Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator
Hi and thank you for joining me today. This project is split into 3 parts. I have created a mini album that will hold full size photos and use 6"x6" paper without the need for trimming. I have used the simple stack hinge system so all abilities should be able to complete this album fairly quickly. Part 1 is the constructions of the album. Part 2 is the decoration and Part 3 is a 'step up' where I have created extra interactive sections, pockets, journalling mats, tags, photo mats etc. It is up to you how much you want to do with this album.

Time for the close ups!
I hope you liked this Mini Album and give it a try. I have tried t make this design straight forward and fairly quick to assemble. The next stage adds a bit more 'wow' to the album and its up to you if you add them or not. Part 3 will be coming soon, I have had to take a small break as I have small people visiting and need to go to the seaside every day! lol
Happy crafting

What a beautiful album! Thanks for sharing this tutorial. The instructions are clear and easy to follow along. Since I already have all the paper i am going to give this a try this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue, I would love to see your album when it is complete - I love to hear that people use my tutorials to make their own projects :-)
DeleteA beautiful album Gez, your instructions are so clear and I am going to beat your written instructions are in great depth too. TFS :O) xxx
ReplyDeleteGez that is a fabulous album, I can't thank you enough for all the support and inspiration you have provided us crafters in the past two video tutorials. Whoever you gift this to or even if you keep it yourself, I am sure that the recipient will enjoy using the album every minute of the day. xx :O)
ReplyDeleteI have a question regarding the A4 paper, here in the United States our A4 paper is 8 1/2" x 11". So how would I make the adjustments of some of those pages which you have at 11 1/2"? The two listed in question are, page 2 and also the right hand cover. I have the Garden Impressions dsp, and I love this little album. Thank you.
