Mini album

Begin with a 12 x 12" piece of good quality, double sided paper. Score at 3", 6" & 9".  Rotate 1/4 turn and score at 4" & 8"





 



Rotate back a 1/4 turn, and fold all the corners in until they meet the 3" lines.  Punch out two parallel semi circles, halfway down the two sides.













Fold the two sides in.






 





 Tuck the bottom under.







 
 


Then tuck the top under.

 
Turn over, so that it looks like the photo on the right.






Then tuck the open edge, carefully, into the two diagonals of the layer below.  







It should now look like this.

Fold these two 'inside pages' together.

Next cut some journal cards/photo mats.  You will need 4 approximately
 2 7/8" x 3 3/4"

These insert into the two inside pages, which you can access by folding them away from each other, rather than together.

And the other two slot into the back and front pockets.

A few simple decorations on the front, and all that's left to do is add some photos and journalling.  Alternatively, you could stamp some verses and pictures/images.


Have fun,
Christine.
