March Craft Month - day 27

I missed one day, again. But not all is lost. The first project I wanted to finish during this month is finally done. I found this video some time ago when I first started being interested in making my own albums. I got a 8in  by 10in Strathmore drawing pad, half of the 12x12 DCWV World Traveler paper pack, some Recollections cardstock and Distress Ink; not to mention all sorts of type of glue. And now is done. I did not aim for the exact replica of the album in the video. That would have been to ambitious and it would have never been ready or look as pretty.

A video would have been better, but I have not unlocked that level yet. Here are some photos of my two day's work; not to mention the other days from previous months.

 I wanted a simple cover, since I might take it with me when I travel. Maybe I will add a nice photo of us when all the pages are filled.

 The inside cover. When I started to realize there will be a shortage of paper I got creative. Left over paper from torn pages, stamps, ink and some washi tape and I call it done.

 I liked to make pockets and use the cutouts as tags, photo mats and booklets.

 Most layouts are basic like this one. Room for photo, some writing and cutouts from the collection,

 The paper had so many elements already printed, that all I had to figure out was how not to cover them up with photo mats.

 I glued two pages together to make a tag pocket and a little booklet. Perfect for all those pieces of paper that are too big for tags and to small to cover a whole page,

 Another pocket I made because I did not want to cover all those nice stamps. And for the photos, I made the mini album that goes in the pocket.

One of may favorite pages. I like the boat and the dark green color of the paper. I had just enough paper to make it a double spread. And for the second page I made a pocket and a booklet for photos and notes from the sea trip (when ever that will be :)) .

Half page easy to make. See that pretty cluster of gears and stamps? Already printed on the paper. All I had to add was the photo mats. And I glued the bottom one sideways. Can't wait to add the photos in to cover it up.

 I have nothing to say about this one, just that I like how it turned out.

Fold out page inspired by the YouTube video. 

Now all I need are some photos from my favorite place for a coup of coffee. 

Made out of the very last bits and pieces of paper.
