A World of Softness and Light:

The Ethereal Collection by Ciao Bella transports you to a realm of ethereal enchantment. Featuring a delicate colour palette of soft pastels, shimmery metallic accents, and muted florals, these papers are perfect for capturing precious memories with a touch of otherworldly elegance.

Check out this short reel to see more of the album.

I have made my chipboard album with a range of papers from the Ethereal Collection: 12" x 12" Patterns Pad, A4 Vellum & A4 Creative Pad. The front cover was painted gold & then has been decorated with vellum & lots of different elements. The album is 8" x 8" in size.

Pink is not a normal "go to" colour for me for the main part of a project but whilst rummaging, I discovered a pack of A4 pink/fuchsia coloured card which I thought would be the perfect match for all my internal pages. Normally I would default to kraft or black card, however I am happy I stepped outside my comfort zone this time.

I created one main page which is hinged on the back pocket outer part (hope that makes sense) and from that created a hinge which supports lots of different pages, pockets & flaps.

The pockets are all different sizes which means the album can then be further personalised to different photo sizes.

At the back of the album is a huge pocket to hide photo cards, envelopes, ephemera ... whatever you want really. I have a vellum envelope which reveals a smaller brag book. Watch this space as have a tutorial coming soon showing how these can be made very quickly.
