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.

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
