mini accordion album - nordsee

Another mini album in the books. And another craftermath.

So did you see my last one? I was inspired by Andrea L to give a mini album a try. Because it was SUCH fun, I decided to make another one for DD after we took a trip to the North Sea.

I'm just gonna show you the pages. There's so much product. So many fun, interactive elements. And so many dog photos ;)

It's all there - flaps, pockets, tags, tabs, vellum, stickers, hidden journaling, hidden photos. FUN! And the best part? DD loved it!

LEARNED:

Got reacquainted with some really old stash.

You need to know your adhesives when constructing a book with them.

Cutting things up/apart to make them fit your design really works.

Don't make pockets/sleeves too tight or impatient people won't be able to use them ;)

mini accordion album - what fun!

So did you see the first ever SBCfest over at Scrapbook.com? I happened to catch some of the videos and in this one Andrea L totally inspired me to give a mini album a try. I had never created one of these! SUCH fun. 

So many ideas. So many supplies. So many hours ;) I'm just going to share some photos of the completed project. It's on its way to Australia as we speak.

Unfortunately I'm way too late for her birthday so I decided a little book to record this moment in time could be fun too rather than a card. I used the letters of her name in page titles (9 plus cover) with interactive pieces for lists of favorites - movies, fashion, eats, etc. Also included a few pages where she can add special photos - her at 30, her cake, etc. Used all the fun techniques too - shaker, flaps, belly band, pockets.

Hope she has as much fun completing it as I had making it! Have you ever made one of these? If not, I strongly recommend it. How about in a smaller size to hold a gift card? I know there are more of these in my future ;)
