Lately, I've
been in a mini mood, using part of every Swirlydoos kit to create a mini album
or two. Because I knew that the Wanderlust papers in the August
"Sunshine" kit would be perfect for several small albums, I deliberately left a few sheet aside for that
purpose. (I'm so glad that I get the Pattern Paper Add-On every month!)
The first is a
Flip and Fold album. I've been intrigued by these for a few months, checking
out Pinterest for new ideas. This one uses one 12 x 12 sheet of pattern paper, just
under a half of another sheet and a couple of scraps along with a bit of
cardstock, some lace and a few brads to hold 9 photos and a tag for journaling;
how cool is that!
Before taping my
pockets down on the inside, I fastened a couple of brads from my stash and
added a bit of twine to tie my album shut.
Lots of pockets,
right? And the center folds out to allow for two more photos!

******************************
The Wanderlust
Collection actually contains 2 sheets of 6" designs: smaller copies of the
12 x 12 pages, made to be cut apart and
used as layers or for standalone project - perfect for a mini album designed to
hold vacation memories.
I'm usually guilty
of ending up with projects that are literally bursting at the seams; this time,
I decided to try to resist those impulses and simply embellish with images cut
from my papers and bit of Washi tape. I treated the package of Wanderlust
chippies that came with the kit by using the paints and crackle medium from the
Project Add-On and used the "travel" word for my title. One of the
amazing Prima vines from the Embellishment Add-On was all I needed to compete
my front cover.
A few of the
images from the Souvenir sheet make a pretty design for the inside front cover
and a pocket and some photo mats or journaling sheets for the next page.
More pockets and
journaling cards from the Calling Card and Souvenir sheets.
Lots of Washi
tape and a few of the altered chippies.
Another pocket
and another place for some handwritten journaling,
And the back. I
always leave that plain, to allow for wear and tear.
