Word Chipboard Mini album Instructions
"Great idea to make a Name scrapbook"
This fun scrapbook is similar to the
Irregular chipboard
mini album. It's layered
pages will allow you to take a name or word to create a unique mini album. Want
to make a baby gift mini album? Simply use the letters from the word "BABY' as
per the example diagrams below.
A Name Scrapbook
Another cool twist on this concept is to use this concept
is to create a mini book based on a persons name. Each album may take a little
time to create as you will need to vary the lengths of each page and play with
the letter widths to create pages with potential to hold photos, journaling and
other scrapbook embellishments.
Special Occasions Mini Album
Why not create a name album for any special events that
you have celebrated and wish to create a keepsake for. A "Christmas" or "XMAS"
album, an "ITALY" album for the holiday you spent abroad, you get the idea.
Baby Mini
Album Example
For this album I used four 7"x5" pieces of chipboard to
form the pages. I roughly sketched each letter from the word 'BABY' on to four
pieces of scrap paper of the same size to use as a template. I started with the
'Y' first and then worked backwards to the 'B'. Through trial and error I
settled on the outlay below.
I traced the letters on to the chipboard pages and cut
them out making any necessary adjustments as required. The binding holes were
punched approximately 1" from the top and 1"
from the bottom of each page. Punch the holes on one sheet first then use that
piece as a template and place it upon each of the other pages.
I then decorated the pages and assembled the album using
binder rings from the local stationary store.
Hints and tips
If you're not happy with the width of the front cover,
simply extend it by an inch or so to the left of the letter. You will also need to extend the rest of the
pages by an inch to keep them uniform.
