Documented

Your Day Documented Pocket Mini AlbumI loved the Simple Stories birthday collection and wanted to use it to make a mini album for my youngest son’s birthday. I was going to do a traditional mini album but once I saw the fun file folder journaling card I thought it would be fun to make a file folder type of mini album. As this months theme is texture you can see I added texture to this mini album in a few ways. The corrugated cardstock I used as the base of the album is always a quick and easy way to add texture.

To make this album I took the corrugated cardstock and made the envelope just a bit larger than the 4” x 6” journaling card. To create the envelope pocket I cut the corrugated cardstock to 6.5″ wide and 8.5″ long. Then I folded it in half and used my Tiny Attacher and stapled the two sides together and left the top open to create a little pocket. I decorated the journaling card with some wood veneer and enamel dots which also add texture.

For the inside I picked a few of the smaller 3” x 4” snap cards and cut down my photos to fit on the back side of them and glued them together.I decorated the cards with some of the fun stickers that come with the collection and also some enamel dots and wood veneer.

These cards fit perfectly inside the envelope pocket and even leaves room for some larger photos if you had more you wanted to add. If you want to scrapbook a birthday celebration this collection is perfect!
