Gather Mini Album

Hi friends! How are you? Today I am sharing my full mini album that I created using the new Gather Collection! I love making mini albums because it’s a smaller format (less intimidating because there’s less space to fill) and there’s a little more room for creative play than on a traditional scrapbook page. I use this time as a chance to create some pages that are just for fun and that don’t even have to have a photo on them. It’s a great way for me to combine my love of memory keeping with my love for simply being artistic and creative without any rules.

This album is a little bit bigger than many of my other mini albums. I wanted to be able to include some full 4×6 photos in this one so I created my front and back covers to be 5×7. I used thick raw chipboard that I cut to size and then covered them with paper and decorated with embellishments.

For the inside I used a variety of sizes and different page formats to make it eclectic and interesting…

> pages I created with patterned paper at 5×7 (same as cover size)

> stand alone photos that I printed at 4×6 with a white border and adhered back to back

> clear acrylic pages that I cut to 4×6 and adhered transparent die cuts to

> smaller pages using ephemera, tags, etc

> envelope for extra photos

> page protector pages that I had in my stash from another mini album

Let me know if you have any questions about any of the pages and I’d be happy to give you more details or information on how I created them!

Happy Tuesday!
