Friday Scrapbook Layouts - A Mini Album

Hi friends!  Carolyn  here for ScrapBook Blessings Club to share with you Friday's Scrapbook Layout, a Envelope Mini Album .

First, I have my tip of the day for you.... For this project, I advise you have plenty of envelopes of the size needed, on hand.  And plenty of patience creating the project.

Onto today's Mini-album...

 Envelope Mini-Album

Here's what is needed :

• Envelopes (any size you would like to use) I used approx. 5x7 (6)
• strong adhesive
• matching card stock
• embellishments of your choice
• Silhouette Cameo and cut files of your choice
• ribbon
• pop-dots or foam tape

Here is the video from Youtube.com

• First select the envelopes you would like to use for your mini-album
• Follow the video above on how to place the envelopes (this is where I ended up using several sets of envelopes to arrive at my final project.

First 2 pages of Mini-album

Prior to putting the envelopes together, I used my trimmer and trimmed off a sliver at end of each envelope creating a pocket.  And using matching card stock, I measured and cut mats to insert into the pocket for more placement of photos, etc.I created triangular pockets for the corners for journaling tags or small photos or trinkets.

Pages 3 & 4

Using Christmas design paper and wrapping paper, I layered these two pages; and using a scalloped punch and a tab punch (at the time arrived in my mail) and created pockets for tags or photo mats

 

Pages 5 & 6

 

Pages 7 & 8

The snowflake mat I created with my Snowflake Embossalicious  embossing folder, I first inked the inside top with blue ink (Stampin! Up) and ran it thru my Big Shot embosser.  And page 8 is a library card pocket where you have two pockets to place photos, journal tags or keepsakes.

 

Page 9 & 10

The mat on page 9 was leftover from another project and thought, with the right stamped sentiment in the cutout, it would look great on this page.  I placed card stock first on the envelope page and than layered the cut out mat.  Page 10 is another pocket using a Martha Stewart double-scalloped punch for the edging.  

And last:

 

Back Cover

This is the back cover where I used vintage-type Christmas colored polka-dots design paper.  And that's it.
