Hello, creative souls!
Today, I'm thrilled to share with you a project that's very close to my heart. It began last September when I captured the beauty of nature and a very special moment in my friend's life— her pregnancy. The photoshoot took place in an enchanting spot near my home, surrounded by the serenity of nature and the clarity of crystal-clear water. The resulting pictures were nothing short of stunning, perfectly encapsulating the glow and grace of my dear friend.
As I started printing these beautiful images, an idea sparked in my mind. Why not create a photo album? A tangible keepsake filled with these precious memories. And so, the journey of crafting a personalized Scrapbooking Album began.
For those curious about the creative process, I've put together a video (despite English not being my first language, I braved through!) where I talk and show you each step of this labour of love. The video is up on my YouTube channel, and I hope it brings a fresh perspective and content to all my viewers.
The creation of this album was a mix of dedication and joy. I used my own SVG file "Photo Album" for this project, and although cutting the 41 mats required time and patience, assembling them was an incredibly relaxing and fun experience. The Canon Selphy was my choice for printing the pictures, ensuring each photo was as vivid and striking as the moment itself.
Choosing the patterned paper was a bit of a journey, but I finally selected one that I believed would resonate with my friend's mystic style. The final touch? Designing an Album Box as a container for this treasured album. And guess what? I'm sharing this design as a freebie for all of you! You can download it here.
I can't wait to hear what you think about this project and this type of content. Your thoughts and feedback mean the world to me, so feel free to drop a comment below or reach out on my social channels.
Keep crafting, keep creating, and most importantly, keep cherishing those special moments.
With love and creativity, - Giuly
