Hi everyone! I am fortunate to be given the opportunity by Doris Te to be Guest Designer for Crafting By Designs for their April Anything Goes Challenge.
{{{{Thank you Doris}}}.
It has taken me many moons to make something special for one of my girls and I've been meaning to make a mini album as time goes by {chuckle}. I have somecollection "hoarding" ready made albums from ordinary papers to paper bags to light chipboard waiting for decoration but I seem to find no time to give them some make up! But when I found a hidden hinge mini album tutorial on You Tube way back in February, I knew I had to do it. I just can't resist the temptation and finally on this day I can showcase my work after a serious one day full of concentration work.
This album consists of six pages and the size is 6.5" by 6.5" made from cardstocks. The cover measures 7" by 7" made from thick sturdy chipboard. Oh boy, I sure did have a hard time cutting the super heavy chipboard with precision knife yet hard work pays off {chuckle}.

This hidden hinge album is easy to make. I have referred to a You Tube tutorial for better understanding on how to make the hidden hinge binding system.
The instructions on the making process by Super Happy Scrapper is excellent. I have used Kasiercraft Sweet Nothings Collection designed papers to cover the hard cover and punch some butterflies. My daughter wants simple front cover so I go for minimalist. This was the starting point...    I had lots of fun making this album I plan to make another one in near future. I am still waiting for my daughter to pick her favorite designed papers so I can start decorating the pages. She finds it hard to believe I made this. Perhaps it looks like store bought {smile}. |
  I would love to take my mini album into these challenges: 1. Crafty Calendar : Things With Wings (1/3) 2. A Gem of A Challenge : Spring Is In The Air 3. Time 4 Scrap : Spring 4. Totally Gorjuss : Die Cuts / Punches 5. Suzy Bee's Bloomin' Challenge : Frame It 6. A Creative Need : Signs of Spring (1/3) Thank you for your visit, take care and have a nice day. |
Hugs and smiles,
