Making of a mini album... scrapbook with Nanie!

The author

How long do you scrap? Since 2004.

What do you prefer to Scrap?    I like to test all formats and all scrapbooking materials.

What are your favorite colors?   In terms of color, I'm pink, it's my favorite color. But it also depends on the photo, it will match, then my papers are all different.

What brings you scrap? I think my albums are more enjoyable to watch once decorated!

I discovered the pleasure to go out of my comfort zone with unusual techniques for myself and create something different each time.

I also like to make personalized gifts and unusual ideas. Scrapbooking is my bubble of oxygen!

Finally, I also discovered a scrapbook community and new friends, as I have ever met without scrap meetings.

Making Of mini album

Mini albums are very convenient to keep a memory of special occasions: a day with friends, a walk in the forest, beach holidays, etc ...

Their small size also make original gifts.

Here is an example of mini album about a day spent at the "Creative Ideas" show.

For the coverage, I recommend the cardboard for strength. Then you can cover it with paper, ribbons, various embellishments ...

In this example, the coverage measure 36.7 cm x 20.5. There is a fold to 17.2 cm and 19.2 cm (photo 1).

To achieve the mini album: I used several Bazzill papers in bright colors. They measure 29.5 cm x 19 cm with a fold to 14.3 cm and 15.3 cm (photo 2).

I fixed the sheets them with two eyelets with my crop-a-dile (photos 3 and 4).

Then I decorated for my taste, printed papers, buttons, ribbons, chipboard, writing by hand (pen black or white), stickers, stamps ... (photos 5 and following).

Then I set the mini in its cover using glue very strong, and that work!
