Accordion mini album

This album is really easy to make.  I found the instructions on Pinterest to create an accordion album.    I used these instructions. The only thing I changed was using additional pieces of card stock to cover the backside of the thin cardboard I used for the front and back cover.  This would be a personal preference.  I think it gives it a more finished look to not be able to see the cardboard when you open up the album.  It will stick out a little since the covers are cut bigger.  I just used a cereal box for the cardboard.  This album uses the Documented paper pack.  It's a great way to create a small brag book or gift for someone.  

Supplies used to create this project are:

Documented paper

Documented complements

Liquid glass

Bone folder

Quotable Words (D1786)

Whisper thick twine

If you have any questions on creating this feel free to comment below.  Also would you prefer if I take photos while creating in addition to the finished project?  Please comment and let me know that too.  Thanks!

Mother's Day mini album

I made my Mother-in-law a cute mini album for Mother's day.  She always wants pictures of the kids but likes good old fashioned hard copies.  Which is something I can appreciate.  I've never made my own before but thought I'd give it a shot.  I kept the colors more neutral with some glacier as an accent color.  I mixed patterns since I kept all the colors similar.  I also used some gold polka dot washi tape.  The paper was cut to 6x12 and attached together by washi tape.  

Here I stamped all the images and then went over them with liquid glass.

This is the inside, I used the washi to create a couple flaps for additional photos.

  I used double sided paper so that helped with coordinating the paper.  This is the backside.  I used liquid glass to secure the ribbon under the back cover.

Just a few of the pictures that I included in the album.

Overall this album wasn't really difficult and would be very easy for a beginner.  *Here's a tip too:  I don't have a score board yet so I did improvise by using the groove of my paper cutter and a boning tool.
