I made this mini album for my Mother to hold updated photos of my grandchildren. All of us aren't together very often so this album was way over due.
The album has six pages, each page has a pocket and a pull out that holds four photographs.
The pages will hold at least eight photos, more photos can be added to the pockets.
This album measures 7"X 71/2" and uses the Hidden Hinge binding system. The cover is embellished with Wink of Stella brushes and Crystal Effects just to keep it simple.
This album is small enough to carry with you or just leave sitting out on a table. There is still lots of room for more photographs of all Mother's Great Grandchildren.
These four cards were the class projects for May. The cards were all cased from Pinterest so I can't take credit for the design. All these cards use the Flower Shop stamp set, Pansy Punch, and 2014-2015 Designer Series Paper stack and card stock from Stampin'Up. The cards are so clean and simple. It was a fun class with crafty friends. Enjoy!
This paper bag album was found on You Tube and made by Ginger from My Sisters Stamper. The album measures 8 1/2" X 5 1/2", includes six pages all done exactly alike and decorated using Graphic 45 Bohemian Bazaar paper.
It uses the Stack the Deck binding system.
The gusset on the left side of the paper bag is attached to the binding system, a flap is attached to the right gusset for added photo mats.
The small pocket on the right is formed by the bottom of the paper bag, the opening for the large pocket is the actual paper bag. The tags in the small pocket will hold four photographs. The large tag holds photos and extra spots for your journaling.
A seven page waterfall is attached to the back cover of the album. This section will hold fifteen additional photographs. This is a small album but holds a ton of stuff. A lot of work but a fun project.
This is my new workspace from Ikea. It is so much lighter than my old corner desk. This one has an added storage top. I love the storage area on the left that folds down to hold papers etc. It holds all my paper clutter that
was stacked in a pile on my old desk. It's no wonder I could never find anything when I needed it. This desk is smaller so I had to put the tower on the printer stand and all those other plug ins underneath the desk. It works and I love it!
I made this mini album at the retreat this past weekend. I used the Bird Song paper stack from Graphic 45. The cover is one of the papers embellished with crystal effects & raised with pop dots. Very simple.
Below is the inside cover with opening page. It has room for two side tags and one top tag. The larger side tag will hold four 4"X6" photos, and journaling. The papers are so decorative that embellishments are not needed at all. The beauty of G45 paper.
The next two pages are basically the same. There are pockets for full size photo mats and journal tags. Belly bands add more places for photos both on a mat or on the page underneath.
Believe it or not there are only four pages in this album It is made of envelopes, cards, chipboard and a paper pack. It has a hidden hinge binding system with plenty of room for photos, journaling spots and memorabilia.
The tag on the left of page below will hold two 4"X6" photos and the large tag on right will hold four 4"X6" photos. The small tag with scallop edge will also hold two 4"X6" photos. The photo below is the inside back cover.
This album is by Kathy Orta and can work with any theme. Since it holds so many photos and memorabilia this album would be great for weekend trip. It was such fun to make and Graphic 45 papers made it so easy. The journal tags and cards were included in the paper pack. Comments welcome. Enjoy!
This is the cutest 3" X 2" gift box (the ears add another inch) by Tanya Bell. I had to study the directions for a minute but overall it went together fairly fast. What a fun project! Holds four chunky mint candies that I get from Sam's Club. Enjoy!
I attended a wedding reception over the weekend and decided to make the bride and groom a mini wedding album. The theme of the wedding was "Watch Love Grow" so the Graphic 45 Secret Garden paper stack was perfect for this album. 
I used absolutely no embellishments in the album, the paper is just too pretty to cover up. The album measures 7"X 7.25", has six pages on a stack the deck hinge system. Each page will hold seven to eight photographs. 
Each page has a large pocket that holds a folded photo mat that gives plenty of room for larger photos and also journaling. It has a smaller pocket that will hold memorabilia, photos or journaling.
I used an edge punch to soften the edges on the both photo mats. I was out of my comfort zone doing the album cover. I do not use flowers very often on my projects but needed something to give dimension on the cover. It turned out okay. Enjoy!
