The Crazy Cropper Scrapbooking Retreat is almost here!! I am needing this retreat in a BIG way!! Life has been crazy busy with two shows at the theatre back to back, school starting, and well, just.... life. Anyway, I am very much looking forward to a weekend of almost-uninterrupted scrap time. (I say almost uninterrupted because I will have to leave the retreat for a few hours for my cousin's wedding.)
One of my favorite things about the retreat is the Secret Sister swap. I am so excited about this mini-album I made for my secret sister. (Shhhh! Don't tell!!) I did not add any kind of title or words inside - the idea is for her to add her own titles, photos, and journaling. I hope she loves it as much as I do! I used this YouTube video tutorial to get started: Cardstock Flip Mini Album
 |
| Finished album is approximately 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" when closed. The closure is Spare Parts from Hobby Lobby. |
 |
| Opening the cover reveals 4 center pages that open alternately, and have spaces for 4x6 photos. |
 |
| Both sides open up to reveal binder rings with 6 pages on each binder ring. These pages have spaces for 2" x 3" photos and journaling. There is plenty of room for more pages if she wants to add to it. |
 |
| The center back has 9 waterfall style pages. |
The paper is the Caprice collection from Close To My Heart, and uses Bamboo, Chocolate, Crystal Blue, and Honey cardstock. I inked all the papers and stamped the journaling spots with Chocolate ink. Journaling stamps are from Autumn Leaves.
