Time Travelers Mini Album By Gwen Casteel

This is a quick and easy fun album that can be made in any size. It goes together quickly and can be embellished in so many ways

The supplies you will need:  Chip Board (medium to heavy)

for cover and spine. Pattern paper is the Prima Time Traveler, glue, tape, scissors , etc..

You will use 6 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of cardstock for each page. 

Score long way at 5 1/2 down center. and rotate and score @ 2 1/2.

Fold in half on the 11” side and fold up from the bottom

at the 2 1/2 score line. Thus  you have made you pages.

Cut  chip board for your cover and spine: 2 @ 6 x 6 1/2, Spine 1 @ 2 x 6 1/2

Tape of glue your chip board to get ready to cover you

cover and spine with pattern paper.

Adhere your paper and miter the corners leaving

at least an 1/8th of an inch to cover the corners as well
Using the Perfect Trim Tool works great for this

Fold and secure…this is the your side of your cover, we will cover the inside later.

Take the paper you have ready to used for your spine (4" x7" x 7") this will give you the extra to rap to ends of the spine as well.  Tape the inside of the spine paper and adhere the covers as shown…LEAVING at least 1/8” between the spine and the covers so you can open and close the book.

 

Cover the inside of you spine as shown. fold up the top and

bottom edges to rap the spine

Cover both sides of your inside cover as shown.Interior view of the cover.

Completed inside of the cover.

I used the hidden hinge Binding system That I learned from Kathy Orta design
attached to the spine.

Covering the pages…cutting papers for both the top of the page and the pocket of the page…each page has a pocket on each side after folded in half.

Covered page on both side (open).

Use wet glue (I used the Aleen's Turbo Glue Pen)
 to secure the pocket to the upper part of the page,
so your tags or journaling cards won’t get stuck.

Covered pages before folding in half.

Add a page to each fin on the binding , I used tape, you can use wet glue if you like.

Completed adding the pages.

Embellish and add photo tags. 
There is an opening in he top where you can add a photo tag as well.

This is a great and fun album, easy to make and hold a lot of memories…

Thank you for watching and ENJOY…
