Hello everyone and welcome to Altenew’s December 2018 Release Blog Hop!! Today we are showcasing all of the new stamps, dies, and paper packs. If you arrived here from the talented Amanda Korotkova blog, then you are on the right track. If you arrived here on your own, then you will want to start at the beginning, the Altenew Card Blog so that you don’t miss a thing!
Take a look at my 6 x 6 patterned paper scrapbook:

I love Altenew’s new paper pack called Verdant Walk. The paper is nice and thick and doesn’t need chipboard for reinforcement.
I also love combining my love of sewing supplies with my scrapbook supplies.
Here’s how I created this album:
Decide on how many pages you want your album to consist of. For this one I created a 5 page album.
Using the new Mega Greeting 3 stamp, I stamped the sentiment on the first patterned paper, creating the cover.
With the large grommet, I created a hole in the top left hand corner.
Once each piece of paper had a hole, I used the grommet pliers to close the grommet around the paper. Do not squeeze to tight. You want the papers to slide around the grommet.
Add the photos to the center of each paper using glue tape and two black enamel dots from the Green Field Enamel Dots set to decorate each paper.
Friends are everything right?! Such a great way to show them off. What do you think?
Let’s take another look:
