HELLO AGAIN 6X8 ALBUM | WITH TRACI

Happy Friday! Traci here and I'm loving the new Hello Again collection! The original 2018 Hello collection was a favorite of mine so I had high hopes and, true to form ... this one is gorgeous! The colors are so fresh and summery. It's has fun prints and cute icons that can be used for lots of different projects. There are flowers, butterflies, houses, books, telephones, plants, cars, and ... amazing gold foil accents! It was barely out of the box before I started making an album with all this cuteness!

I started with a 6x8 robin's egg blue binder and used both the 12x12 and 6x6 prints. For the cover, I added some adorable die cuts from the Odds & Ends and the brand new chunky twine in coral.

Check out the gold accents on the die cuts and shape sprinkles. They are gorgeous but the photos don't show how pretty they really are. When the light hits them, they literally shimmer!

Here's a close-up of the coral twine. I love it and it looks amazing with the summer colors in this collection.

I created a pocket with the Green Thumb paper (such a clever name, lol!) and tucked a bright pink photo mat inside. On the front of the pocket, I added the stack of books die cut - it has pretty gold accents too!

I made a waterfall element to hold lots of photos and show off all the colorful pattern papers. The top layer is a 4x4 card from the print titled Patchwork Plaid, which ... is also the second layer too. All the little hearts on the third layer remind me of heart shaped sprinkle stickers. I love those!

I used a 3x4 journaling card from the print called Pretty Polka-dots to create a small folding card. It's perfect for some notes and a few photos inside. And that pink color is amazing.

Here's another pocket page with more photo mats and journaling cards inside. These pattern papers are too cute to waste so this is a great way to use your scraps.

I made a gate-fold page with this pistachio colored Butterfly Garden paper and added some Odds & Ends pieces. The 3x4 card in the center has a great positive saying and acts as a tab to open the pages. Perfect!

I hope my mini album inspires you to create something wonderful with the Hello Again collection. It just feels happy and I know you're going to love it!

If you want to create this album, I am selling the DIY kit in my shop! It will be pre-cut, easy to assemble, and have full color instructions. Check out all of the details in my shop via the link below!
