Whimsy Wallet Style Mini album

This is an album I saw on You Tube except I didn't like the size on YouTube so I just used the basic construction to make the size I wanted. I don't remember the name of the girl I saw. (I'll pay more attention next time)

I used DCWV paper pad The Whimsy size 4.5 X 6.5

Cover of the mini. You could add bling, flowers and ribbon!

Cover for the mini. I call this the Wallet style cover

This is the actual album that goes inside the wallet style cover.

 

French Country mini album

I used DCWV French Country stack to create this mini album using Kathy's I put a spell on you tutorial. Which can be purchased on her blog. (Click the link on the left side)

I have no embellishments on this at this time as I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this mini. As soon as I do I'll add more pictures and update this. Thanks for looking. 

Perfect little wallet sized mini scrapbook

I loved Kathy's Journal suitcase album she made but wanted one to put wallets in so i took her measurements and divided them in half and came up with a smaller version of her album.  I love it. I did put flowers on the cover and now that I think about it I think they will get messed up in my purse but that gives me another reason to make another one right?

Faux policy envelope Mini

Of course Kathy came up with another great Mini and I had to make it tonight. I plan on giving this to a friend for Christmas. I hope she likes it!  This album is made from 6, 6 by 9 envelopes! Simple and easy. Check out her ustream for directions on how to make this!

Matchbox style Mini album

Once again Kathy at Paper Phenomenon came up with a wonderful gift idea and today I made my first one. She has a tutorial on YouTube. Inside each paperbag is a tag that measures 6 by 6.

My very own creation!

Ok, so nothing interesting was on last night and I decided to make up my own mini album. My best friends birthday is soon and wanted to make her something extra special. This is what I came up with. Let me first say that I took Kathy Files (paper phenomenon) idea for the binding/hidden hinge of this book but changed it up a little and smashed it with my own flair. Or something like that!! I'm sure somewhere someone has came up with these page ideas and I in now way intend on stealing someones ideas or anything like that I'm just doing what pops in my brain.


I wanted to only use 8 1/2" by 11" paper as well as I have hordes and hordes laying all over my scrap room. :) the pages measure 5 1/2 by 7 1/2. The tags stick out about  1/4 of an  inch from the pockets.

This is the first page closed. As you can see it's a flap the green is just peaking out on the left side. The page flips open to the right. 

This is the first page with the flap open.  

The 2nd and 3rd pages. Between the 1st and 2nd page is a pocket and the 2 pockets on the right are on one page. 

Just a close up of the pocket page. 

This is the 4th and 5th pages. Actually the previous pictures and the page with the hearts are all on page assembly. The 2 pockets on the right side are the 2nd page assembly but each creates a "typical page"
The pockets on the right are not joined together or on another page as are the previous 2 pockets although they are the same size. 

Just a picture to show what I  mean by the pockets are not joined together. They are only joined at the binding but move left and right freely of each other. (I'm not making sense am I? LOL)

 And I decided to put the same size pockets facing each other. 

... and the process starts all over again.  


Hope you enjoy looking!
