Mini Photo Album
mini photo album
This mini photo album marks the beginning of my mini album mission where I have set a goal to use up at least half of the 500 plus photos that I have before I am allowed to print any
more...yeah right! I can only dream. So far I have used 4 photos in this album.
I made a 3"x5" accordion mini album using one sheet of bazzill cardstock. In total it had only 6 inner pages. Because each page was so narrow
I had to either crop my photos quite small or let them span a couple of pages so that they could keep their size.
I used photos from a set of pics that we took of akw playing in the backyard with her bucket and a whole heap of mud. I touched up the photos with Photoshop and played with some of the effects to achieve a funky look on the black and white pic, check out how the red bucket stands out. I kept the embellisments to a minimum - buttons, some ribbon and patterned paper or cardstock.
The front cover is made from a couple of chipboard pieces that I covered with
patterned paper. A girl and a red bucket. The paper is a really old Daisy D
print. I used a small circle punch to get the round photo of akw and her red bucket.
The one and only mini book tag 'playful'
The last two pages which has a photo on top of a pocket and a photo tag inside
the pocket.
The black and white photo with the bright red bucket (courtesy of a photoshop
trick) I used some little alpha stickers to do a spot of journaling on each page.
"Just turned 3 and growning like crazy"
The first two pages with Atiria and her grubby hands. The dictionary definition
paper above the photo is from the Daisy D paper GROW.
HOT Mini album Tip
-
Instead of folding the photos where they will be at the joining part of the album I had to cut the photos in half first and then place them on their pages with a small gap between them to allow the pages to close properly.
