The author

Since how long do you scrap ? Since 2001. I am completely autodidact… I travelled much on the fabric, then came the reviews, and the books…

What do you prefer to do out out of Scrap?     I like to diversify, and to test new things, therefore, mini albums, the groundworks, the pages, transparencies, books, the cards, email-art, recycling etc… all is pretext to be invented…

Which are your preferred colors?    I do not have any really, but I say that the recurring one, it would be turquoise - On the other hand, with scrap I learned how to like pink, that I liked neither in clothing, nor in the deco… It marries marvelously with the chocolate, the black, the purple one, anise, the gray .....

What brings scrap to you? NO CONCERN, NO STRESS!!! It is a true escape, for me, it does not have more total there, when I scrap, I am only in scrap ! Then, it is an extraordinary means of exchange, combined with the Net of course, the human relationship between the scrapbookers ones are very cordial.

Making of : album mini-envelopes

Here is the mini-album envelopes that I propose to you to realize:

album_face   (click on the images to increase them)

Choose six envelopes. Then prepare the accordion which will be the structure of the album. For that, take a large sheet of paper in 200/220 G.

album1

The envelopes here are 16,2 cm high X 11,5 cm broad. Thus the band accordion measures: 48,5 cm X 17 cm (4x11,5 + 5x0,5)

If you take envelopes of different format, obviously, you change the dimensions: leave 5 mm all around each envelope, and trace the foldings with a stylet.

The accordion is ready for 6 envelopes: 4 on a side and 2 on other side if you stick the interior of the medium fold .

But one can also choose to put 4 envelopes on the RECTO and 4 on the BACK

Think of decorating self-adhesive on the flap closing the envelope, it is prettier, then decorate each envelope according to the selected topic.

album3

It is the moment to leave your offcuts of papers, your stamps, your small stickers and all the decorations of which you are never useful yourselves…. you will be astonished by being able to place them with happiness !

To use your stamps inside the envelope: you unseal it delicately, and carried out work you restick (think of the double coated adhesive).

You also can, create by yourself your own envelopes by choosing a printed paper on both sides, or then one passes from the chalk on the white face.

album4

Attention with the adhesive used, especially with the tracing paper which easily warp.

I recommend highly, the double coated adhesive, in large sheet, practice and which does an impeccable work !

One can also slip of the cards into the envelopes which will be used as matting for the photographs and the journaling.
