Hello again! Kelly Xenos here with my next project as your July Guest Designer. Today I want to share with you a mini book I made with the Summertime collection. It has been a long time since I put together a mini and I forgot how much I love them! And with this collection it was super simple because everything coordinates so well.
This album is all about a trip to Great America with my family and I figured a mini book was the perfect way to capture this day!
To create the cover I stamped black ink on kraft cardstock with the Summer roller stamp. I simply stamped over and over and over until I had an area that was 4"x6". I am using 4"x4" and 4"x6" photos in this album so I made the entire album 4"x6". After I cut the front cover I ran it through my sewing machine and added a puffy yellow star and a label for the title and date.
Inside the album I used a mix of Summertime patterned papers and 3"x3" memory cards for my journaling. Once everything was organized in the right order I used a hole punch and metal rings to hold everything together.
Below is the entire album and you can click on each photo to see a larger image.
For the last page I used my favorite photo from the day of my two brothers on the roller coaster X-Flight, and the same patterned paper I used on the inside of the front cover. The geotag that is stamped throughout the album is from the Summertime clear stamp set and I love the size of it!
Here is the back of the album. I used the same technique as I used for the front and then ran it through my sewing machine.
Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you back here next week with my final post!
