Get Ready to Craft Along with LV Handcrafted

In this workshop, Linh will be teaching us how to create a Squash Book mini album from scratch! You don't need any special dies or tools beyond a paper trimmer and scoreboard! This adorable little mini album is perfect for brag books for all your special memories! This is one of the simplest mini albums you can make but it's sure to make a big impression!

PHOTO INSPIRATION
Meet Linh @lvhandcrafted
Hi! I’m Linh – or LV Handcrafted on social media. I live in Seattle, WA with my husband and our two dogs. I’ve been crafting since I was in high school but took a long break as I started my career. Now (many many years later) I am my own boss working as a business consultant, so I can balance my time and do more of what I love – papercrafting!
I’m excited to be an Instructor at this first ever virtual retreat. It’s such an honor to join this amazingly talented team of designers to create this fun event. There’s always so much to learn in papercrafting, and I find great joy in adding my own twist and sharing what I've learned. I'm excited for this Fall retreat in particular because I love fall colors and pumpkin spice lattes.

Excited for the first Not2Shabby Virtual Retreat! Thank you for the advance notice of supplies. I'm starting to gather them now since I'm such a slow crafter! ;)
