Sawyer & Dawson's Mini Album

I have another mini album to share!!

I made this one back in March, but I am late in sharing ( as usual) I really need it to be fall so I can have internet....no internet at camp.

I created this mini album with the March SCT Sampler.

I vowed to use up this sampler each month as I receive them...again I am behind, teehee.

I made this album for my grandson's as they love to look at photos of themselves. 

I kept it simple as I wanted the boys to look at it without ripping off the flaps or losing any tags, lol.

You can see I used prong fasteners to put this album together.

I had these on hand as I used to do the book work for the family business and this is how I kept the invoices together....now that I'm retired, I found another use for them 😉

I also purchased some book binding tape to attach the binding together.

I also made a video of the completed mini album.

If you would rather watch it on my YouTube channel..just click on the link 😁

"Sawyer & Dawson's Mini Album"

I really hope you all are having a wonderful summer (if it is summer where you are) and are keeping safe and well ❤️❤️

We have a lot of wild fires around here and the smoke and haze in the air is a bit scary...I feel for all of those close to the fires..take care ❤️❤️

Love You & Me mini album

I have been enjoying the summer at camp!

Our summers are short here in Canada (Northern Ontario) so I make the most of them by being outside as much as I can....which means my craft suffers.

But we have a very long cold winter here...so outside I will stay until I hibernate for the winter.

With that being said, I am going to share with you a project I made in February.

I have a yearly subscription with Scrapbook & Cards Today for their SCT Sampler.

I have been getting them since they started in January 2018...but I really haven't been using them.

This year my friend Deborah and I made a pact with each other to use each Sample as they came...we are a few months behind 😳

We made a mini album with the February's sampler.

Here is the one I made.

I made it for my youngest daughter Kristy and her boyfriend.

I also did a video explaining (not very good I might add) on how I constructed this mini.

I have been getting requests to do a tutorial on this mini....so that is in the far off future, lol

I hope you enjoyed my mini album.

Tracy ❤️❤️❤️

"Love" file folder mini

I love mini albums!!!
I love to make them, I love to look through them and I especially love if they are interactive!
I really love this one as it is made with file folders...yup regular ol' office file folders!
Can you tell how much I love this little mini!!

This one I used a lot of my Heidi Swapp papers from one of her older collection.

Here is the inside of the first page.
I put a tuck spot and a pocket on the inside cover page.
The "enjoy Every day" card is actually a flip!

The first page is an accordion flip page...so much fun!
I added a corner pocket in the center flip and a long tag to the pocket on the last flip.
The banner on the inside of the back cover is punched out with a tiny punch.
I added a tuck pocket to the bottom of the page.

Ohhh but just wait!!!!!
There is another side to that accordion fold.
I added another bottom tuck pocket to the accordion fold and also a flip up with a journal card.

See how fun this mini album is!

I also made a flip through video on this mini.

Check it out on my YouTube Channel.

I have to give credit to Virginia Nebel as I got the inspiration from her and here is her instructions.

Pyramid Mini Album Tutorial

I have been having fun making these Pyramid Mini Albums.
They are quick and so much fun. 


























Every Friday Night, I have my friends over for Scrapbooking.
With Social Distancing we have been posting a lot on our private FaceBook group (we started our own group a while ago, as not everyone gets our humour, lol). 
Because we couldn't get together, I decided to make a video tutorial on how I made these Pyramid Mini Albums. This way we could all craft on the same project, even though we can't create together.

I am so happy and excited that some of my friends have made them!!

I am going to share the tutorial here as well, so you can make them too.


If you do I would love to see them.
Post them on your blog and then let me know on here or on my YouTube channel, so I can see what you did!

I hope you all are safe and have a creative day 💕

Gingerbread House Mini Album

I can't believe it has almost been a YEAR since I last posted!!
WOW!
But I am back!!

I have been creating still, just haven't really been sharing on my social media sites.
2020 has me making creative goals and getting back to my blog and Youtube are part of that!

To start off the New Year I have a fun little project to share with you all.
A Gingerbread House Mini Album.

The papers and embellishments are from my December SCT Sampler Kit.
The album base was inspired by a kit a friend purchased from The Scrapbook Cottage when we were at the Crop & Create event.

I love flips and little tucks in mini albums...so interactive!

These papers are so cute and they are a perfect fit with my 2 adorable grandsons 💕

I love this photo of the boys with Santa...the little one (Dawson) was not happy when his daddy walked away, lol.

The "doors" as my grandson Sawyer calls them, opens up to reveal another cute photo of them 💕

I love how Sawyer is so overly happy and Dawson is looking at him like give it a break big brother, teehee.

I left this one blank to add a big photo or a few smaller ones.

And the pocket has tags that were in the SCT Sampler, I just added the twine.

I know, I know, I haven't put all of the photos in this mini...but if I waited until I did to post it, you may never see it, lol.

I also did a flip through video of this mini.
I plan to do a tutorial on how to make this type of mini very soon.


I wish you all the best in 2020 with lots of family time, love and creating.

Thank you all for visiting me today.
I hope you all have a very Creative Day

Tracy 💗💗💗

December Daily

Wow, it is December already…where has the year disappeared to?!
But with it being December….that means I can share my Christmas projects now :)

This is the album I am using for my December Daily this year.
I purchased this kit from the Crop & Create event last year…but didn't get to putting it together until this year.
My SIL Sharon and I both purchased this kit and put it together on the Girl's May long weekend :)

I think this album was meant to document the days up to Christmas, I made mine go till the end of the month as we celebrate right up till then :)

Here is a video showing the pages of this mini album as well as my December Dailies from the past :)

Onto My Day:
Today I went to my friend Myra's and we made our chocolate turtles.
So yummy :)
Kristy has been bugging me to put our Christmas tree up, but I don't like it up until at least the 12th.
So I gave her a mini tree to put up in her room.
She ended up putting it down in our reading area :)

I hope you all have a very Creative Day :)

A crop Layout

Here is a page I had done at my Scrap for Heart crop I attended last Saturday.
See Nancy, I did more then just Wayne's birthday card, teehee.

If you remember I have a little 6x6 album (two actually) for layouts I do that involve crafting with my friends.
These are the latest layouts I made for that album.

I know I have shared these photos of my friends quite a few times in layouts or just on my blog or Facebook page, but I really love them.
I love the backdrop that the ladies from the Crop and Create event put up and also love the photo that Catherine (the founder and publisher of Scrapbook & Cards Today) took with my cell phone :)

I had to play with that banner punch that Wayne bought me for Christmas…its just so cute.

Here is the full 2 page layout again.
If you would like to take a peek into my 1st 6x6 mini album, I have done a video and here is a link to that ;)
