“Clementine” Mini Album Design Project

Happy to share with you my latest design project!

I used beautiful paper collection “Clementine” from  @keepitsimplepapercrafts3279 .

This mini album measures approximately 5 1/2″ X 7 1/2″ and features design elements to expand places for photos, memorabilia, and more!

The Clementine paper collection features beautifully designed double-sided prints which are made with high quality paper. Having two different collections (Flipside Pack and Collection Pack) allowed for a wide range of papers and elements to use in this project.

Here is a video walk through of the design project, which is also available on my YouTube channel.

Below is a list of some of the items used in this project:

KeepItSimplePaper – “Clementine” Collection Pack, Flipside Pack, and Collection Sticker Sheet

Sizzix Making Essentials Sequins & Beads in various color collections

JudiKins Diamond Glaze Water-based Dimensional Adhesive

Fun Collaboration

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to collaborate with my artist/son @ryan_babers_art.

I’ve always wanted to do a collaboration with him on a project, just didn’t know when that would happen.

He recently started designing prints for fabric, wallpaper, home crafting and much more!

Summer was the perfect time of year to highlight his newest print, so we came up with a fun canvas tote bag.

I designed and stitched the large outer pocket and interior pocket to compliment the purchased canvas bag blank.

The bag is currently available for purchase, see link below.

Take time and stop to listen

So, this has been my mantra for almost a year or more. I took my que from the phenomenal Oprah Winfrey when she once said, “when you don’t know what to do, get still until you do know.

I’ve taken time off from DesignWishesbyPamela to focus more on family and myself. The pandemic and my husband’s health scare brought into focus the need to be even more centered on self and family.

That’s not to say creating and designing, posting YouTube content and on social media are no longer important, it just means I needed to re-center my life. And, that’s where Oprah’s quote spoke to me.

I hope to back on YouTube again or launch a new adventure, with new designs and creativity to inspire you.
