Creating the Album | Part 1

In this first part of the Album build, we begin crafting the official home for the Butterfly Emporium collection.
This Album is designed to store all 1,300 butterflies across their colour families, with pockets, flaps, tuck‑spots and section dividers that make the whole Emporium feel like a real specimen archive.

Today we’ll construct the base, assemble the spine, and start laying out the internal structure that holds the entire collection.

Everything you see — the templates, butterflies, collage papers, and ephemera — is completely FREE on Ko‑fi as part of the 5,000 subscriber celebration. Each month from August to December a new Colour Family of butterflies and will be released along with coordinating Collage papers.
