Vintage Camera Mini Album Pattern Correction

Well, it's official...I am NOT perfect!  ...don't worry, I already knew that :)

I have made an error in my Vintage Camera Mini Album Pattern :o  Not to worry...the error has been corrected, and I have emailed everyone who has purchased a pattern from me the corrected version.

If you have purchased a copy of the pattern from me, and were missed on the distribution, please send me an email at butterbeescraps@telus.net and I will ensure that you receive an updated copy.

Sorry for any inconvenience!

Vintage Western Mini Album Update

I had all the best intentions to get my vintage western mini album posted by the end of this month.  Well, things around here have been hectic to say the least, and it would take a miracle for me to have this album completed by the end of September.

I absolutely hate not keeping my commitments, so at the very least, I want to share a sneak peak of my creation:

I know, I know...these pictures are soooooooo close up!  I need to keep a little mystery so I don't ruin the whole surprise ;)

Coming Soon...Vintage Western Mini Album!!!

So I had a request for a "vintage western" themed album a while back.  The request suggested possibly making the album in the shape of a boot...well, the gears have been well-greased because I absolutely LOVE what I've come up with.  It's not a boot, but if you like my vintage camera mini album, this one is sure to please, as well.

Not only does this project offer a unique way to display your album, it is also packed with several custom tags, pockets, and picture mats and frames.  Sorry, I don't want to ruin the surprise, so won't give any more details for now, but I will tell you that I am writing a pattern that will be available immediately after I have released this album :)

Due to a busy summer, I won't be sharing this album as soon as I would like, but do plan to have it complete by the end of September (but hopefully sooner).  I hope you stay tuned :)

Thank you everyone for your support!

I just wanted to post a quick note extending a big "THANK YOU" to everyone who has supported me by purchasing a copy of my Vintage Camera Mini Album pattern.  This is the first pattern I've written and I have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of people interested in purchasing a copy.  I've also noticed that I have several new followers of this blog...thank you, thank you, thank you!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer :)

IT'S HERE!!! My Vintage Camera Mini Album Pattern is Now FOR SALE :)

So, I promised that my first "scrapbooking" priority would be to finish writing the pattern for my Vintage Camera Mini Album...and that's exactly what I have done :)  Between working full-time, completing renovations on a rental property, and preparing for my son's month-long visit coming up this weekend, I managed to get this finished :)

I know you'll love this pattern.  It's packed with 43 pages (wow!) of detailed instructions, and tons and tons of photos and diagrams.  Here's a sneak peek of what's inside:

 If you're interested in making one of these beautiful albums for yourself, just click on the "Patterns & Such" tab at the top of this page to find out how you can purchase one of these patterns.

Please be mindful of the fact that I put many, many hours into creating this pattern, so please do not share it or create .svg files of the pattern pieces for the Cricut without my written permission.  If you are interested in teaching this to a class, please contact me...I'm sure we can work something out.

Thank you so much for your understanding :)

Update: Vintage Camera Mini Album Pattern

I know many of you are wondering..."so what's up with that pattern you promised us, anyway?"  Am I right?  ...I'm sure.  Well, I just wanted everyone to know that I haven't forgotten about it.  It's just that sometimes life gets in the way.

You'll be happy to know that finishing this pattern for all of you VERY patient fans is now my top "scrapbooking" priority.  I have the text complete for both the construction of the camera box and the mini album that fits inside.  I am now going to build another complete album for two reasons - to test the written instructions for assembling the camera, and so that I can take tons of photos to add to the instructions and make them easy to follow.  If you're anything like me, it's all about the pictures.

Thank you to everyone for all your patience...it will all be worth it in the end :)

"Baby Steps" Shabby Chic Mini Album

Wow!  It's been a month already since I last made a post on my blog...shame on me!  Well, the good news is that summer is here...the bad news is, as I am sure everyone can relate, life has gotten crazy busy!  Summer seems to do that to me.

Well, I finished another mini album...finally!  (Even if I have said this before, I'm still gonna say it again...I am a very slow scrapper!!!)  This album was created using Laura Denison's pattern of her "Special Delivery" baby mini album; however, I had to add my own special touches :)  You can purchase a copy of Laura's pattern on her website by clicking on the following link:

So, as you can see, I switched the album up immediately by creating a traditional cover for the album instead of making it into a diaper bag:

I also added features that give the parents to be some direction as to what to put into the album.  I've added a small book in the front cover for journalling to baby before he/she is born, a place to write details of baby's time and place of birth, a spot for hand and footprints, and a second mini book in the back cover for recording baby's milestones.

Here are some pictures showcasing my favourite pages from the album:
