Family Album - Envelope Album

I made this envelope album for my aunt so that she would have a small album that would hold photos of all her loved ones.  I used the larger 5 3/4 x 8 3/4 envelopes. I love how it turned out.

The paper I used was from a old K and Company pack that I purchased a couple years ago. I love the colors and that there were so many coordinating papers, it also had several pages of really nice coordinating die cuts. I kept the embellishments simple and used cream and brown ribbon on the tags.

Christmas Album

I made this mini envelope album for my aunt for Christmas. The design is similar to the fall albums in that it is made using envelopes. I love making the envelope albums because they are so easy. I used the Basic Grey, Blitzen collection. It is Basic Grey's Christmas collection from a couple years ago. I still really like the collection so I decided to try and the use the rest of what I had in a couple mini albums.

Fall Mini Album #1

I made this album as a gift for my best friend. It was made with 4 1/8" x 9 1/2" envelopes. I love envelope albums, they are so simple and quick to make. I used the Recollections fall paper pack from Michaels.

The cover was made using Bazzil paper, I am not sure of the color or texture. I attached a ribbon to the spine and a small dangling charm that says "Give Thanks". The letters and numbers on the front are white Doodle Bug rub ons. The acorn die cut was a ready made that I purchase when I purchased the paper at Miachaels.

 

These are the first two pages. I cut out the pumpkins and the crow, placed them on the page with pop dots and added a little orange distress stickles to the pumpkins. The tags all have journaling spots on the back of them.

Pages 3 and 4 ~ I attached the spiral clip to the blue flap and tied a small bow with a peice of white fiber.

 

 

 Pages 5 and 6 ~ I cut out two acorns and a small leaf from another peice of paper and applied them with pop dots to the front of the orange flap. At the top of the flap I placed another square clip tied with a yellow piece of organza ribbon.

 

Pages 7 and 8 ~ Inside the file folder is a small tag album. Three small tags are attached together with a small bad and I added a ribbon for decoration.

 

Pages 9 and 10 ~  The blue scallop die was one of the ready made ones that I purchased. I also cut out a small pumpkin, attached it with pop dots, and then added a little bit of orange distressed stickles for interest.

Happy Fall Y'all!

Blue Polka Dot Mini Album

I made this album for my friend Caroline, for her birthday. It is a envelope album. I used 5 envelopes that measured 4 1/8" x 9 1/2"  and the granny's kitchen paper collection from SEI. Caroline does not scrapbook so I tried to make the album really simple so that all she had to do was place her photos on the photo mats and journal on the tags. I gave her a few extra embellishments that she could add if she wanted to.

The blue button is from Making Memories.

I cut the file folder with my Coluzzle file template and added the ribbon across the front. There is room inside for journaling.  

The pocket and tag are another Coluzzle template that I have.

Both of these tags are big enough to hold a photo and have room on the back for journaling.

Like I said, quick and simple is my style. She loved it. Now I just have to make sure that she adds the photos to it so that she can enjoy it.  :)

Fall Mini Album #2

I made two fall mini albums this year. I made one for a friend and it was so cute that I had to make one for me too. :) I used Michael's Recollections fall paper pack and an envelope album.

The title is made with Doodle Bug rub-ons.

First two pages.
