NEW Kits from Paisley's and Polka Dots!
Hi everyone, it’s Julie with Paisleys and Polka Dots,
stopping by to share with you a few of our latest kits. First, is a mini album featuring the Anchored
collection. This nautical themed mini
album has so many possibilities for capturing your favorite photos; a day at
the beach, sailing, a cruise, or possibly a nautical themed baby shower or
wedding.
This next mini album features a collection that I personally
have been waiting for, for a very long time.
Accomplished is the absolute perfect collection for graduation,
retirement, or any accomplishment you may want to remember for years to
come. I love the black and kraft color
palette as I can add in any color and it will still compliment my photos for a
classic look.
Mini albums are so much fun to create. They are wonderful for quick projects and great
for gift giving. Our customers love our
kits, they are pre cut, and easy to assemble.
But, there is one comment I hear from customers…they would like to add
more photos to their albums. Well, I’m
here today to show you a really fun and easy way to add more photos into any
mini album using pocket pages. Yep! You know those project life pages…the big
ones, the small ones, the ones with tons of squares on them? I must say, I can’t take credit for this
one. My friend came up with the idea and
I thought it was so clever. She adds
tons of photos using this technique.
Choose a pocket page to work with. For these few pages I’m showing you, I have
chosen to work with 6x9 pocket pages with multiple size pockets on the
page. (fig 1) Trim the pockets from the
pocket page that you will want to use making sure your finished page size will
fit into your album. Don’t worry about
the existing hole placement but you will want to include the spine when
trimming down your page. I am using a
4x6 pocket and a pocket page with multiple sizes; three 2x2 pockets, and two
3x4 pockets. (fig 2) Design your pocket page and insert your
photos. Next, you will need to create a
new spine. Cut a piece of paper the
length of your pocket page and double the width of the spine. Score the paper down the center and fold it
in half. Glue the paper to the spine of
the pocket page. (fig 5) Using a page from the mini album, mark the
new hole placement on the spine of the pocket page. Punch the holes in the pocket page using a
cropadile or a hole punch. (fig 6) It’s
that easy!!! You can add more photos to
your mini albums in just minutes!! Clever
right??
