I have a few friends who wanted to make some kind of mini album too and so I issued a challenge on my blog - find it here!
I cut and glued all of the papers in last night... don't ask me what time I went to bed lol You don't want to know! And the back cover is the same black & purple as the front cover, I just forgot to take a picture of it!
I used the pamphlet stitch with orange and green ribbons, and if your going to use ribbons I suggest making big enough holes lol It was mighty hard to work with. I did small tags on the front as I thought that paper would make the perfect pocket!
This last page I messed up on... I was being so careful trying to get the 2 pages matching up... and this one I cut the 2 inches off in the middle by mistake lol Didn't want to waste paper and so I made a pocket out of it, the pocket lines up with the left page... the right page under the pocket doesn't but it will be mostly covered when I make something to go in the pocket!
The paper was a scrapbook paper pad I got at Michaels, $30 and I had a 50% off coupon. Then I bought some brads today, some Halloween embellishments and a stamp that was on sale! Can't wait to finish the book!
Pam, you are making my heart melt!!! This is so darn cute!!! Well done!!! A+++

Thank you so much Stacy & Jen! I think these mini books are my new addiction lol So much fun to make!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jen, glad to have you as a follower!
Very cute! I like the pocket on the front and the ribbons look great!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kathy! I modeled the tags after a thin bookmark I have, then just shortened them! And inked the edges with a stamp pad!
ReplyDeleteThis is a cute little album, Pam! Love the Halloween theme and all your doo dads - you really made it unique and adorable ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lee :)
ReplyDeletePam that is so cute.... Your paper is certainly brighter than mine, now I really want to get mine done. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marlene! I am sure yours will be just as fun! I got lucky my Michaels had about 5 different Halloween paper pads to choose from... this one had a lot of purple and I LOVE purple lol
