Behind the Scenes of My Handmade Scrapbook Process

Every scrapbook you see here takes about 20 days to craft because I do not use ready-made templates or mass-produced parts. I start by selecting paper patterns that match your theme, then hand-cut and assemble every interactive element like pop-ups and shaker windows to ensure your story flows exactly how you want it.

When you see the finished album, it is easy to forget what happens before the photos go in. My process is entirely manual. I work with 200 to 250 GSM paper to ensure the structure holds up, and I spend hours layering elements to create the depth you see in the photos.

Behind every page is a series of decisions: which paper color complements your photo, where to place a hidden pocket for a heartfelt note, and how to calibrate a waterfall card so it moves smoothly. I often get asked why I need a 20-day lead time for orders. It is because I am not just assembling a book. I am engineering a piece of paper that needs to survive years of being opened, closed, and shared. Whether it is a graduation farewell, a baby's first-year milestone, or an anniversary surprise, my goal is to make sure the mechanics—the sliders, the pop-ups, the shakers—feel like a natural part of the story you are telling. I document these moments in my studio to show you that what you receive is a small piece of my heart, built one page at a time.
