Mini Scrapbook/Photo Album

On FRIDAY'S BLOG POST I gave you a sneak peek at this album, made with the Whale of a Time Designer Series paper, which is currently ON SALE.

 

Here is a video showing how the album flips open.

This is the project we will be making at my October class for Chesapeake Parks and Rec.  It will be an "in person" class at the Rokeby Center - which has a large space with plenty of room for social distancing.  The class size is limited to 10 and the class will not involve any sharing of supplies - all in the name of safety.  Bring photos to class and learn how to crop and mat them .  Or you can add photos later.

All class attendees will receive half a package of the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper and all the supplies needed to make the flip album.  Everything will be cut to size - to make an album exactly like mine.  If you attend the class - you are free to substitute any of the designer papers to make it your own!  You will have LOTS of paper left over to use for other projects.  Check out my PINTEREST BOARD to see the ideas I have for using this paper.

Here are photos of the inside of the album:

Below are close ups up the photo mats.

The original designer of this album is Audra Monk (The Crafty Yogi) but I did make a few changes to save some designer paper and to make it a little easier for beginner crafters to assemble.

If you live in Chesapeake, VA or the surrounding cities,  I hope you will give this class a try.  Invite a friend to join you for a fun night out.

Details:

• Thursday October 22;  6:00 - 8:30pm
• Rokeby Center; Chesapeake, VA
• Chesapeake residents: $18  Non-residents: $23
