Happy Crafturday Friends and welcome to Part 1 of my Keeping Traditions 6" x 8" Mini Album Tutorial. This is a multi-part series...hopefully it will only take me two more sessions to finish! In Part 1, I explain all the supplies that I'm using (listed further down) and my general concept for creating this album. Basically, I'm using the Keeping Traditions Scrapbooking Workshop Kit, the coordinating Two-Tone cardstock pack and a pack of pocket pages to create all of the pages that will make up this album. I'll also use some ribbons and sparkly gems to tart up the album at the end.
Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET. I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube.
If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube. If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.
To start out, I sorted and arranged the pocket pages in my album. Next I sorted all of the Two-Tone cardstock from both the workshop kit and the Two-Tone pack. Then I set out creating MORE pages using the whiteboard and chipboard from the scrapbooking workshop kit and the pocket pages packing. All of these pages go into the 6" x 8" Album
I wrapped all of these whiteboard and chipboard pages with the two-tone cardstock, like I wrap covers when I make mini albums from scratch. After all the glue dried, I used one of the plastic pocket pages as a template to draw in the holes with a pencil. Then I used my Crop-o-Dile Multi-Hole punch to punch the holes. I used the 1/4" hole punch slot. Link to my Amazon store is in my signature block at the bottom of this post. The punch is made by We R Memory Keepers.
NOTE: When cutting all of your papers and whiteboard, SAVE all of the scraps! We can use those for tags, pockets, and things later on.
Whiteboard pages first. I had TWO 12" x 12" pieces of whiteboard to use, from the scrapbooking workshop kit and the Two-Tone cardstock pack. I cut those up to make two larger pages, and four smaller pages.
I started out with Cherry Cobbler and Secret Sea larger pages.
Paper Measurements:
- Whiteboard: (2) 7" x 8 1/4"
- Cherry Cobbler & Secret Sea Two-Tone: (1 each) 9" x 10 1/4"
- Cherry Cobbler & Secret Sea Two-Tone: (1 each) 6 7/8" x 8 1/8"
There was one piece of chipboard in the Pocket Pages pack, which was very close in size to what I made above.
Paper Measurements:
- Chipboard: 6 7/8" x 8 3/8"
- Old Olive Two-Tone: 8 7/8" x 10 3/8"
- Old Olive Two-Tone: 6 3/4" x 8 1/4"
Four smaller Whiteboard pages measure 5" x 6". I made these off camera, because I had already gone for about an hour and 20 minutes. Same exact concept as the first set of whiteboard pages. I used the whiteboard scraps from those initial cuts to make these pages, and still have a few small pieces left.
Paper Measurements:
- Whiteboard: (4) 5" x 6"
- Real Red (1), Pool Party (1), Willow White (2) Two-Tone: 7" x 8"
- Real Red (1), Pool Party (1), Willow White (2) Two-Tone: 4 7/8" x 5 7/8"
Once I have all of the base pages created, I'll go back and add some of the stickers and die-cuts to from the scrapbooking kit to doll up these pages. Did I mention that there's NO STAMPING in this album? That's right! I really am using only the materials listed below.
Here's a short video of where I ended up after I finished the four smaller pages from Thursday night.
