Animal Crackers Pocket Album Tutorial

How are we all doing today! I hope all

is well especially now that summer is

in full gear.

Today we will be putting together a pocket

album which is super easy and fun!

With a few simple supplies this

album turns out stunning.

Let's begin!!!

Select a few sheets of 12x12 paper which

will in turn be your pockets.

Evenly measure out 4 inches across which

will render 3 strips that will create pockets. It is totally up to you

how many pockets you want in

your album.

Take one of your strips and score/fold about

6 1/2 in mark horizontally.

Measure about 1/2" in on both sides

vertically also scoring/folding at marks.

It looks like so:

At the horizontal folds cut both corners

in an angle like so (see photo). This will make it

easier to fold the sides in clean and neat.

Apply glue to the insides of the 6 1/2 in. sides

and adhere down.

To the other sides, apply glue to the

outside of the sides, fold in half, and adhere

to the other end.

It will look like this!

Easy, right!?

Now gather the rest of the strips and 

repeat the same steps.

If you desire, a half hole can be cut out

of the shorter end of pocket to

create a notched look.

Make sure that it is cut out first

before adhering. 

After all the pockets are dry break out

your Bind-it-All and start punching away.

After assembly, you will have your

very own pocket album to

embellish to your heart's content.

The pockets also serve as extra places for

pictures, notes, etc.!!!

Here is what I did with mine:

                                        I love the end result. Now this album is ready for some
                                                                     great memories.


                                                   Hope that you enjoyed this post and please share your
                                                   pocket album. We would love to see it!!!

Because You Are Mom

Hi there again! It is Candice Elliott

back with another Zutter Bind-It-All

project for us all. I hope that

everyone had lovely Mothers Day.

Mine was spent with my husband's

family and it was just wonderful

time.

Since I was not able to see my

mother this year I wanted to

make something really special

for her. She had been asking for

pictures of us for a while now.

I wanted to find a way of

showcasing a number of pictures

to her while at the same time

share a few thoughts with her.

I put together a Frame Album and

that is what we are going to be

looking at today! 

To create this I simply created a very mini

album using the Clip Board Covers 3x4"

and 1/2" Silver Owire. I adhered the album

to the frame after putting on the Prima paper.

I used lots and lots of layers! Some of

these layers serve a purpose. When opening the

album some of the flowers hold the pages

in place while when shutting the album

does the same. Also if you take a look a

close look at the frayed flowers I used

the scraps from punching to create those flowers.

The little pieces also reminded me of

confetti. Nothing goes to waste with me!

All that I strive to be has a huge part

to do with my mother. The doctors told her

that if she tried having me that either she

would die, I would die, or the both of

us would die. She was in the doctors

office papers signed and all to have me

aborted but could not go through with

it. Well, as you can see they were

wrong. She did not give up. I am so

grateful for that moment in time.

The title mother definitely does not come easy

so I wanted to let her know that I know now!

Finally I wanted let my mother know that

she is a rare rose. The only one of

her kind and that she is loved more

than I can say. I LOVE YOU MOM!!!

Thank you all once again for

allowing me to share!
