Hey
everyone! I have a really cute teeny tiny mini album to share today for Simple
Stories using the Spooky Nights collection.
I was
really inspired by the 2x2” squares on the 2x2/4x4 Elements paper. I cut them
all into squares and distressed the edges of each. These became the pages of my
mini album. I wanted to intersperse some plain pages amongst the patterned
squares so I cut some squares from black card the same size.
To make the
album I took a long piece of ribbon and laid it out flat on the table. I then
applied tape to the squares and sandwiched the ribbon between them. I left a
small gap between each square to allow for the to be concertina folded. Upon
adding the black squares, I also attached vellum overlays to these squares.
I machine
stitched around each square using black thread on my sewing machine. This is
decorative but also serves to hold the ribbon securely in place.
To make the
front cover I used the haunted house ephemera piece from the Bits and Pieces
pack. I decorated it with gold glitter detail and I backed it with black card.
I attached one of the squares to the front cover. At this point I also had to
attach a second length of ribbon to act as the closure. I made a back cover too
by sticking two more pieces of ephemera back to back. These were from the
Journal Bits pack.
To decorate
my little pages I added all the small things I could find: enamel dots, small
chipboard pieces, and Cardstock Stickers. The pages are so tiny that they
didn’t need too much embellishing! I added my photos to the flip-up pages and
either added more photos to the overlays or embellished those as well. There
are eight photos in this cute book!
I really
hope you have enjoyed seeing this teeny tiny mini book come together, it is
super cute!
Happy scrapping
