Halloween Folio Mini Album

This is a super easy little folio to make. It does not use chipboard it is made with 110# cardstock. Which makes it nice and sturdy. It measures 5x7 with 3/8" spine and 1/4" spine. I did also cut thin strips to fit over the spines and glued them down to make them stronger.



I don't like the cover of this one, for some reason I really struggled with it. It is some stickers and the eek and the house are on foam squares. I inked all the edges with Tim Holtz black soot.




Back Cover


The flaps all have magnets in them to help them stay closed.



That center page lifts up and then the pocket opens up

Halloween Folio Mini Album

 I seriously have a problem!! I can't stop making mini albums!! My husband said what are you going to do with all those...I said I don't know, look at them. They are starting to take over my craft room!!

This little book measures 5.5x7.5 with a 1 inch spine. I have now made 8 mini albums with this same paper. It was from a very old paper pad and I was determined to use it up. I still have 5 full sheets and a lot of scraps. I may be able to get one more out of it.



On the cover I used a cut a part and put it on foam tape to pop it up some I also added stickles to the candies and pumpkin.



Back Cover


The flaps all have magnets in them. I used some stickers randomly also.



There are lots of flaps and pages that flip up it is just so hard to photograph it all.





The waterfall pages have 3x4 cut a parts on them.

Crayon Cards

 These were so fast and easy to make they are from Cricut. It writes the design with a marker and then cuts everything out. You just add the crayons.

Pillow Box Treat Holders

 I bought these little plastic pillow boxes years ago I don't even remember from where. They measure 5x3 when opened. I filled them with halloween colored gum balls. They were just decorated with designer paper and I cut out the bat and ghost with my Cricut. The spider web is a die cut that is no longer available. They were super quick and easy to make and if you can't find the clear plastic boxes you can just make them with your cutting machine.

This cute little mini album was a premade album and just decorated with designer paper. There are lots of fun little bugs and critters and things are popped up and glittered.

I made this from a kit from my good friend Sue Neal.

Halloween Mini Album

 I told you I was really into making mini albums and I am just getting started! I love Halloween and so I have been making a few Halloween things albums, bags and boxes galore.

This album measures 5.5 by 7.5with a 2" spine. I did the spine in a new way and I love it! I had no cracking of the paper when you fold the sides in, it is called the lay flat method. It is from Tamera at Country Craft Creations. The paper is from a pad that I have had for years it is called Happy Halloween from DCWV. It has 3 pages and they are the same design just different papers. The ribbon is from American Crafts.


The cut a part on the cover is popped up on chipboard.




The flaps all have magnets to hold them down.



I made little books with some of the cut a parts.


Each page has a pull out that Meausres 5x7















The cute little spiders are washi tape.

Kitty Mini Album

My granddaughter Brooklyn got a cat a few weeks ago she named him Po after kung fu panda. He is super sweet and so cute. They love each other! She calls him and he comes running. He even sleeps with her. He also gets into all of her stuff. She had cat treats on top of her bookshelf and silly girl thought they were safe up there. He got into it and ate them all while she was gone.

I made this little mini album for her for Po and for her birthday. (She has so many pictures of him on her phone!) It is a tiny album it is 4x4 inches and I apologize right now for the photos they are not the best it was so hard to photograph this. The paper is from a 6x6 paper pad called Frisky by Three Bugs in a Rug. The kitty is cut with my Cricut at 3" and the one inside is at 2". Every page has a pull out at the end I only showed one. There are only 4 pages but they have several add ons and flaps so it will hold a lot of pics.

Happy Birthday sweet girl!!





The scalloped edges are the pull out cards 









I just punched a bunch of tags from the paper and filled this pocket
