Making a Mini Accordian Album

This is a little album I made for my Memory Works Guest Designer Projects.  It was really super easy, and I'm going to give you written instructions on how to make.  I hope they make sense.  Anyhow,  here are the supplies you'll need. 

*2 small square chipboard pieces.  I used mine from the MW Express February 2010 kit.
*Zip Dry or other adhesive
*Patterned  Paper
*Cardstock
*Scoring tool
*Ribbon and embellishments of your choice
(all of my paper supplies are from the Memory Works Express Kit February 2010)  Go here for more products.

Steps:
1.  Apply adhesive to the chipboard pieces and adhere the cardstock or patterned paper.  Let dry, and trim with an exacto knife.
2.  Measure your chipboard pieces.  Mine were 3 1/2 by 3 1/2.  You need the cardstock to fit inside.  So cut your cardstock into 3 x 12 inch strips.  I used 2 strips. 
3.  Score your strips every 3 inces.  And accordian fold them.  Adhere the two strips together to create one long piece.
4.  Adhere the accordian strips to your chipboard pieces, and decorate the pages inside.  You could put quotes, notes, or small pictures inside.

So, there you go.  I hope this made sense.  I would like to have taken some photos to go with this, but I'm out of time.  Somehow, it's hard to get things done with sick kids.  Imagine that.  If you have any questions, please leave a comment or email me. 

Baby Mini Album is Complete

The picture didn't come out so well with the reflection and the letters don't show the embossing. They are actually more sparkly.

This pocket holds extra 4x6 photos. You put punch holes in your photos and place them on the brad. Then you slip the whole stack in the pocket.

The little tags come out and you add pictures on the brad.

Good Evening Everyone. I just finished a mini album for Erik's cousin so I am posting pictures of it today. To complete this project, I used a mixed media album from Fancy Pants and the "Lil Sprout" collection from Fancy Pants. You can find it here. I used Zip Dry to adhere the paper to the chipboard and it worked perfectly. You can find it here.

I am so excited about our new catalog. There is a ton of new stuff and a great selection of products. I think I will be recieving my catalogs tomorrow. I got an email from UPS saying some sort of package will be delivered tomorrow. So, I hope that is what it is. Memory Works will also be offering extra products each quarter called the "Bonus Buy" program. This quarter, they are offering a Making Memories Slice. You can find more information about that here. The deadline for that is October 30. I will send the full order in on the 31st.

Just another reminder that the layout contest will be over tomorrow. So submit your layouts via my email by tomorrow night at 11:59 p.m. The winner will recieved a paper pack and embellishments from the new catalog. Just scroll down the blog and you will find that information.

Enjoy your evening. I'm off to cook dinner. How exciting!
