Gate Fold Mini Album

Good Morning Everyone,

I started this gate fold album a while ago but lost my mojo when it was time to do the tags.  I am not a tags person.  I don't know why but I just don't like making tags.  For this mini album I went out of my comfort zone and try something entirely different.  I rarely used black and white.  But for this mini album, I thought I will give it a try.  I used  the La Cream stack from DCWV.  The papers are so pretty with flock on some of the papers.


Here is the front of the album.   The charms are hard to see.  Those were parts of the earrings that I got from the neighborhood yard sale.  The button on the right cover was my handmade brad.  The elastic band hold the album close.

Here are some of the inside pages.  I did not have the bind-it-all wire so I used the 1" book rings.  I hide the knot inside the spine. Link to the tutorial is at the end of this post.

Here is a picture of the finished album lay flat.  It was 2 1/2 inches thick.

I really love this album design so I made two more.

These two mini albums are not finished yet.  They need embellishments.

Thanks for stopping by again.
