Mini Books - My New Passion Part II

Earlier this week I introduced you to my new passion - mini books! Now, mini-books or mini albums are not a new idea but it just goes to show that you don't always have to be on trend to have fun and all the supplies you need are still widely available.
This book I am showing you today was made with Bo-Bunny's "Faith" Collection.
The colors are fun and eye catching. This book was made larger than some of the other books I have made and finished at 7 3/4 inches long by 5 3/4 inches wide.

This is the front cover. I've also used ribbon to finish off the edges in blue and cream.


 Here is a view of the spine and the back page. I love the patterns in this collection.

This is the first page. There is a 1/2 page flap that also doubles as a pocket. The pocket is a transparency cutout. Very cool! The tag inserted in the transparency pocket can be colored. Fun right?! The left page is a a double flap...


and here is the same page with all the flaps open


A coloring mat and a photo mat are held by a ribbon belly band. 


A photo can be placed inside this frame over the sentiment or it can be left as is. The sentiments used in this album are from the Tim Holtz idea-ology collection.


Washi tape and ribbon adds some further interest to the pages.

This is page 2. The left page has a flower die cut used as a belly band to hold the tag or photo mat. Washi tape decorates the centre binding. The right hand page is actually 2 pockets that each hold a tag.



Here is page 3. The left hand page is decorated with a transparency. On top of that is a journaling card that is adhered to the page on 2 sides making a pocket to hold other tags. The binding is decorated with washi tape and pearl stickers. The right page is a 3/4 flap. The front of the flap has a transparency pocket holding a tag.


 and here is that same page with the 3/4 flap open
 Inside is another journaling card from the collection that doubles as a pocket for 2 tags adorned with fancy brads from the same collection.

 Here is a closer look at all the tags that I squeezed into this page. These are all part of the Faith Collection.

This is page 4. A pocket on the left side is laid on top of a page that I stamped with blue Distress Ink and a Bo-Bunny stamp. The pocket is from 7 Gypsies.
The right page is another 3/4 flap but I used a flower die cut that came with the Faith Collection, Empherma pack. I adhered it in a few strategic places so it can be used to hold some small tags.



The 3/4 flap opens to reveal a large photo mat or journaling page that can be removed. The blue ribbon holds it in place. Another pocket on the flap holds journaling cards adorned with button stickers from the collection.



Here is the final page. A die cut pocket from Spellbinders on the left and a balloon die cut on the right both hold tags.



and finally, the back cover.


I hope you enjoyed this picturesque tour of my Bo Bunny Faith Collection Mini Album. Comments and questions are welcomed.
