Long Envelope Mini

This is a little long envelope mini album I made today in the time out that I put myself in. (I have a 4 & 2 yr old. If you have kids, that's enough said, right?!?!)

So here is my little album:

I followed a tutorial from Laura Denesin from "Follow the Paper Trail" on YouTube. She is so creative and inspiring, so easy to follow & has lots of fantastic videos on her channel "Follow the Paper Trail".

I made it with 6 #9 envelopes that I got from Hobby Lobby. Their kraft envelopes are by far the strongest that I have come across. 

I used a Nursery Rhyme paper stack that a friend gave me a while back. My 4 yr old confiscated this album and stuck a few stickers in there. I'm not sure what she will use it for. The albums are pretty quick and easy to make so I'm sure I'll make another one soon.

Here are a couple of pictures of the inside. There is a pocket page on the left and a longer pocket page on the right with a flap. It has a chipboard cover and a duck tape spine. 

I stuck some tags in the pockets & like I said, my little girl stuck on some stickers.

I hope you like my little mini. I think they are darling! 

Next, I'm going to try Laura's split paper bag mini album. Check her out on YouTube if you want to try the tutorial for yourself. She is definitely one of my favs.

Thanks for viewing!

Blessings,

That's what I'm doin these days

This is an album I made for my sister. I followed the tutorial from Cassie Keith on You Tube. It is made of envelopes from Hobby Lobby (by far, the strongest and best) and DCWV Christmas Made paper pack. 

I used a pack of K&Company dye cuts to embellish it a bit. It is distressed with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo - one of my favs! 

 I made the snowflakes with a punch and put a pearl in them. See how functional these minis are!! 

I love making these envelope mini albums. I hope my little sis enjoys this one!! 

Stay tuned - more projects to come!
