More from the "Sunshine" Kit - A Couple of Quick and Easy Mini Albums

6:50 AM | Posted by Peggy Giovanetti | | Edit Post
.  One of the main advantages of getting the Swirly Pattern Paper Add-On every month is that after my layouts are finished, there will be plenty left for other projects: tags, cards, decor and mini albums.  Because I knew that the Wanderlust papers in the August "Sunshine" kit would be perfect for several small albums, I deliberately left a few sheet aside for that purpose.

The first is a Flip and Fold album. I've been intrigued by these for a few months, checking out Pinterest for new ideas. This one uses one 12 x 12 sheet of pattern paper, just under a half of another sheet and a couple of scraps along with a bit of cardstock, some lace and a few brads to hold 9 photos and a tag for journaling; how cool is that!




Before taping my pockets down on the inside, I fastened a couple of brads from my stash and added a bit of twine to tie my album shut.



Lots of pockets, right? And the center folds out to allow for two more photos!

******************************
The Wanderlust Collection actually contains 2 sheets of 6" designs: smaller copies of the 12 x 12 pages,  made to be cut apart and used as layers or for standalone project - perfect for a mini album designed to hold vacation memories.



I'm usually guilty of ending up with projects that are literally bursting at the seams; this time, I decided to try to resist those impulses and simply embellish with images cut from my papers and bit of Washi tape. I treated the package of Wanderlust chippies that came with the kit by using the paints and crackle medium from the Project Add-On and used the "travel" word for my title. One of the amazing Prima vines from the Embellishment Add-On was all I needed to compete my front cover.


A few of the images from the Souvenir sheet make a pretty design for the inside front cover and a pocket and some photo mats or journaling sheets for the next page.


More pockets and journaling cards from the Calling Card and Souvenir sheets.


Lots of Washi tape and a few of the altered chippies.

Another pocket and another place for some handwritten journaling,

And the back. I always leave that plain, to allow for wear and tear.
