Graphic 45 Off to the Races mini album with video

Hello Crafty Friends!

An exciting day here at I'm a Little Teapot: I have a YouTube channel!  Woo-who!  The channel will share projects (such as mini albums) and tutorials.  If you have requests for any tutorials, feel free to leave a comment and I will add it to my tutorial list.

The first video I would like to share is of a Graphic 45 Off to the Races portfolio/album.  The project is full of beautiful imagery from the paper collection and fussy cut roses.


Below are photos of the album. 

A closeup of the front corner of the album.  The leaves and stamps were fussy cut from various pages:

The inside of the portfolio.  It has a pocket with cards on the left side.  The right side has two flaps that lift to reveal a pull out mini album.

The inside with the album removed:

The front of the mini has four pockets.  I saved the internal cards for last as I wanted to create cards from scrap papers.  The system worked out well as I was able to use up some of the pretty scraps!

 Elegant ladies ready for the race!    Love the hats...

 The vintage patterns, roses and colors in the collection make it one of my favorites. 

 The large card inside of the pocket.

A fun set of pages to tuck pics or journal cards in the band on the left...

 ...and flip the right side for a photo or text.

 More fussy cut roses on the left surrounding the images.  On the right are more pockets.

Probably my favorite image in the entire collection.  The image of her with her horse is heartwarming.

Last but not least is the back of the closed portfolio.  

The project was perfect for the all day crop I was attending.  It was a happy day talking to my friends and fussy cutting the papers.  By the end of the day the project was almost complete...and I required minimal craft supplies to to create the project!

Thank you for stopping by!  I do hope you enjoyed the project and video.
Have a happy, crafty day!
Big hugs,
Kathy Jo
