Hello Bloggers
Finally finished this album which ended up being very 'wide' & as you go through the pics you will know why.
I used vanilla cardstock inside the book & green cardstock for cover.. 
There are 7 pages in total that are 11 3/8" with the 3/8" score & fold in the centre at 5 1/2" in from each edge. Each page has an outside front 5 1/2", an inside left 5 1/2", an inside right at 5 1/2" & an outside back 5 1/2".
There are 2 pages tied with ribbon that have an additional inner set 
- pages 3 & 5.

Front of page 3 on the right is the 1st of the double pages. The ribbon was attached to the back of page 3 with ephemera tucked into the ribbon.  This page is  16 3/8" - 3/8" at centre with 3 1/4" folded in on each side.  The inner piece  is 8 6/8" with 2/8" at centre.  |

| View of page 3 with ribbon untied.  The edges of the flaps & the inside smaller page were deckle edged & the same matching paper used on the outside & inside of the flaps | 
  |

The left page is the front of the second page that has a mini insert tied with ribbon - page 5 | 
  | 
| Close up  | 
  | 
| Inside of page 5 & front of the insert page. There were no flaps on page 5. The insert page had green cardstock to allow ephemera/photos/journaling to be tucked in.  The insert page has vintage trinkets folded over the edge for turning | 
  | 
| Inside the insert page - same size as inner of page 3 | 
  | 
| Back of insert page & inside of page 5.  All the pages had the same papers used on them | 
  | 
| Back of page 5. The front & back of page 5 has a small vintage trinket & pearl in front of the ribbon.  On the right is outside front of page 6 with a lace belly band | 
  | 
| The insides of page 6 were simply embellished | 
  | 
| Outside of page 6 with 'non white' flowers.  Ont the right is the outside of page 7. The fan ephemera was fussy cut & folded to appear as a fan | 
  | 
| Insides of page 7 has matching pieces to tuck in notes, pics, journaling. The frames were fussy cut & could have pics in them | 
  | 
| Back of page 7.  The right side is the back of the back cover with the rose fussy cut to allow tuck ins which fell out when photographing | 
All pages were glued directly to the spine.
Hope this has given you some ideas for mini albums.  The embellishing can easily be used on cards, scrapbook pages & more
Bye for now
