Hello scrappy friends! Today I want to share photos & details of the rainbow sequin scrapbook I made last month featuring photos from our Spring Break in Honolulu.
Here is a video flip through so you can see the size, scale, and details:
I have been collaborating with Gi DeMello (my “Bestie in Brazil”!) making custom sequin albums ever since my Halloween kit & class back in 2023. We’ve made over 20 sequin albums together since then with lots more in the works!
When I sent Gi a sketch with my idea for a rainbow sequin album to match the Rainbow Avenue collection by Celes Gonzalo she brought it to life more beautifully than I could have ever imagined!
The size of the rainbow sequin album is approximately 8½x9½” with a 2” spine so it can hold lots of pages and memories. I documented 346 photos from our recent Spring Break vacation to Oahu, Hawaii in this album - the perfect destination for all-things rainbow!
I LOVE to add ribbons & trims to the edges for the perfect and tactile finishing touch.
I put the pom pom trims in rainbow order to go along with the all-things-rainbow theme.
On Sunday May 4th I got started on my sample album and released the kits on May 23rd & 24th. That's 19 days from start to release - it was a very busy 19 days! But I had a goal to release the album during my 40th birthday month and I had to smash that goal!
The kits sold out in 1 hour and 13 minutes! I opened up orders to my "first-to-know" list that I'd been gathering since March for one hour on the evening of May 23rd and then I released the rest of the kits to my PaigePals on the morning of the 24th and those sold out in 13 minutes. I love scrapbooking sooooo much and I'm so happy that you love it too!
HAWAII has 6 letters and it just so happens there are 6 sections of sequins on the spine - perfect for the title! I love when serendipitous things like that happen. It's meant to be!
I finished off the album with a handmade tassel and paper baubles charm.
From cover to cover, this album makes me smile!
Let's look through some of the spreads:
I love hand stitching.
I had so many photos I wanted to include that for most of the spreads I created a collage on the left and a fun foundation page on the right.
A backed cut file page.
Rainbow fringe!
Paper weaving.
Folded hearts to make paper flowers.
Folded paper circles to make a textured diamond background.
Semi-circle rainbow stripes.
Watercoloring & rainbow string art.
A pocket to hold more memories.
I absolutely loved filling this rainbow sequin album with memories!
The purchase of the rainbow sequin album includes access to the 6.5 hour class but I have sold out at the moment - check MY SHOP frequently for when they're available again!
I have sold out of pastel sequin rainbow albums but I might have a couple extras after I ship out pre-orders next month.
I will open up pre-orders for a traditional rainbow sequin album soon!
Let me know if you have any questions and have a happy scrappy day!
