As I’ve shared previously, one my passions at present is creating Mini books. This one I made with a friend using this purchased tutorial by Catherine Chapdelaine as a template and the gorgeous Graphic 45 ‘Time to Celebrate’ collection:
Each of the pages has flaps and/or pockets to open and large photo mats inside
Some closures have magnets
Others are small tags attached with a brad to allow them to twist:
And another:
And another:
There is a large slide out photo mat inside each page opening
The front cover has a dimensional image created by paper piecing and fussy cutting many flowers added using 3D tape
The original album was created using the Guilded Lily collection but I have another album in the works with that collection so decided to use the tutorial and adapt it to the Time To Celebrate papers. this is easy enough to do if you work out a double page of papers at a time to keep the colour balance of your designs. I’ve also kept this album fairy basic in it’s decoration to allow loads of room for photographs
Supplies:
Paper: Graphic 45 Time to Celebrate collection
Cardstock: Bazzil Walnut Cream
Accessories: Spellbinders Scalloped Borders 2 Edge Die, seam Binding, Tag Punch, Brads, Flat Magnets

Julie this is such a beautifully constructed and detailed album! I love the pretty color palette and your use of these great papers. We’re so thankful that you shared with us at Mini Album Makers this month. Hugs, Autumn PS. Please add our challenge badge to your post. 🙂
This is so lovely! This is on collection from G45 that I have not used very much. I was doing assignments for them when this came out and I was never assigned to work with it. Your mini makes me want to break into my stash and make something pretty!!! Thanks so much for sharing your work with us at Mini Album Makers Challenge.
