Hello! It’s me Kasia and today I want to share with you a lovely and simple mini album with pockets. I had photos for it printed a long time ago but waited for the perfect papers to come and you know what? March kits are just what I needed.
When I saw the Chickaniddy wood paper I instantly knew I have to use it in my mini. The neutral background makes the juicy colourful photos pop out fromthe page. I kept my album simple as I wanted to draw the attention to the pictures. I used only 2 sheets of scrapbook paper to complete it! Do you want to know how? Here’s a simple scheme, and the bonus of these pages is that they can hold a tag inside the pocket. Thanks to this you can hide in some journaling or additional photos.
My pages are 4×6, and using two pieces of 12×12 patterned paper you can get exactly 6 even pieces. Take two pieces and glue 3 edges like shown in the picture above. After the glue dries punch the holes on one side (the glued one) and slip in a tag inside. Add some twine (the golden one from March Main Kit is perfect) to the tag so you can easily take it out from the pocket.
Supplies : March 2014 Main Kit; March Main Add-On Kit; March Add-On Kit #2; March 2014 Life Pages Kit; March Life Pages Main Add-On kit; March Life Pages Themed Add-On
As you can see by using only two pieces of paper I created a simple and uniform album, where the background only compliments the photos without drawing too much attention. It’s a really good way to create minis especially when you want to make something quick without loosing too much time on choosing the right paper for the right photo. Just remember to pick rather neutral ones so they are only a background for your lovely pictures.
That’s all! Hope that you are now inspired to create your own minis. The idea I’m showing you here is really easy and not very time consuming so you can easily finish a small album in one evening while watching some TV series on the side.
Cheers and have a nice day!
Kasia
