Fairy Garden 6X6 Mini Album | With Shellye

We've all been there: down to the last few sheets of a 6X6 paper pad...what to do?  Today I'm sharing a Mini Album created with leftovers from the Fairy Garden Paper Pad!  The covers of the pad were even used.  Let's take a look...

This album was as easy as folding the 6X6 papers in half and adhering to each other, back-to-back.  I used a total of 7 pages in all.  Note: I did corner round all four corners of each folded paper before gluing together.  The corner rounding at the top and bottom of the fold allows rooms when tucking under the elastic strap.

For the front and back covers, I used the front and back covers of the actual 6X6 paper pad!  I trimmed the first piece down to 3X6 and the other piece down to 2.5X6; this is the spine. The 3X6 pieces were covered in a piece of 12X12 patterned paper and then corner rounded at the two right-sided corners.

The spine piece was covered in paper of the same size and scored at 1" and 1.5".  The two 1" flaps were then attached to the covers with high-tack adhesive tape.  I used a a 1/8" hole punch to make two holes and the top and bottom of the spine.  A piece of cording was strung through to create a strap for the pages. 

On the "bluebird" pages I used the Sweet Rolls Stickers to make a custom background!

Left-over strips of paper, die-cuts, stickers, sprinkles, washi tape and paper tabs were used to decorate the pages as shown! Because the pages are naturally narrow, I found it best to score the larger die-cuts at one edge and glue the edge down; allows more placement options for photos!

Thank you for joining me today!
