Spring Mini Album

 Hello Friends,

Today I would like to share a little Spring Mini Album that I created.  The beautiful papers I used are light pastel colors and full of flowers, bunnies, eggs, plaid, polka dots and gingham. I used "The Best of Springtime" papers by Authentique and "Cottontail Collection" by Bo Bunny.  For the cover, I used a die cut by Anna Griffin called "Cut Away Circle Frame Dies".   Come take a look.

This mini album measures 6 1/4 X 6 1/4 and the spine is 1 1/2 inches.
The pages are made using 6 12x12 pieces of paper, each folded piece creates 3 pages in the album including 1 pocket page.  I am pretty sure I saw a similar album created by Lyric Lover Crafts on YouTube, so go check her out.  I created the binding by using the stacking method.

The tassel I created using 12 inch long pieces of ribbons & lace, folded in half and then wrapped them towards the folded ribbons, creating the top of the tassel.  Then I made a pretty blue bow to cover the wrapped ribbon.  Using a Tim Holtz jump ring, a cross charm and a Tim Holtz Ring Fastener I hung the tassel from the spine.  Here is a close up of the tassel.

The cover was created using an Anna Griffin Die cut.  I cut it out about 7 times in white cardstock and stacked them on top of each other.  Then the top layer I cut out of pastel green shimmer cardstock, adhered it with glue to the top. I cut 2 more, one of pastel pink shimmer cardstock and one of pastel yellow cardstock.  Then I fussy cut the flowers.  Added them to the top and added white and pink flat backed pearls. 

Below be sure to check out my YouTube video to see all the pages of the album.
