A mini album to share today as my DT project for Crafty Calendar Challenge. Our theme this month is 'Add a Ribbon' and our generous sponsor is Crafty Ribbons.
The finished album measures 3" x 4" and is folded from a piece of 12" x 8" Bazzill cardstock. The patterned paper is from DCWV 'Nana's Nursery Baby Boy' paper stack. The letters are die cut using Memory Box 'Uppercase Alphabet Soup' dies and I used organza ribbon to keep the album closed.
I decorated the mini album with punched shapes.....
ribbons.....
and brads.
There are spaces on every page to put a little photo.
Here is a template I've made to show the basic album shape.
Start with a piece of cardstock 12" x 8". The broken lines are the score lines and the red line is the cut line. Fold in half lengthways along the short scoreline. Fold on the other score lines using valley and mountain folds. I hope that make sense.
The Crafty Calendar Challenge ends on 28th July. Please visit the challenge blog to see all the wonderful creations the DT have made. The randomly drawn winner will receive a voucher from Crafty Ribbons.
