Mini Album

My very first toilet paper mini album...now I have seen them all over the net and decided I would give it a try! I watched a couple video tutorials, haha there are tons of then and each one is just a bit different...so I picked a couple of my favorite things and just combined them to make this cute mini!

 When I was searching tutorials I saw so many different ways to bind a mini...I wasn't sure which way would look better. I loved the idea of adding tabs on the end it gives it a nice finished look and seemed to help keep the rolls flat ( I just punched hols in the end and tied them with twin which just happen to match my album perfectly!)

 I used some Tim Holtz Idea-ology Wallflower papers  its the first time I've used his papers....the whole album only used 1 1/2 sheets of 12x12 paper (from the back of the pack they were a 6x6 design)

 each tube /page has a tag that pulls out the end and every other page has a double tag/matte that also pulls out,I used those as extra pages...half goes in the tube and the other half folds over

 the album has minimal embellishments since I really wasn't sure what I was going to do with it just yet or who I was giving it to yet...I figure who ever gets it will want to be able to customize it for themselves.

 a few velum stickers and lace trimmings make it easy to match other embellishments ...

thank you so much for taking the time to check out my latest project!

Girly Mini Album

I’ve been working hard on this little album, it’s about 5x5 well the inside pages are 5x5 LOL…I was watching video’s on youtube the other day and came across this lady that was making an album (well she called hers an art journal) anyway she made it out of all recycled items…so I thought what the heck I’ll give it a shot! The cover and inside pages are made from recycled cereal bar box’s (my favorite so there were plenty to choose from LOL) Let me tell you this little album is sturdy! I wanted to make it kind of girly hence the color and I also used some of my handmade flowers on the cover the pattern papers are from a DCWV stack my daughter had gotten me its once upon a time theme so there are plenty of embossed pieces, not sure you can see them in the pictures  …there is plenty of room for pictures and places for tags/journaling…I left a lot open so it can be customized since I really wasn’t she who to give it to yet or if I wanted to keep it myself...I thought I would also enter this is the Berry71blue challenge for their handmade flower challenge...the flowers on the cover are made by me!

thanks for coming to take a peek!
