Bonjour

I have created another mini album with my Graphic 45 French Country collection, this one is 6 inches square.  The album design comes from a video on Clare from My Creative Spirit's YouTube Channel, I made mine a bit bigger than hers and I have fewer pages.

Above you can see the front cover, I fussy cut the Sun Flower topper and popped it up on foam pads for dimension.

Below is the inside front cover and the first page, the pages alternate in size and they all have a pocket with a photo mat inside.  The front cover has a belly band with a small folder in it.

This is the photo mat, I have covered them with all with different coloured solid paper.

 

Next is the back of the first page and the front of the second page, it has another belly band with a journal card.

This is the back of the second page with a small pocket that has a folder in it.  I left the front of the third page blank, you can see the photo mat in the large pocket.

This is the back of the third page and the front of the final page, it has another belly band with a tag behind it.

Finally the back of the last page and the inside of the back cover, it has a pocket into which I have placed another couple of tags.

Sun Hats and Sunflowers

I have at long last completed my Flip Book, I followed a tutorial by Gloria Stengel to create the flip book base, I just added a few extra pockets to mine.  I used a combination of Graphic 45's French Country Collection and Place in Time Collection to decorate it.

This is the front cover, it mainly uses papers from the Place in Time collection, the sunflowers are from the French Country collection - the book is secured with a ribbon.

Below the album is opened to show the inside front cover with a folder in the pocket and the back page closed.

Next you can see the back page opened to reveal a matching pocket with another folder inside - you can find photographs of both folders and the tags that are also in the album HERE.  The centre page has a belly band, I have placed a journal card behind it.

You open the centre page to the left and there is a pocket with two tags in it along with another page with a belly band and a journal card.

You open this page to the right to reveal another page with a pocket and journal card.  In the centre are two half pages.

The two half pages open to reveal another pocket with a journal card and a larger tag inside.

These projects are quite time consuming but fun to create and they do use quite a bit of paper, so at least I am using up some of my stash!

French Country

I am currently working on a little Flip Book, there are quite a few pages so I thought I would share some of the tags and inserts that I have created to put in it - it makes the post very photo heavy if I share everything together!

I used a combination of the Graphic 45 French Country collection and the Place in Time collection to create everything.  Below you can see a couple of small folders, I used my Graphic 45 Folder die to create the top one.

Next are three tags, I used a Studio Light die to create the centre one, it has a pocket with a smaller tag inside, the two outside ones were created with a Hunkydory punch.

 

Thank you for popping in today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave, they are all read and much appreciated.
