Family Flip Flap Mini Scrapbook Album

I love to give a little mini album to the grandparents each year.  This year is a little flip flap album that is clean and simple, but full of little surprise flaps that hide little fun pages.  This book is super easy to put together, all you need is 4 sheets of cardstock!  Check it out below.

This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.  Various companies provided me with some product to create this project.  The opinions I share are solely my own.

I first started by taking 4 sheets of cardstock and and Xyron Tape Runner to creating the base of the flip flap books.  These are so easy to make, and kind of addicting!  Check out the video below to see how. 

I then used the Wild Whisper Forever and Always paper collection for all the insert and flaps in the book.  They were the perfect fit of colors of masculine and feminine so that each page work for all the members in my family.  Check out how I embellished each page n the video below.

To stick all the chipboard, papers, and pictures into the book I used the Xyron Tape Runner or the Xyron 3" Sticker maker to make these books to fast and easy to make!  Check out some the pages below.  Check out the video above for all the page details.

Do you make little albums to give as gifts?

December Daily 2018 Book Creation & Prep

I am biting the bullet and doing another December Daily for 2018.  This marks the 2nd year in row for doing this fun project.  Today is all about creating the book, decorating the front, inside, and back covers, and getting the prep work done to make each page a little easier when I do them in December.  Check out the end of the post for the info about the XYRON & GRAPHIC 45 GIVEAWAY!!!

Various companies provided me with some product to create this project.  The opinions I share are solely my own.

Check out the video here to see how created the book using chipboard and washi tape, then covered the book with the amazing Graphic 45 Christmas Magic papers and added a few other fun elements.

I started out with some chipboard I had saved and some washi tape to create the basic design of the book cover. 

I took the beautiful papers from the G45 Christmas Magic collection and decorated up the front cover by sticking all the papers and fussy cut outs using my Xyron Mega Runner and 3" Sticker Maker.  I also added in a couple of pieces of chipboard and a flower, oh and a little bit of glitter.

I also added some of the other amazing papers from the G45 collection to the inside and back covers.  I am leaving the pages blank for now, because I will make them as those days come in December.  One page for each day, but the sizes will vary depending on the size of the inserts on the page protectors.

Make sure to come back to check out all the fun things I will be putting into book each week on my YouTube Channel!!

New York Travel Junque Journal

Years ago before I started to do traditional scrapbook pages, I would make 12x12 books filled with ticket stubs, pictures, and other mementos from my various travel trips.  For this last trip I took to New York, I did a blend of of traditional scrapbook type pages with craft supplies from Teresa Collins blended with my junque style memory book in a 6x8 travel journal.  Come check it out!

Various companies provided me with some product to create this project.  The opinions I share are solely my own.

I started off the am amazing travel journal by Teresa Collins.  It was the perfect size to place pictures, and lots of other bits and pieces into of my fun trip.  Check out how I made the first half of the book in this video.

Check out all the pages from the first section which was my time up in the Catskills in upstate NY at the MKNG festival.  All the pcitures, layers of papers, tickets, and even the sequins are held into the book using the Xyron Mega Runner or Xyron 3" Sticker Maker!  Such a huge time saver using these two tools in making this travel book.

I used a ton of different collections from Teresa Collins for the folders, sequins, ephemera, papers and such from the Studio Gold, Wanderlust, and a few others collections.

Check out part 2 of the video to see the secon set of pages!!

Here are the second set of pages from time in NYC!!

Teresa Collins has some beautiful craft supplies that work amazing together - pick any collection and they all work so wonderfully for any project!  Check it out in the video below to see some of those amazing collections!
