Happy Monday, and welcome to our Monday Motivational! We hope you had a great weekend, and are ready to head into the craft room for some fun projects! Did you miss us on Friday? Well .... most of us were together on a crop, and "somebody" got so busy hosting, that she forgot all about getting the post done! She hopes you will forgive me (er....) her! Let's get on to June's Mini Album for this week! It's a great old style revisited!
July 4th is right around the corner. Why not document your family barbeque or fireworks fun with a quick and easy mini book?
and the HoneyBees
This is what it looks like when opened:
Now it is ready to just add pictures!
Instructions:
1. Covers:
Cut 2 @ 4 1/2" squares of chipboard; cover in 5 1/2" squares of decorative paper.
2. Inner pages:
Cut 3 @ 8 1/2" squares of card stock for inside pages. Score horizontally, diagonally, and across one diagonal (from bottom left to top right). Adhere the top left square to the bottom right square of the previous 8 1/2" square. Repeat.
3. Assemble book:
Adhere 30" ribbon to the inside of the back cover. Glue down the bottom right square of your inner pages. Now glue down the top left square to the inside of your front cover.
4. Decorate!
Cut 3 3/4" squares of decorative paper, then glue down as photo mats. Cut some along the diagonal and adhere on triangular spaces. I like to leave some triangular areas blank for journaling.
I hope you will give this a try. The HoneyBees will be posting their versions on Wednesday, so be sure to check back for more inspiration :)
