Sweetest Story Of The Day Mini Album

Hello Beautiful crafters!! Today I bring to you a mini album adorned with the Vintage Artistry In colors Collectors Edition Volume I. Not only does it have the best of Vintage Artistry in Coral, Sky Blue, and Sage, but it has 6 new Limited Edition paper designs that are gorgeous! The entire collection is amazing. All you really have to add is the flowers!! I built a gatefold style album using heavy chipboard for the base, covered it in cream cardstock, and started decorating. I machine stitched around a lot of the pieces of paper before I adhered it to the album. The size of the album is 8x6. There is a lot of room inside the album for photos and journaling.

The album has a few fold outs. This is the cover of the first flap which will fold downward. I die cut a pocket that has slots, adhered it to the flap, and after stitching around the cards I fussy cut, I slipped them into the slots. You could mat the cards, and use the backs for journaling or photos.

Once both of the flaps are opened down and upward, it reveals 2 more flaps on the left and right sides. On the inside of each of these flaps, I adhered a Vintage Artistry File frame. When opened, it reveals a waterfall feature that can be used for more photos and journaling.

On the inside of the top flap, I created a pocket for the Foundations Waterfall Enclosure. All I had to do was cover the out and inside with the limited edition paper. For more interested, after I covered both circle closures, I topped them with 2 baubles.

Here is a video for details on the pages in the album.
