Fall 2010 Mini Album

I made this Fall Mini Album with photos of my granddaughters taken this week-end at the Pumpkin Patch and a family birthday dinner.

Here are the dimensions of the book:

Outside Front Cover:  3 1/4 x 10 inches, score at 4 1/4, 4 1/2, and 9 1/4

Pages:  3 x 4 1/2 inches (6 of them)  Score at 3/4 inches so your pages will flip properly.  You can round the corners of the pages on the opposite end of the score line if you wish.

Designer Paper:  2 3/4 x 3 1/2 or 3 3/4 depending on if you want it to tuck in the fold or not.

Photos:  8 to 10 pictures sized/cropped at 3 3/4 x 2 3/4 or smaller, depends on how much journaling you want to do.

Instructions: Cover of the mini album after scored and folded resembles a match book cover.  Staple close to the edge of the paper after you get your pages in the book.  Add whatever embellishments you wish depending on the theme of the book.  This one is a Fall or Harvest theme.  The original inspiration came from my stampin buddy Sue.  Check out all her wonderful mini albums on her blog.

Mini Album Class Coming Soon

My Stampin Buddy and Soul Sister, Sue and I will be holding a Mini Album Workshop on Tuesday, October 26th at 6:00 p.m.  The cost of the class is $10.  Participants will make two mini albums to take home to fill with their own photos.  One will be a Christmas theme and the other a general or birthday theme.  No prior stamping experience necessary.  All materials will be provided.  Once you have made these two albums you will be able to create others for events along the way - for example that new baby, a wedding, etc.  Come join the fun.

October Stamp Club Projects

This month's projects were a lot of fun.  Barb was our hostess. Everyone had fun making her two projects.  She made the Sparkly & Bright Christmas Card and the Owl Birthday, both Stampin Up sets and punches.  Thanks Barb!

Two-Step Owl Punch by Stampin Up, Scallop Punc, 1 3/8 Circle Punch, 1 1/4 Circle Punch, Modr Label Extra-Large Punch, a branch from theTwo-Step Bid Extra-Large Punch.  Woodgrain Background stamp by Stampin Up.  Stampin Up Designer Paper.

I made the Holiday Lineup Reindeer Card - I used the All Purpose Ink by Stampin Up called Frost White, I put it on the card with a sponge dauber after running the card stock through the Big Shot using an embossing folder (Cuttlebug).  After coloring the card with Stampin ' Write Markers I used Crystal Effects on Rudolph's nose!  I used the Photos Corners Extra Large Punch by Stampin Up for the black corner and inserted a brad.
