Hi everyone! Nancy here today to share with you a mini album I made using the gorgeous Vintage Mint kit featuring the Hope Chest collection from Pink Paislee.
I have a lot of chipboard sheets lying around and thought it would be fun to create my own mini album. I started with two sheets of 6×8 inch chipboard.
I scored each at two inches along the long side.
And then cut the center out of one of the sheets (approximately 4×4).
I glued the two inch pieces together to create the binding of my album.
Then I poked holes with roughly a 1/2 inch spacing, one inch from the top and the bottom.
and painted the chipboard.
I then created the registers by folding a two pieces of 6×12 patterned paper in half, one inside the other, and poked a hole one inch from the top and bottom in the center fold.
I created four of these registers. I then ran baker's twine , from the Hydrangea Hippo Etsy shop, from the back of the chipboard, through the registers and back through the chipboard. I then tied the twine tightly.
Once I completed all four registers I covered the chipboard with patterned paper and embellished it heavily.
This kit is full of so many gorgeous goodies; flowers, vinyl pieces, and the most beautiful feathers, not to mention the incredible trims. Finally I added a few butterflies that I printed and cut from the Internet.
I will be back in a couple of weeks to share with you some of the inside pages.
Hugs.
Nancy
