6 x 4 Mini Album Booklets Ideas featuring Graphic 45 Cityscapes and Children's Hour

Hi everyone :-)
Had so fun making this 6x4 mini album booklets using the new masculine Cityscapes and Children's Hour collections from Graphic 45. There will be a start to finish video tutorial for the Cityscapes album and also will show how to make the base for the Children's Hour booklet.
These can be used as a travel journal,as an insert in a mini album or as a little mini album you can take with you to show pictures to family and friends.
Sweet and grunge together :-)

Video


The Children's Hour booklet has one page for each month and I made it to go inside the roof in the Children's Hour house box. This can be used to take some photos out of the album and take with you and show to family and friends :-)
January on the front.


The album folds out on each side.

 And closes with a magnetic belly band


 February and Mach.

When you fold out the Mach page April and May pages show up.

Album all folded out

 There are pockets on each page so a photo can be put inside.


Or use small photos on the tags with journaling.

 When you flip the album around you see the June page on the backside.

Inside the July and August pages.

August page flips out and under is the September and Oktober pages.

In the middle is the November and December pages.

All folded out from the backside.

Without the tags.


 Had to use the image on the backside of the decor paper for the boxed house mini album so then I made a window to cover up the missing part :-)

 Front of the Cityscapes travel mini album. Wanted this to look a bit old and well used so I used a lot of Distress ink and also went around the pages with a black paint dabber.
Used Chipboard frame on the belly band and the metal corners are from butterbeescraps.

 There can be put a photo inside the chipboard frame.

 Made this as a horisontale album but it can also be decorated and used vertical.
1.fold out.

 2. fold out.
Used the pockets and tags and also key and key hole from G45.

 3. fold out.

4. fold out.


Then the album can be folded all the way out.
 

Without the tags. In the middle there is place for journaling and also to hold some tickets or memorabilias.

The other side.

 Without the tags.

Backside of the album.

The belly band closes with magnets.

Old looking picture :-)

  12. I to have been worried to not see any beautiful creations from you. Very surprised that it has been so many months. I knew you wanted to take a break the year before for family and gardening. I'm sure your aware how deeply your artistic talents are missed and hope you have used the time away for good reasons and all is well in your world. I imagine the pace you make things is exhausting but so many people wait patiently for what you will come up with next. Kindest regards

  25. You are absolutely brilliant!! I kind of stumbled onto your videos on youtube (or Graphic 45) several years ago. I am so appreciative of your generosity with sharing your talents with us. It was because of your videos that I started doing interactive mini albums. You are so patient, clear and detailed that I was able to follow your instructions and make several albums for my family to enjoy. I truly miss new videos that you produce because you always amaze me with your creativity. You are awesome! and I wish you all the best in all of your future endeavors!
