Hortensia Perpetual Mini Album

Hi Crafty Friends I'm here today to share a project for Clare at My Creative Spirit using Stamperia's Hortensia Collection.  If you aren't familiar with it please check out the links at the bottom of this post.  If you love flowers, especially hydrangeas then this is truly the collection for you.  Hydrangeas have always been a favorite for me.  Growing up Momma had huge ones growing outside our dining room window.   I remember one year she picked a large bouquet and dried them for a centerpiece.  My goodness they lasted forever.  So pretty, so many memories....


Isn't she beautiful?  She's dreaming of peace and contentment and a world free of Pandemics, less stress and turmoil, oh wait, I think that's what I'm dreaming of.  

This book has a hard front and back with accordian pages that open to the right and left.  A fabulous design Clare made!  It allows you to view the complete front or back all at one time.


Your best look at the mini is through my YouTube walk through video.  In it I will share each page and all the tuck ins, pockets, hidden treasures etc.  The link is at the bottom of this post.  

These are the first two pages.  As I said, it's stunning paper don't you think?  Stamperia never disappoints.



For those of you that have followed my creative journey you know I love repurposing things.  The parchment bag and the pink doily with the flower cluster were all one bag gifted to me by my friend Paula.  I cut the bag top off so I could use bits on both pages.  It's the perfect complement to the papers. These are pages 3 and 4.



Pages 5 and 6 share one of the lovely purple hearts my friend Manuela (Bunny Bow on YouTube) gifted to me many moons ago.  I've been hoarding but I thought it time to share with whomever purchases this book. Things are always better when shared don't you think?



I have created a playlist for anyone wishing to know how I created any of the elements you see on these pages.  Each two pages are a separate video so it will be easy for you to find the correct video without having to wade through all the things you may not be interested in.  These are pages 7 and 8.  Here I created an acetate window which eventually could house a very special photo.


And as all good things this one ends with pages 9 and 10.  I hope you've enjoyed this little visual of the book and pages.  Please join me over on YouTube so you can see the whole book, start to finish.  

Have a wonderful crafting day my friends!
