I'm still on a mini album kick. I started this Passport to Fun project at the beginning of the month, but travel and general busy-ness kept me from completing it until now.
This is a variation on the original instructions . . . instead of A7 envelopes, I tried my luck with 3-1/2 x 6-1/2" coin envelopes. The goldenrod color worked well with the colors in the Dungarees collection. I connected the envelopes using their flaps, which in the case of these envelopes, created a horizontal orientation. The mattes are 3.25 x 6.25", which means I only had to crop an inch off my photos (horizontally) to make them work for this mini book.

| I kept the cover simple because I haven't worked out the closure yet. I know I want to use the button, though. I'm open to suggestions! |
 |
| Embellishments added from the CS and Lite Cutaparts. |
 |
| I added more inside pages with a simple pamphlet stitch. That garment tag is so much fun! |
 |
| Love that Dungarees Lite Washi Tape! |
 |
| Sentiments and quotes from the Dungarees unmounted stamps add the right finishing touch. |

ReplyDeleteAgree with Hetty, Karen! Sweet little mini-album!
ReplyDeletewhat a cute booklet
ReplyDeleteWell done, Karen! That album is adorable!
ReplyDeleteSuch a special little book. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteI like the orientation of the envelopes, most of my pics are horizontal! I may have to make one of these for the NSB month challege. Thinking...Baseball pics, football pics, senior gifts for next year...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to switch up the P2F album! I love how the envies change the entire feel of the album! Way cool Karen, TFS!!
ReplyDeleteKaren I love this!! I was thinking the other day, I kind of wish the Passport album could be used for landscape pics and this solves my problem, thanks! As far as your button closure, how about an elastic cording, made into a large circle with a knot that could be looped about both ends of the button holding the book closed?
ReplyDeleteCute cute, or maybe something with some kind of rubber band closure around the button?
ReplyDeleteThat is really cute! I have a bunch of A7 envelopes that open on the short side and I was a little worried about using them this way, you have alleviated my fears!
ReplyDeleteKaren, this book is adorable! I love the horizontal orientation.
ReplyDeleteI love this version Karen! The goldenrod color definitely compliments this kit's color pallette. I missed out on the challenge earlier this month but I have a few of these projects to make! I love the button but I'm not sure how to close this cute album up. I'll keep thinking though! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love this
