I had this idea to make a quick and easy mini-book as a memento of happy times this summer. So far I've only done the cover and the first three pages but I'm pleased with how it's looking so far.
The format is A5 landscape and I'm making the base pages out of recycled cereal boxes covered with patterned paper. I'm sticking to a really simple layout for each double page spread with journaling hidden on tags behind the matted photos. I have raised the photos up on foam tape to make a little pocket for the tags.
Here's the cover:
The butterfly is the Heart-winged butterfly stamp by Hero Arts.
Here is the first page, featuring our recent holiday in Weymouth:
The papers are by American Crafts and Heidi Grace. I'm matting all the photos on Core'dinations cardstock and sanding the edges.
Here is page 2 (will go on the left):
and here's page 3:
Finally, here is the journaling tag:
I've used one of the Decorative Birds stamps from the Hero Arts set of four, plus 'The Facts' from the Banana Frog Journaling set. The papers are BasicGrey - Urban Prairie.
That's all I've done as yet. Hoping to do a few more very soon!
