I used this months Kit from Scrapbook Obsessions, to make this project. Here is a tutorial to show you what I did. It wasnt that hard and made a cute little book.
You can see the kit HERE.
HOW TO MAKE A MINI ALBUM FROM SCRATCH.
Using leftovers from this months kit from Scrapbook Obsessions.
I used this package of Making Memories Noteworthy Brads as my template.
These are the Brads Im talking about.
On the backside of a piece of patterned paper. ( I used Harvest Moon by Pink Paislee in this months kit) Trace around The templates outside edge. CUT OUT.
Using a bone folder or scoring tool. Score at the folds just like the brad packaging.
Punch a hole (large enough for a brad) half inch in from each side.
Using the stamp roller and the ink in this months kit as well as the Banana bliss from the add ons. I inked the white side of the album
to give it some character
Cut out the number of pages that you want to go in your album from scrap pieces left from your kit.
Measuring 4 and 1/2 by 3 and 1/2, SCORE 1 inch in on each page.
Punch holes in each one and put a large brad to hold them in place.
Cut the ribbon (in this months kit) In half and place along the edge by the brads.
Decorate your cover with 2 smaller scraps cut in rectangles then adhere a flower with the center taken out and replaced with a jewel. Add a glittery sparkly B and tiny Making memories letter stickers to spell your self.
Crop your photos to size of the pages. Embelish as wished.
I used rub ons that I rubbed on scrap paper and cut out along with flowers and epoxys to decorate my pages.
The last page I adhered to the back of the album so It wouldn't FLOP open and tear easily.
You can find other projects and tutorials at Scrapbook Obsessions to go along with this months kit. The Design Team has worked hard to put lots of fun pages and projects up for inspiration.
