Tag Mini Album

Hi crafty friends.  It is Jody here for Mini Album Monday.  First, have you seen the sneak peeks of Paige Evans new collection?!? Very exciting stuff! 

So I thought I'd use up some of the beautiful Horizon collection for this album.  I found a pin of this album on Pinterest and new I could do it!  


First, I let my silhouette do some work by cutting the parts of this cute layered flower.  It is by Paige Evans and you can find it in the Silhouette Design Store.  I was not sure how big to make it but I think I guessed right! All the papers and goodies that come with the collection are spot on for traveling.  



Next, I used that beautiful blue pattern paper to make the sleeves.  I just eyeballed the paper and folded it.  I did score the paper in 4 equal sections to make the sleeves for the tags, that hold the pictures.  I then made the tags with a punch I picked up at Hobby Lobby.  I backed the small pictures with vellum or pattern paper.  I love to get my photos a little mat to rest on.  I started adding embellishments in all the fun colors.



Once the tags were complete, with ribbon to pull them out of their pockets,  I worked on a cover and back for the album.  It took me a few tries to get it right but the globe pattern paper was perfect! I also attached the beautiful layered flower with all its cute parts. 


There is still so much space in this album.  The back parts of the tags can be filled.  The pockets the tags are in can get pictures and of course, the back of the album can hold any journalling or tickets I saved.  


Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you found some inspiration to make a mini album.  Please print your pictures and start writing your stories ❤️

Mini Album Monday June 17th 2019

Hi crafty friends.  Its Jody here for Mini Album Monday.  I have seriously fallen in love with these pocket albums.  The patterned cardstock is by The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby called Orange Envy!    I could not pass up $4.99 for 60 sheets even if it is onesided! 😉



I used a Silhouette cut file by Lori Whitlock. I adjusted a few card edges but no major changes to the original.  



Once all the parts were cut it came together quickly.  I glued the envelopes together, then added the front envelope pockets, adhered the front and back covers and the mat/journal cards in the pockets. I was ready to embellish in no time.  


Most of the goodies came from different Pink Fresh Studio collections.  I also used a few Vicki Boutin ephemera pieces and stickers from Amy Tangerine.






I have not decided what photos I want to put in this mini album.  I think it can be used for a number for different occasions especially, Summertime pictures!
