Hi
everyone! I have a new Mini Album to share today for Simple Stories using the
new Feelin’ Frosty Collection. I was so excited when I saw this collection, it
is just ‘a bit of me’! I love the cool colours and all the fun frosty embellishments,
it is so fun and I think it’s my favourite collection EVER!
I actually
sat down to make two regular layouts BUT the snow globe icon in the collection
kept catching my eye and I kept thinking how great it would be as a mini album
front cover. I decided to go for it! I created a large version of the snow globe
by drawing a circle using a compass, and then freehand cutting the base. Stuck
together they made a fabulous snow globe!
I have
mostly used the 6x8” paper pad for this mini album. I covered the blue paper I had
used for the front cover with acetate and sewed them together with machine
stitching. I filled the pocket with loads of beautiful sequins and then closed
up the gap. I added blue pom pom trim around the outside of the circle and also
added glittery white pom pom trim to the base. I also added Foam Stickers and Chipboard
Stickers to the front cover. I love how it turned out!
To make the inside pages I cut multiple circles from the 6x8 papers using metal
dies. I sliced off the top of each so I had a straight edge, and hinged the all
together using small folds of vellum. The binding is therefore extremely simple
and it created a flip-up effect.
I also made
a back cover in the same style as the front cover, although without the
sequins. I stuck the internal flip up pages to the inside back cover. I also
added cut pom pom trim to the back cover.
To attach
the two covers together I used a small length of ribbon that I machine stitched
to the top of each one. This kept the two pieces linked and also allows the mini
album to stand up! The front cover flips over to reveal the back cover with the
flip-up style pages.
To decorate
the pages I added Bits & Pieces, Journaling Bits, Foam Stickers, Puffy
Stickers, Cardstock Stickers and Decorative Brads. I made one page interactive
by adding a vellum pocket. Inside the pocket I included an additional photo and
a journaling tag.
I
thoroughly enjoyed making this mini album and I just adore how it turned out,
it is adorable!
Thanks so
much for joining me today and happy scrapping
