Pocket Mini Album share

January has been a very busy month, with a multitude of birthdays piling up around us. I wanted to share a little mini that I created for a very special friend last week. It helps to have a focus when building these albums, and knowing a bit about the person can really help in the design.....whether they like fussy or clean decor...color.....theme...if they like bugs...lol.

Ok....so the bugs are butterflies, which is a "pretty" bug for the girls. It was probably influenced by the fact that I like butterflies and dragonflies, and also that I had embellishments that fit that idea. Anyhow, it turned out pretty amazing and she was thrilled, as I had hoped.

The inside front cover has a belly band that holds a tri-fold insert for photos and journalling spots.

The first page has a flap that opens up for adding photos. Also, each page is a "pocket" that holds a large tag/photo mat that will pull out and hold a photo on each side, if you wish....


This second page has two pockets, and an example of one of the pull-out large photo mats is shown below...



This page is actually two half-pages that holds a tag in each one.


The above short page on the left contains two small tags for photos. On the right side, this page has a pocket that will hold journalling tags....

Left short page opened.....

The back of the 6th and final page has a gate-fold style photo place and the inside of the back cover includes a waterfall feature for showcasing 4"x4" photos.
 
I used Momenta papers primarily for this album. The covers are chipboard and wrapped in cardstock for the base, then decorated using the designer paper pack. I have also used a sheet of Bo Bunny dotted paper on the cover and various embellishments, such as K & Co and Recollections flowers and butterflies and other bits from my stash. Basic Grey magnets are used in the flaps for a nifty closure.
I thank Ginger from mysistersscrapper.com for the inspiration for these Pocket Page mini albums. Love how this turned out and can't wait to start another mini soon. Thank you for stopping by and letting me share this little gem with you.
Until next time......   :)
