Bella Blvd | Mini Album...

Hello Friends! Just popping in to share this mini album I created for my daughter to document her travel memories in. She has recently had her first solo adventure overseas and came home with the most amazing photos and stories. What better way to document than in a little 4x4 mini album..

For more details, head on over to the Bella blog to see the album in full detail.

Bella Blvd | Secrets of the Sea mini album...

Hi Everyone! Today I want to share a project that I featured over on my Instagram for Bella Blvd. It's a mini album created using the Secrets of the Sea Boy collection. I love this 4x4 mini album size, as I can slip my Instagram photos straight in with minimal fuss!

I found my album's title quote on Pinterest and I think it suits this project perfectly!

"Bare Feet & Salty Hair"

products used: mini album - We R Memory Keepers 4x4 (black); pp - Bella Blvd (Secrets of the Sea Boy); alpha - Bella Blvd: Secrets of the Sea Boy Fundamentals; embellishments - Bella Blvd: Secrets of the Sea Boy Designer clips, paper pieces, puffy icon stickers; other - cardstock, machine stitching, typewriter.

Each 4x4 Instagram photo was mounted onto patterned paper and off set on the opposite page insert with a die cut paper piece, puffy sticker icon or a few notes  of journaling.

Some of my photos were posed but most of them are a capture of our family holiday in-the-moment snapshots.

The Bella Blvd Secret of the Sea boy collection was simply ideal for documenting our Summer holiday. I hope I have inspired you to also create a project using this collection the next time you pull out beach photos to scrap! Thanks so much for visiting..x

Bella Blvd | Delight in His Day mini album...

Hey Everyone!

I'm just checking in here with a quick step by step mini album using one sheet of cardstock and the super cute Bella BLVD & Illustrated Faith | Delight in His Day collection!

This mini folds down to 4"x4". I will attach a copy of the Pinterest template I found on line as well as the instruction. The original blog post can be found here. This link is for the base mini album only.

Instructions are as follows:

First cut along all the lines (that are not dotted) and then fold:
A: fold top center to the right. apply adhesive to top and bottom edges of right square and attach to create a pocket.
B: fold down.
C: fold top left square down. Apply adhesive to right and bottom edges of center left square and attach to create a pocket. fold under center square.
D: fold to the right.
E: fold bottom right square to the left.
F: fold edge of square to the right on 1" mark. apply adhesive to flaps to create two pockets.
G: fold bottom left square to the right.
Fold up to close.

Once the base cardstock mini has been created, I have added 3.75" squares of patterned paper to each 4"x4" section. Keep in mind though as you fold the card, to line up the patterned papers so they don't appear upside down as the mini is opened.

Folding the mini back to the 4"x4" size can be a little tricky. It might take a few tries to get it to lay flat or find the right way to fold it in on itself. *grin* I had to this attempt several times!

Finally embellish using the gorgeous paper pieces from Delight in His Day and those fun puffy heart stickers!!

I have left room in this mini for several photos measuring 3"x2", but I am sure you can easily substitute a 4"x4" paper for a square Instagram photo.

Have fun putting your album together! Once you have all the supplies sitting in front of you, it takes next to no time to create.  Thanks for visiting..x
