Making a Minibook with Alena Grinchuk
One November day we were walking with the whole family, just like that, for no reason. We had fun, drank coffee, laughed. I took a lot of photos and decided that I must definitely keep the memories of this day!
The photos turned out to be different – dark and light, so I decided to make a mini album where the most favorite shots were included.
To begin with, I sorted by color the remnants of embellishments from different collections. Then I prepared the basics of white cardstock in the form of tags
Each of the tags was embellished in one color surrounding one photo.
The back of each tag includes the journaling along with a bit more embellishment in the matching color. When each tag was complete, I added it to a string so it’s easy to see both sides of each tag.
Next, the cover was made using thick cardboard and patterned paper, plus a few embellishments and letter stickers. It’s all held closed with a bulldog clip. I really like the result! I’d love to see what you enjoy making with tags when you’re scrapping your stories!
