Mini Album Box Tutorial


My tutorial this week is really just a peep into my scrapbooking world.
I try to make our Grandsons a handmade gift every year,
usually in some form of memory keeping.


This year I decided to make one of my double mini albums.
They come in this little box with a divide in the centre,
giving space for a book for each child.


The books hold about ten photos and you can add pockets
or extra pages if you want to bump it out.
I will fill it with special memories they make during December.

You can watch part 1 of my video here

Piece A - 4" x 10"

Piece B - 4" x 6"
