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
I would like to enter this into
making mini albums
It's overcast but dry today so we are heading out
to paint the fences!!
Enjoy your weekend.
What a great idea for the boys Pinky, wonder what secrets they will share inside.

Sounds as though they'll have a great time in the camper van and have lots of pics to add to their album
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely project, Pinky. I'm sure your grandsons will have lots of fun filling it and it will be a lovely keepsake.
