Hi
And welcome back to my blog.
It's time for another challenge over at Mini Album Mania.
The challenge will continue til June 15, so you have plenty of time to make a mini book/album and submit it.
I don't know about you but I love making albums and I'm always looking for a different album recipe LOL. Well I came upon this album recently and just had to make it. Its called the Pocket Page Mini Album. I felt it fit the bill for the MAM DT I am on. So I made the album and I'm telling you it was easy to make and took very little time. I took pics of all the pages so you'd get a better idea as to what this cute piece looks like.
Front Cover
The inside of the album cover and
the first page
Flipped to the next 2 pages
See those lines on the left page in that triangle area??
That's the flip side of the blue paper I used
Next 2 pages
Next 2 pages
This is the center of the album
and you can see that I sewed the pages with Bakers Twine
Easy peasy, just 3 stitches
And all pages and book front and back are connected,
by sewing down the spine center
Next 2 pages
Last page and inside of the book coverIf you notice those white triangles on the pages, that is a piece of white CS that you can pull out from the pocket
and add notes etc. You can also add pics or other memorabilia in the pocket area.
The floral pieces I added to each page was in my stash
and I have had them for eons.
They are Tim Holtz idea-ology Botanical Layers
The pages were made by using double sided 12X12 paper
one side is blue and the other side is lined with 3 or 4 colors.
For the cover and spine, I just used 120lb weight white CS.
I covered the front, back and insides with a paper
that coordinated with the blue on the pages.
I mentioned that this album was easy to make,
well here is a link to the site that has the instructions.
Hope you give it a try.
Don't forget, the Mini Album Mania challenge has begun. The challenge will continue til June 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,
