{Scrappy Goodness} Smile Mini Album

Hello, Today I wanted to share a simple mini album wallet that I created using my kit from FotoBella  this month,  Simple Stories So Fancy Line.

I watched a couple of different wallet ideas on You Tube and decided I wanted to adjust them to fit my needs.  I wanted to use 3x4 pictures and use the majority of the Sn@p Cards or the cut apart sheets.  I watched this video and this video.

My mini album is 4x6 when all folded up.  I used 6- 3x4 photos but you could so many more!  If you put a photo in every possible location you could have a least 12-3x4 pictures and 2 or 3 4x6 photos.  You will be able to see as we go through where you could easily add more photos.

Front cover all closed up:

I created a little pocket for tags.  You could skip that and add a smaller 3x4 photo here.

When open this is 6x12.  The middle section are the accordion folds that hold my pictures

The bottom portion flipped up.  I didn't add anything to the top but again you could add another picture here.  I decided to add tags at the bottom but you could skip that and add more photos if you wanted. 

Left Front of the accordion fold part.  You could add another photo there.  

The center section

These are the back sides of the accordion fold out part.  You could easily add up to four more photos here.

The back side all folded up.

Below is the front and back completely unfolded.

Hope you enjoyed this little project!  They are really easy and fun to make.

{Scrappy Goodness} Summer Micro Mini

I have a love affair to confess to you today.  I love mini albums!  I am addicted to watching tutorials on you tube.  There are some amazing ideas out there.  I came across this one and thought it was such a cute idea.  I created this mini album using the Carta Bella Kit Soak Up the Sun, from FotoBella.  I modified the size to make it a little so I could use my canon selphy printer to print pictures, so I was a little limited in size.  Other than that I followed the video.

I started with the stripped paper.  Cut the two strips and scored to them in order to fold.  My strips are cute at 2.5x12 and then scored at 2".

For my cover, I painted them with gesso and the sprayed them with ink/mist similar to these.

I then wrapped the covers with the washi tape that comes with the collection. here and here.

This is what it looks like once we add the folded pages inserted to the covers.

This is the finished product summer tiny and cute.

 These are my tags.  Some of them I added stickers to and some I left plain to add pictures or journaling.

Finished inside cover.

And a few of my finished pages:

{Scrappy Goodness}Scrapbooking Wallet Mini

Welcome!  Today I wanted to share a scrapbooking wallet that I created using the Basic Grey Prism Bundle from FotoBella.

I started with this YouTube video.  I modified it slightly so that it would fit my accordion album that is finished 4x6 in size.  I started with a piece of 8.5x11 paper and cut it down to be 10 3/8"x 7".  I then scored at 2 1/2", 2 5/8", 6 3/4" and 6 7/8".  I then rounded my corners and folded.

Once I had my base, I started adding patterned paper where I wanted.  For the hinged sides I cut a piece of paper that was 4"x4" and scored every 1/2" to create the hinge.  I glued on either side and then carefully glued it all closed.

                                             

                                      

From there I created my accordion album. I wanted the finished size to be 4x6.  Once I cut and scored enough pages to be the finished size I wanted, I started adding paper and embellishing. 

There is room for 7 larger photos and several tags.  I hope you enjoyed and will decide to make one of your own.  They make super easy, quick and fun gifts.

Have a beautiful day! Smiles, Jessica

{Scrappy Goodness} Artisan Style Mini Album

Today I'm sharing a quick mini album I put together.  I used the Graphic 45 Artisan Style Bundle from FotoBella. There are several great tutorials on you tube for making mini albums.  I used this one for my basic hinge design and modified as I wanted.
