I strongly suggest you decorate your pages before putting your album together.

Pages decoration

I used papers from the Blanket Stories collection as well as matching cardstocks

Rounded corners pictures

3 pictures 13.5 x 20 cm

5 pictures 9 x 10.5 cm

4 pictures 10.5 x 10.5 cm

-         Full pages

Cut  4 20 x 13.3 cm rectangles in the Blanket stories pattern paper

Round the corners

(one will be used to do the front cover)

Cut 2 20 x 13.3 cm rectangles in the cardstock

Round the corners

(One will be used to do the back cover)

On these pages, I put cardstocks, paterned paper or pictures

I stacked up various things (cut offs, chipboards ; masking tape, tags)

 

-         Pockets

There are 3 pockets cut in diagonal.

For 2 of them, I cut  2 pieces of Blanket Stories pattern paper (Sizes 13 and 3 cm long for 13.5 cm wide)

Apply embellishments

For the last pocket I directly put the embellisments clusters on top of the white paper

-         Cards in the pockets

They should not be too thick, to be able to fit into the pockets

Take the 12.5 x 19.5 cm rectangles you already cut in the white Bristol paper

Cut 2 rectangles on patterned paper (11.8 x 18.2 cm)

Cut 2 rectangles on cardstock (11.8 x 18.2 cm)

Round the corners up

Decorates the pictures with paper leftovers (pattern or not)

Add embellishements (but not too thick)

I put tabs on each card (on top or on the side)

 

Back of the album

You just have to sew the 3 double pages.

Punch a hole at 7 cm from the edge of the page (top and bottom) and sew the 3 double pages together

Make sure you are sewing tightly to prevent the pages from being loose.

Glue a (1.8 x 20 cm) strip of pattern paper on the back of the album to hide the thread and knots. Use the same color of the cover if possible

Put eyelets on both covers (1.5 cm from the side edge and 10.5cm from the top edge)

Put the rope to close the album

Put everything together

And that’s it !!!
