For my Blog Hop project I decided to use one of the beautiful chipboard albums from Want2Scrap and one of my favorite collections from Graphic 45 - Steampunk Debutante. Several years ago I had taken some photos of my Niece and I was waiting for the perfect papers to construct a mini album from the photo shoot. The wait was worth it once I saw the photos with the Steampunk Debutante papers.
I changed most of the inside pages of the album to my own custom designs. On the left side of my blog I have created an album "Steampunk Debutante Mini Album" where I have loaded all my step by step photos and written instructions for this complete projects. Please feel free to print off the photos and instructions if you are interested in trying some of these techniques at home. All the techniques I have used in this project can easily be adapted to any of the Graphic 45 paper collections.
I am excited to be sharing the last day of the blog hop with the following super talented designers - be sure to check out their projects and leave them a comment for your chance to win.

I just ordered this Wednesday nite late! Now I have some great ideas and inspiration! I am using different papers because it is of my youngest daughter and her new husband on their honeymoon at a vintage western photo place. I know I have a G45 paper(s) that will work perfectly for this!! Great gift for their anniversary I thought! Thanks
