*Memories Documented*

Hello friends!

I have another Boxed mini album to show you today.  It is from a pattern that I purchased from Cristi at *Paperhoarder Disorder*

There's lots of pictures to see.....

This is the paper stack that I used, *Memories Documented* by Recollections.  It has lots of cut aparts of various sizes, which are great to use for inserts and tags.

A closer look at the top.

I prefer not to add too many embellishments to the front of my albums.  Some of the papers are so gorgeous that it's a shame to cover them up.   

I made the roses with card stock.  Video tutorial here

The box opens to reveal the pages, each page is a pocket which has an insert, so there's lots of room for pictures.

The *remember* tag is just glued partway so that a tag can slide in under it.

A side pocket on this page

this one has a flip up

This page has a side pocket at the left which holds a 2 pocket corner insert

Another pocket page

The last page on the left has a belly band and picture mat.

Here are some of the page inserts

 Well, time to start another one! lol

Next I'm going to be making another boxed mini, but with a difference this time.  I'll be back to show you when it's done.

Bye for now & have a lovely day!

Up & Down Waterfall Insert

This is my second post today.

This is an insert with it's own pocket that I made from a file folder.  I'm going to put it into a mini album.

Here's the Youtube tutorial  from one of my favourite crafters *Papercrafter45* 

The papers are from The Paper Studio *Poetic Postage* collection.

The top & bottom have pockets with inserts.

That's all for today, thanks for looking!

*Mini Album in a Box*

In case you hadn't noticed, I'm in mini album mode right now. ;)

 I was looking around online at mini albums and came across this mini album in a box.....as soon as I saw it I wanted to give it a try, so I went ahead and purchased the tutorial and got to work.  My first one didn't turn out so good, I made the top 1/8" too small and it wouldn't fit properly.  The instructions mention that the measurements are very precise and need to be right on in order to work properly, so I tried again and this time.... voila!  It worked out fine & here it is.  Hope you like it.

The box measures 7" x 5"  

 The papers are Recollections *Cherry Blossoms* from Michaels.  They are beautiful and didn't want to cover it, so I just added the words, cut out on my Cricut with the *Sophisticated* cartridge.

The lid lifts off & the sides collapse to reveal the pages.  Each of the 8 pages is a pocket which holds an insert.

Glad you took the time to visit today,  If you are interested in making one of these albums here is the link to the etsy store where you can purchase the tutorial.  It comes with a very detailed pdf and an equally detailed video tutorial.

 I'm going to be starting another of these albums, so stay tuned & I'll be back soon to show you.
