Summer has begun!

I had this lovely pack of paper which had only a few sheets used

and I thought it would make a perfect album for my

Grandsons Sean and Tom for their holiday adventures this year.

The paper pack is from Echo Park called Dive into Summer

and it is full of lovely papers along with these great little

cut outs which work perfectly with the photos.

They have had one quick camping holiday already

and have just upgraded from a tent to a camper van so

lots more photos to come!

For the album itself I followed a tutorial from Gloria Scraps.

It measures 5" x 3 1/2" and has flip ups, tri folds and pockets.

Thankfully I had just enough papers to cover everything!!

I decided on a snap button closure as it was not staying closed

as I packed it with so much stuff lol and in order to secure

my closure I had to back the front paper in sticky back plastic!

 

I used some fabric on the side for a beachy look and added a little charm.

You can watch a quick walk through here
