Graphic 45® "Steampunk Spells" Gate Fold Mini Album

Update from the 29/07/2013 - This album was featured @ Anything But a Card Challenge Blog.

Hello bloggers!

Isn't it a lovely day for a new post? :)
Today I'm ready to share my gate fold mini album on which I've been working for the last 3 days.

I was inspired by two things:
1) Graphic 45® "Steampunk Spells" papers (how can anyone not be inspired by them???)
2) Video tutorial on YouTube by My Sisters Scrapper  - "Sweet Day Mini Album" (here you can find part 1 and part 2 of the tutorial).

I start to understand that posting pictures of the mini album only is not as good as shooting a video, showing all the flaps, secret pockets, tags and pages of it.... But I'm still not there, I don't have the right accessories for shooting videos, so pictures it will be :)

There are lots of them, so I really hope you could catch the details, and you'll like them as well as I do :) hh










 















































To complete the album I used a 6X6 and 8X8  paper pads. There are several pages left in each of the stacks. 

I want to enter this mini into the following challenges:
1. SteamPunk @ Anything but the Card
2. Tags @ Paper Play Time
3. Anything Goes @ Catch the bug
4. Anything Goes @ Let's Create
5. Without Stamps @ Crazy Challenge

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a crafty day!

  2. Alexandra; what can I say??? Is fantastic. I´m awaiting for those papers to arrive but I think I´ll never going to do something like your "mini" (not so mini). Congrats, well done!. Elena F.

    1. Elena, if you ordered these papers, you are totally gonna enjoy them! It doesn't even matter whether you will use them for making a card or a mini-album, they just add charm to any project. I'm sure you'll have fun working with them.
      Thank you for your lovely comment :)
