mini album in a box...

I thought I would share a couple of mini albums in a box that I did up a while back.  I picked up the written tutorial from Kathryn of Life on the Scrapbeach when she did a Ustream class showing how to put one together for National Scrapbooking Day last year.  I have to say that her tutorials (written and video) are well done and easy to follow along (and very fun).  As you can see in the images, when you open the box, the one side is actually the spine of the mini and it folds down when you want to look at the album.  Everything except the lid stays dustfree.  There are lots of pockets and places to tuck tags and little trinkets right along with any photos.  Please take a look...

This first one uses K & Company and Recollection papers.  I love the look of the bright blue with the black and cream.  Most of the flowers are made from the same papers. My favourite is the black fringed flower on the cover with blue centre and it is so simple to create!

 

 

 

 

This second album is made using an older Prima stack called First Blush.  I love the colour combination even if there is no purple to be found!  While the photos for the other album were taken without the tags, here you can see the tops of the large tags that are inside each of the "paper bags".  Flowers are again handmade from the papers in the collection.  Thanks for looking and scrap happy!
