La-La Land Craft Retreat Projects (Part 5)

Ok, didn't realize it will take 5 posts, but here's the last. I hope you're not tired yet of these projects. I reserved the best for the last.

The first one is an album that has a case to hold it. The case comes as a stand too! And the handle! Oh I love how it looks! These La-La Land dies are just so versatile you can turn them to anything! Don't you just love how the front decorations on the box look like?? It features Fabulous Marci which will soon be released.

And here's another jaw dropping project, the last of the bunch. So so pretty! Love how it opens and it just keeps giving you more and more! The folds are intricate and every single panel is just well thought of.

And here's a view of ALL the projects done.



 That's it folks! All 3 days of work, into 5 posts! Should you get the chance, I encourage you to attend one of these craft retreats, aside from making awesome projects, I guarantee you'll meet new people, friends, and have a great time! It's a relaxing 3-day retreat and I swear you will not regret it!


La-La Land Craft Retreat (Part 4)

So I've shared cards, 3D, flip albums, now I'm on to more albums and drawers and boxes. There's just way too many pictures to share that I had to break up the posts so you can appreciate just how complex these projects are.

First is clutch bag looking album. This is genius! I love love love how it turned out! Here's how the outside folder up clutch bag album looks like.


Once you open it up, you see 3 pocket folders in the middle. 


Here's what the folded layers look like.

Don't you think it looks pretty? So classy!

Next is this album with what looks like endless pages/flips.

Doesn't it look great? I don't know what to do with it yet, but it looks so pretty!

Tired of albums yet? Don't be, coz here's another one! I did warn you, we do so many of these amazing projects at the retreat. It truly takes your mind somewhere else.

Here's 2 boxes in 1, with the flaps or sides of the box as flip flap albums. This is probably my favorite album box of all. It's so lovely!!! The top features Fabulous Marci, and I die cut her glasses using polka dot patterned paper.
