I was excited when I saw a tutorial done by Traci Cornelius. Just had to try it! My first go at it was a Christmas-themed version. I couldn’t believe how simple and quick it was to put together. The hardest part was deciding on embellishments when it was done! And the best thing? EVERYTHING I used was from my stash!!!
Mini Album Front Cover
The album does not have a closure, but it would be very easy to add a belly band. I estimate that you could include about 12 photos in this particular version, ranging in size from 3 x 3″ and 2 3/4 x 4″, down. You could include more if you did not use as many embellishments.
Mini Album Open Once
Here I have flipped open the first section.
Mini album fully opened
And here it is completely opened out. Each of the pages is topped with a flap that opens up to reveal more space!
Mini album flaps open
And here is the album opened out again. This time, all of the flaps are lifted.
Mini album open with tabs out
And here is the same shot as above, but with all of the journaling/photo tabs pulled out slightly.

And finally, here is the back cover, with tab in and then pulled out.
I can hardly wait to embellish my second version – for Valentine’s Day. Stay tuned!!
Until next time
