Here's a cute little photo albumn that would make a great Christmas gift or just a stocking stuffer. And it's super easy to make. If you want to see a video of one that was made with supplies other than Stampin Up! you can go to www.paperwishes.com. I watched the video and decided to try it.
So you need a sheet of cardstock that is 12" x 6". Then you need to score it at 4", 41/2", 5", 51/2", 6", 61/2", 7", 71/2" and 8". And the Simply Scoring tool makes this a really easy chore.
Then fold all the score lines and your card stock will look like this.
Here's a close up of the folds.
Just add a sheet to each fold. You'll have 4 pages. And this is what it will look like.
Now in the video they left it like this and put a belly band on it but I didn't like it so loose so I added a spine to it. Just cut a piece of card stock 6" x 1 1/2" and adhere it to the spine of the book.
And then decorate it. You can decorate the pages inside also or just leave them plain and add pictures.
Boy, I'm just loven' that new camera of yours, Lynn!!! Your album is gorgeous, and you totally made it a WOW by adding the spine. Great gift idea for the relatives (I would add pictures that I had of "their" family for the coffee table). Okay, now I expect to have the awesome instructions on everything you post. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
