Paris Inspired Mini Album using 8×8 Paper Pad

If you’re creating a mini album one of the best ways to keep the entire project cohesive is to use coordinating products. Vicky used almost an entire 8″ x 8″ pattern paper pad to create this pretty Paris inspired Mini Album. The papers she used are from Stamperia and have sentiments that can be cut up for titles, images like flowers that can be fussy cut for embellishments and pattern papers to use for backgrounds. The base of the album is chipboard covered in pattern papers accented with metal corners, tags and labels. Inside she created lots of fun interactive elements like different styles of pocket pages, vellum pockets, pull outs, flaps inside one cover and a spiral bound section on the other.

On her blog, Clips N Cuts you can find a process video with detailed instructions to create your very own custom mini album.

I was a teen in the 80’s so this totally rad Boombox shaped mini album from Traci really speaks to me! She created a rectangle shaped black acrylic album with rounded corners, adding buttons and a handle on the top with a cover decorated to look like a real boombox with speakers, a tape deck, buttons and more. She used the Totally 80’s collection of products from Simple Stories that has lots of bright pink and teal colors with cool 80’s inspired patterns like black and white check and colorful graphics. There’s also load of fun embellishments like a Walkman, high top sneakers, retro TV, camera, hair spray can and more.

I had huge hair in the 80’s and am embarrassed to admit how much Aquanet hair spray I used!

Traci has included her totally tubular signature flaps and pockets in the album too for some radical interactive elements too.
