I am so excited to be here sharing a Mini album with this gorgeous Collection- HELLO AGAIN! I love everything in this collection, the gold details in everything are just Wow! The album measures 8.5” by 5”. I can’t wait to add photos of beautiful moments with my little one.

Let’s get started! You will need two chipboard pieces measuring 8 ½” by 5” and for the spine 8 ½” by 1 ¼”, DoddleBug 12” by 12” Solid Texture Cardstock, I chose the pink and teal to wrap the chipboard pieces. For the spine you need 4 ¾” by 8 ½” Adhere the spine in the middle and score on both sides and fold the paper inward. Added stitching on the front and back cover with my Singer Machine!

The next step is to put the chipboard together to create an album-Adhere the spine to the front and back cover of the album placing the flaps inside leaving a 1/8” gap so the album can open and close. Cover the inside of the album you will need two pieces of cardstock from the Hello Again Collection measuring 5 by 8 ¼”. I added a little pocket in the front. Inside the Album, on the spine I added 3 flaps- First one: was 6” by 2 ½” and scored at 1 & 1 ½”. the Second was 6” by 2” and scored at 3/4” and 1 ¼” and the third one 6” by 1 ½” scored at ¾” and 1”. Add double sided tape in the middle and place one on top of the other and adhere to the middle of the spine.

Let’s embellish the cover page, I added heavyweight acetate centered leaving 1/8” for a border- this acetate has tiny gold polka dots, it’s beautiful! I centered clusters of florals from the hello again bits & pieces – added foam adhesive for layers!

Then, doodle-pops cardstock stickers in fancy flutters & added gold sprinkles. For the pages, I used the 12” by 12”, 6” by 6” patterned paper, and 12” by 12” solid textured cardstock to create pockets, pages, flip pages, and embellished with cardstock stickers and bits & pieces from the collection, I even created a cute tassel with the doddle twine in the color coral! Thank you once again for stopping by and we can’t wait to see what you create with Hello Again! Love Conny!
