Photo Album -CC

 Hi all,

What a gorgeous collection Couture Creations have for us. Blues By You Collection So pretty that I decided to make a photo album/folder.

Cut three pieces black cardstock at 10cm x 20cm, make a mark in the center on the 20cm side and fold both ends into the mark. Do all three pieces and glue one end to each other standing up so the middle piece will have both side glued (as in photo 1). Cut another three pieces of cardstock at 10cm x 30cm Score at 10cm & 20cm. Adhere all three pieces in the middle as shown in photo 1. Your base is now done.. I cut the mats with assorted papers in the kit and made two envelopes with tags, two fold envelopes with lift up flaps and three pockets along the center folds. I left two white and stamped one with You Are Amazing.  (just a warning, do not make this with bulky items as it will not close, ask me how I know lol).. I am going to put photos in this as a gift. 

Photo 1..

To make the fold envelope I cut an 18cm x 8cm and score it 4cm each end. I then punched a 2 1/2 inch circle and did the ends as shown in photo 2. I did need to trim it down a fraction but it worked as I couldn't find my geometry compass.

 I hope I have inspired you

to create glorious things

A Simple Photo Album. CC

 Hi all,

Today I have created a very simple photo album using toilet rolls and the gorgeous Seaside Girl papers.. I love this collection.. A friend said to me "Donna I cannot make all the things you do because I don't have all the tools and equipment you have". SO this is for her using just papers, stickers and the ephemera set. I did use a couple of alcohol inks on the compass.

I used four toilet rolls and made tags to go in the rolls for journalling for the photos.. 

The mats measured 3 3/4 inches x 2 1/8 inch. A video gives you a look at the little album, I hope you like it and it is so easy to make that I am sure you could do heaps of these with what you have in your crafting space..

 

 

  I hope I have inspired you

to create glorious things

I made these folders to place photos in. They would be a great gift...

I hope I have inspired you

Book You & Me

 

This book is more like an album that has a waterfall design to show case the photos..  I used a photo of Stephen and I on the belly band to show what the album is about..

 

 

The book opened showing the waterfall design and the two tags on the left. This photo of Stephen at the pinnacles was perfect for the pocket.

 

Showing the photos of the waterfall side just by lifting/ turning the flaps. I used photos for both sides of the flaps and used the tags to journal on.. 

 

Even on the back of the tags I placed photos. Total of 19 photos for this book but I could have added a few more which I might even do..

 

Even with the photos adhered in the book it is still quite narrow. I am going to make one for each of the kids and grandchildren with the 100's of photos I have.

Cut of the tab on the last page as shown

 

Adhere by gluing two pages together only on the two sides as shown if you want tags.

(if no tags then glue all 4 sides).

 

 

Pages now should look like this

 

 

Pages will now look like a star pattern (you can see where the tags fit)

Samples of the same album book design..

A little photo album book...

 

I made this little book to place my photos of flowers

I captured on my camera while in WA..

From the cover you wouldn't think it had all

the bright colours inside..

I love it and am thinking of doing a tutorial..

I plan on making a set of this and perhaps a box to place them all in..

 

 

Accordion Envelope Album

 

 

 

I love this... I cannot take credit for this design, that belongs to the wonderful Annette Waisner .

I had the good fortune to take the class with the brilliant Mr Lance Anderson..

There is so much talent out there that sometime you wonder how can we match it lol x

I tweaked my book a bit as always. I hope you like it...
