Prima Cartographer - Mini Album

Hello everyone!

I want to share with you today a new mini album I've created, using the paper collection "Cartographer" from Prima. I almost finished the 6X6 pad, only 2 sheets were left.

I wanted to make an album with an irregular shape, something that will look like a ticket, but to still be able to use a hidden hinge binding system. Here is the outcome:


The album's measurements are as follows:
Covers: 6 1/4" X 4 3/4"
Spine: 3 1/4" X 2 1/4"



It has 5 pocket pages, each holds a tag and has 2 flaps on the base of the page:







 Here are some close-ups:



And here's a quick video of this project:




I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.


Hugs,
Alexandra

Accordion Pockets Album Tutorial is Up

Hello dear friends!

Thank you so much for your comments on the Accordion Pockets Album, which I posted yesterday.

My second version of this album has 18 pockets and tags, but is the same in size like the first one. I used the same papers and almost the same embellishments to keep the vintage look.

Here's the second album:









And here are both of them together:






Thanks for watching!

Alexandra
