Dot & Whimsy

Hello and Welcome to my contribution and Day #4 of the 

Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L and Paper House Productions Blog Hop!

For my project I am sharing one of my very favorite mini albums to make:

"The One Sheet Mini"

And aren't these "Marbleous" papers and stickers from Paper House just

absolutely gorgeous!?!  You can view the PHP products that I've used -here-

To get started, score your 12X12 sheet of paper at 3", 6" and 9".  Flip the paper 90 degrees
and simply score in the middle at 6".

Next, cut the paper along the second 6" score line that you made, making sure
that you stop cutting when you come to the initial 3" score line.

Fold the paper along the score lines in an accordion style fold:
\(the sample below is using another paper)


Using the EZ Runner Grand and Ultra Permanent Adhesive, adhere the (looking at
the above photo for reference) second panel to the third, the middle (top hinged) panels
together and then the following two panels together.  Your front and back
panels will not be adhered to anything.

To add even more glitz, I used the Large Adhesive Dot and added them in a
dotted pattern over the background paper (see below):

I used a very fine gold glitter and sprinkled it over all of the exposed adhesive dots.

Next, I attached one of the 3X4 Journal Cards from the collection to the cover
with strips of the Crafty Foam Tape.


Look how pretty the front turned out :)  I even added a small pearl to the gold dots.

Here is a look at the inner pages:

For my project, I used a burlap covered mini album, which I thought would 

look so cute with the beach/cruise theme of my album!

It's pretty cool that the Tropical Beach 3-D embellishment blends right in with 

one of the papers found in the "Endless Summer" Paper Pad.

 The inside pages were soooo easy to assemble!  I cut the larger 12X12 

sheets of patterned paper down to fit the album pages and then adhered using 

the Xryon 9" Creative Station...peel and stick.  I then embellished each page

with different 3-D or canvas stickers from Paper House.

I actually made this album to give as a gift to my Mom this past Mother's Day!

She can fill it with her favorite cruise photos.

When designing the pages of a mini album, I like to stagger the embellishments

so that one page's sticker doesn't lay directly onto the next page's...it keeps

the album from not seeming as bulky.

 I really like the life-like images found in the Paper House products. 

I went a step further with the page to the left and added some actual

sea shells!  I used Xyron's 3/8" Adhesive Dots to keep them in place.

Here is a list of all of the beach-themed things that I used from Paper House:

- Endless Summer Paper Pad; Beach Comber 3-D Sticker; Cruise Adventure 3-D Sticker; 

Beach Chalkboard Sticker; Beach Canvas Art Sticker

That's a wrap for my "Travel the World" Xyron & Paper House project...

hope you've enjoyed the hop!
