 Fresh on the trail from Soda Springs in Tuolumne Meadows, we are on our way

 to Glen Aulin, a flowing  moving active force of water powered by plunging through

 the Tuolumne River Canyon, cascades and  waterfalls all along the way.

 No phone, no regular worldly cares, concerns or responsibilities.  Now it is the

 pleasure of the company with no distractions.  It’s the feeling of the wind, the

 scent of the mountains and trees, the sparkling of towering white granite bluffs

 and domes, the treasure of the jewels of the Sierra, wildflowers.

 How good it is the have a like-minded companion to share such a precious time

 and place. Years later with reflection, it is even more wonderful!

Journaling:  

Rivers form from High Country glacial lakes Like Mt. Dana and Mt. Lyell, they flow down-hill into this river called Tuolumne in Tuolumne Meadows, we follow the river down the” Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne” as it cascades and falls.  In one place the force of the water creates a most spectacular event (usually only in early spring) called “The Water Wheels”.  The water cascades over rocks with so much force that it creates actual “wheels” of water when it hits some particular rocks in the cascade.  We usually hike there after resting in Glen Aulin, (where our favorite waterfall of the High Country is found).  This photo is at our resting place on the way down to Glen Aulin, it is flat area and a very good place for fishing, taking off boots and refreshing our feet in the ice cold water.

 “The mighty Sierra, miles in height…so gloriously colored and so radiant, it seemed not clothed with light but wholly composed of it, like the wall of some celestial city…Then it seemed to me that the Sierra should be called, not the Nevada or Snowy Range, but the Range of Light.” John Muir

Journaling: (page 10 top) Tuolumne River cascades down the river gorge.

(page 10 bottom) 

The excitement and thrill of the ascent, rough going at times as there

is no trail, but exhilarating all the same and then the exultation of

the view from the top, so many smiles to What is a smile but the

outward showing of the joy inside of us.  We are tired from the climb

but so happy to be at the top. 

Life can be a balancing act, God can tilt it in your favor, GO!

(Page 11) 

A place that warms our soul, the higher we go in elevation

the happier we get or is it the lack of oxygen?  I’m sure it

 is this special place!

We were there!

Each page has a scripture printed on the paper.

Journaling: (page 14 top) 

Do you want to see greatness and power in motion, stand at

the base of a waterfall, feel and see it!

(Page 15 top) 

Life can wear you down, cause soreness and even blisters, what is more pleasant and refreshing

 than to stop, take off those boots and feel the coolness of flowing mountain water, wiggle the

 toes, let the pebbles of river rock message your feet and be refreshed.

 High on the rocky slopes the snow melts, trickles, gathers together and begins to flow

 making a creek and then a river.  The earth comes alive as it passes down through canyons,

 gorges and meadows then here we are, we are in it, a part of it.

Journaling: 

Lounging on a natural rock “chair”

 at the base of a 500’ cascading river,

 mist is floating on the air and at

 the base of this cascade is a deep

 swirling emerald pool of water…

totally irresistible.

Instructions:

Approx. 9” X 8” 3 ring binder Journal Album.  Cover:  8” X 8 ½ piece of Flowering Dogwood trimmed at the bottom with the Sweetheart Border Die.  Under the die cut is a strip of light pink decorative paper.  Photo is framed with Flowering Dogwood paper and blue card stock.  Scripture panel comes from the Daily Blessings Journal pages.  Add flowers formed with the 3-D molds and stylist and filled with Prills or Pearl stamen.  Finish with rhinestone flourishes.  Finish spine with ribbon and tags from the Flowering Dogwood and Birds and Blooms.

Cover inside front and back with Classic Petunia Paper and Border Essentials die cuts.  Stamp Today’s Quotes with Wilted Violet Distress Ink  on Classic Petunia Paper and cut with Circles die then mat with white using the circle dies.  Cut a panel from the Classic Petunia paper and a little tag then attach the little tag with ribbon.  I did my journaling on the computer and printed on transparency.  Back inside in made the same way using the oval dies for sentiment instead of the circles.

Pages:  After matting and applying photos to chosen pages (some are tucked under designs in paper using an X-Acto knife to make slits) I glued paged back to back because I decided not to use the plain lined sides (except page 1).  That also helped to hide my slits in paper where I tucked photos in.  I then chose flowers, birds, animals and borders to decorate each page.  After decorating each page and using the molds for flowers making it quick and easy, I added my journaling to each page.
