Hi everyone :-)
Here is a fast and easy tutorial on how to make a 6 x 4 pocket mini album from start to finish using the beautiful Twas the Night Before Christmas paper collection from Graphic 45
Video tutorial
The first 35 minutes will be for the page construction, binding and making the cover.
The next 20 minutes for decorating the album.
There are 6 pages in this album but you can make as many as you like :-)
All the pages are made from the 12 x 12 paper pad but you can use regular cardstock to build up the pages also and use decor paper over.

Used the 6 x 4 cut aparts for all the photo mats inside the pockets

Measurements
Pages x 6
Cut of all the x also the one in the right corner lol
The 3/8 red score line is if you want some more room between the pages.
Here you can see the page folded,
Measurements for the cover. The middle spine i cut at 6 1/2 x 1 1/4 but you need to measure how wide your album is depends on if you use the 1/8 score line inside the pages.
This are so fun and fast to make so I made 2 for Christmas presents :-)
This album I made with a sewing theme using An Eerie Tale collection and some sewing theme dies.
All pages are made with the 12 x 12 Enchantment papers and some from the 6 x 6 paper pad.
There are pockets on all the right sides with tags made from the 12 x 12 templates and regular tags.
Large pockets on the backside and front covers.
Made a belly band on the back with a die ( sorry don`t remember the brand ) to hold a sewing themed card. Frame made with a Spellbinders die.

Merry Christmas and the best wishes from me to all of you :-)
