Don't worry Pauline that is fine. Hope you are feeling better soon. There are so many nasty things around. I had 13 in a class today and two had gone by lunchtime not feeling well!! Hope it wasn't my class? Laughing No I'm sure it wasn't!!

Mini Album with pockets.

When you go away on holiday do you, like me, collect all sorts of ephemera?
Brochures, tickets and all sorts of odds and ends that bring back memories of your time away. Then this is the perfect little mini album to take along with you as it has plenty of places to tuck all those pieces into as well as place to write in too.

Jan 31st - Mini Albums - Deadline - Feb 1st Cb_min12

I started out by making a bunch of 6 x 6 envelopes out of neutral cardstock using the We Are Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board.
(If you are interested; I have a "how to" post here....

Jan 31st - Mini Albums - Deadline - Feb 1st Cb_blo12
I then started to bind the envelopes using decorative tape to create the pages. Lay two envelopes together and join with tape.

Jan 31st - Mini Albums - Deadline - Feb 1st Cb_blo13
Fold the right side envelope over to the left and add more tape to secure. Repeat to build up your pages.
For my album I have a set of 3 pages and a set of 7.

Jan 31st - Mini Albums - Deadline - Feb 1st Cb_blo14
Put together the outer covers from the Shoal Cover Kit; cover one side of and envelope with glue and glue in place.

Jan 31st - Mini Albums - Deadline - Feb 1st Cb_blo15
Fold the "flap" of the envelope over to the front of the cover.

Jan 31st - Mini Albums - Deadline - Feb 1st Cb_min13
Paint the covers with fluid acrylics and stamp the Oriental image with archival ink.

Jan 31st - Mini Albums - Deadline - Feb 1st Cb_min14
Paint the fish front piece white. Then add a layer of crackle glaze. Use Antiquing Cream to add colour and seal with Matte Finish Acrylic Sealer. Glue to the book.

Jan 31st - Mini Albums - Deadline - Feb 1st Cb_min15
Cut and create a signature and sew it onto the spine of the book in the gap between the two envelope sections. Glue the pages to the envelopes.

Jan 31st - Mini Albums - Deadline - Feb 1st Cb_min17
To finish, sew some molded sea shells onto the loose threads.

Materials
