Yesterday my friends and I attended a day long fundraising crop. Oh- I had such a great time! All of us crafty gals collected a lot of food for a local food bank. (Feels awesome to help out people in need!) We spent the whole day crafting, smiling, and chatting. Gotta love craft days spent with friends. :)
I usually attend crops with a large project to work on. The project for yesterday's crop was a mini-album using Graphic 45's Nature Sketchbook collection. The album is quite big and full of beautiful Graphic 45 details. Because of the amount of album details, I am sharing not only some photos of the album but also a YouTube video.
Below are some pics of the album. I fussy cut a lot of butterflies and some bees for it...and I had a blast doing it. It may not be summer here but my desk looked like summer with all of the colorful butterflies on it!
The front of the album has several fussy cutbutterflies. I really like how the Monarch butterfly pops against the gold doily.
The spine has three very wee butterflies fussy cut on it. Can you find them? (hint: one is in the metal label holder)
Here are some photos from inside of the album. Love the colors in this collection!
Chipboard, flower punchouts, tabs & pockets and stickers from the Nature Sketchbook collection were used throughout the album.
The envelope opens to reveal three envelopes with more embellishments and cards tucked inside.
Doesn't the collection make you think of summer beauty? It makes me yearn for summer in my gardens seeing butterflies flutter by.

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a happy, crafty day.

Stunning work Kathy Jo! These papers are just gorgeous, the pretty sentiments and, of course, all those little fussy cut butterflies. You've created quite a work of art!
