Hereβs my August challenge - the delightful mini album. I do feel as though Iβve been transported back to school exams where I didnβt read the question properly as itβs not exactly nature inspired π but I thought Iβd share it anyhow π - there is a moth and a flowerβ¦.
The love in here has made me feel brave enough to post some of my creations!Β I made a Mighty Mini Album as a gift for friends about to get married & a Maria Memento Box for a colleague who is heading off on Maternity leave soon. Iβm learning and improving with every make βΊοΈThe joy I get from making these are priceless π₯°Β Next Iβm going to tackle the Big Olβ Album as a wedding gift - will be back here asking for tips Iβm sure! What a wonderful thing youβve created here FrancΔs, very happy to be a part of it β€οΈ x

When making the BOA you have to cut over 100 photo mats.
Cut 8 1/2 x 11 horizontal at 10 1/2 & 6 1/4.
Turn 6 1/4 x 8 1/2; cut at 4 1/4.
Cut the 8 1/2 x 4 1/4 and cut at 6 1/4.
3 pieces of 4 1/4 x 6 1/4.
You could probably use the leftover for a tag. Very little waste.
Paper is a commodity...
Did you know you could get 4 - 5" x 7" out of 1 - 12" x 12" piece of cardstock.
Mark 5" on each side.
Mark /cut 7" on each side.
See template.
Project organizer - Part 2
I created a template in word using columns in the layout ribbon.
I then typed often used key terms to describe pieces leaving room to include additional descriptors; I.e., waterfall (wf), thin, inside, outside, etc.
After printing the template I placed post its over the words.
I then run the template with post it's through the printer.
I placed a page of the pre-printed post it's inside the page organizer ready to use for next project.
Love comments and feedback!
I have been trying to figure this out for YEARS! Frances created the "PERFECT" book for my Christmas Planner/Journal/Photo Album ALL in one!!!
