Greetings Stampy and Scrappy Friends! I've got Part 2 of my Keeping Traditions Mini Album to share tonight. I'll show the elements that we made last night, and give those measurements where applicable. I went for about an hour, creating what I could.
My plan is to have ONE more session to finish this book. We're almost there.... It's really getting heavy and full, which is wonderful. I'm guessing this book, when finished, will hold at least 50 pictures. WOW!!!!
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.
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.
For this Part 2 session, I started out making two full-size pocket pages. I'm only showing you one here, but trust me - I made one in Secret Sea, and one in Pool Party. Finished size of these pockets is 6" x 8", with a 1 1/2" cut down on the front. I like seeing the lighter side of that two-tone cardstock, and it's super easy to add tags and booklets to a pocket like this.
The front of this pocket looks plain right now, but as we get to finish the album I'll be adding tuck spots, and the die-cuts and stickers from the workshop kit I want to have all of the base pieces and pockets created first, then I'll know what I have to work with.
Paper Measurements:
- Secret Sea & Pool Party Two-Tone: 8" x 12", scored at 6". Turn so you can cut 1 1/2" off the TOP of the FRONT of the pocket. That gives us that bi-level look.
- DSP (2 prints): 5 3/4" wide x 6 1/4" tall
The 1 1/2" piece that I cut off from the top - I used that to make a gusset to glue in the bottom of the pocket. Just to make it a wee bit roomier than just gluing the bottom shut flat.
Next, I took both packs of Flip Flaps - 4" x 6" and 3" x 4", and added them to the album. Just a sample here, but I added them as tip-in elements on several pages.
Going to the 3" x 4" Flip Flaps, I started by making some small waterfalls on the small white pages I had. Ignore the direction of the photo mats that I put in there. That's just so you can see what's going on. This white page is 5" x 6", and with the Flip Flaps...I'm thinking I can get six pictures on the front and one or two small ones on the back - let's say eight pictures on a 5" x 6" page? Sweet!
I also added some 3" x 4" Flip Flaps directly on the pocket pages too...again, does not photograph well.
I finished this second session by making Gusseted pockets for the inside front and back covers. Secret Sea for the inside front cover. I will doll this up with elements in the next session. I'll also have tags and photo mats to add to the pocket.
Inside back cover. I added that scalloped trim to the bottom, glued only at the bottom so it could be a nice tuck spot. Then in my eagerness to add at least ONE embellishment, I added that sticker right over the right-hand side. :( I can still tuck something on the left side. Geez...
Paper Measurements:
- Secret Sea & Cherry Cobbler Two-Tone: 3 1/2" x 7 1/4", scored at 1/2" on three sides to make the gusseted pocket
- DSP (for Secret Sea pocket): 2 3/4" x 6"
I showed how to use the Envelope Punch board to get that nice "v" punched from the center. You could also use a circle punch, but I think this looks nicer.

My plan is to finish everything up in a Part 3 video this coming weekend - most likely Saturday. I'm not sure of the time at this point. Things that I'll need to do to finish up this album: decorate the front cover, make tags and photo booklets, cut paper for all of the pocket page inserts (this is where scraps come in handy from everything else that we've cut), add the stickers and die-cuts from the workshop kit, and add our ribbons and sparkly bits!
I hope you are enjoying seeing this album come together!
Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!
