Hi Everyone and WOW it's March. Spring will be here in a few weeks and I know we all are waiting on it with baited breath. LOL
It's also time for the Mini Album Mania challenge. The challenge will continue til April 15, so you have plenty of time to make a mini book/album and submit it.
I happened upon a cool lil album that is fun to make and pretty easy to do. Its known as a Blizzard Book. Here is a link to a video (no sound) for a visual tutorial https://www.pinterest.com/pin/210684088811952581/
I added a cover and each page has a pull out
This album measures about 2 3/4" X 6". Each page has a pull out piece that gives you the opportunity to write notes etc. so each page has room for notes etc. This is perfect for a weekend trip and you can also use this design for grocery lists and a whole host of other things.
Front of album
Since my theme is travel, I used a map for my paper
that became the pages for this album
I inserted CS sheets on each page for notes.
They are held onto the page by sliding between the triangles on the pages.
I added to stamped images to some of the pages in keeping with the travel theme.
Here is a pic of 2 pages with the CS sheets for notes removed.
You can see more of the map paper that I used.
This album is so quick to make up. I made the pages in less than 15 minutes.
I added the cover and adorned the pages all in less than a half hour.
Another thing is the only places that I used glue
was to attach the cover and the ephemera to the pages.
The pages themselves are not glued, just folded
You won't believe how easy this is and that there is no adhesive used to make the pages.
I hope you give this mini album a try. It is really quick to make. (Took me longer to decide on the theme and paper to use than it did to make the album)
Don't forget, the Mini Album Mania challenge has begun. The challenge will continue til April 15, so you have plenty of time to make a mini book/album and submit it. I'd love to see what you create.
Til next time
