My Big Fat Mini Album!


You can't tell here but this album is just loaded with *stuff*.  It has only 5 pages, but they sure hold a lot.

Here's the view from the top.....
.....it won't close up any more than this.
I bound it with my Cinch and I really need to use a bigger binding wire.  I'll have to look for one next time I go shopping.

It is a *Side Pocket* mini album.  Each page, which has a front back and centre, is made from one sheet of 12 x 12 double sided paper.  I used K & Company - Susan Wingett Botanicals.
Elsa at *Just a few Designs* is the creator of this technique.
 Here is her video tutorial.

Okay, now for more pictures......there's lots of them to see!

 Page 1 - front
Each of the pages has an insert which can be used as a photo mat.

For this tag I used my craft knife to slice the paper into 3 and then glued onto backing leaving a space between each piece.

Again I sliced the paper with my craft knife and glued the pieces onto card stock, leaving gaps in between each piece.

Hope I didn't bore you all with this picture intense post.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit.
Bye for now,

For some reason my comment from yesterday disappeared! So I will gush all about this gorgeous work of art all over again! This is amazing Babs! Such detail and such a labor of love! You and I have very similar taste as I just bought this paper pack! Since I have about used to death the last paper pack we both loved, I hope this becomes my new favorite to use to death! I am quite inspired to use it from seeing this gorgeous album! Love every detail on this project!
