Mini Album Monday #32- Album Made From Large Manilla Envelopes

For this week's Mini Album Monday, I'm showing you one of my favorite mini albums.

It's a vacation themed envelope album.

You can go here to see step by step instructions on creating an album like this.

 

 

I made the album before the trip, then came home and printed out the pictures

and put them in the album.

 

I used three 8 1/2"x 11" manilla envelopes that I folded in half.

 

I also used two pieces of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock that I alternated in between the envelopes.

 

I placed photos on the pages- cropping some of them.

Then I got out all my journaling cards and placed them among the photos.

 

Because the book was made of envelopes, there were pockets.

See how the page on the left. . .

 

opens up to show pamphlets and note cards full of stories.

 

I also had a few camping/vacation themed tags and stickers that I placed throughout the pages.

 

When I take a trip, I always keep a notebook handy so that I can write down stories and details.

 

I share those details throughout the album.

 

For most of my journaling cards, I used stamps and cardstock.

 

The page on the left has a bull clip that I used to hold pamphlets.

 

Here's the back cover.

I attached a ribbon to the front and back covers so I could tie it along the edge to keep it closed.

 

Even though I this album is from a trip we took several years ago, I still love flipping through it.

 

I think mini albums are such a fun and simple way to document a specific event.

 

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

 

Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.
