I Made "Rosa Kelly's Easy Hinges Mini Album - Volume 2" Blank Book | Coral Reef Mermaid Book

 

Hello everyone.  A few weeks ago, I was checking out some videos on YouTube...SHOCKER...and Rosa Kelly's "Easy Hinges Mini Album Tutorial - Volume 2" popped up in my feed.  This is a tutorial for a BLANK book, meaning she teaches you how to make the book but decorating it and adding things to it is all up to you.    

So, I made it.  Then I added a few things to it and decorated it. 

This book has space for 49 photos of various sizes and the front and back pockets have space for even more.  The book measures 8.5" x 7" x 2.5".  In Rosa's video, she uses a 3.5" spine, but I wanted a smaller one.  

I added the pockets and photo mats on the inside front and back covers.

I added the pockets on the front of the first page, on the right and left sides of the gatefold, and I added the photo mat for a 5" x 7" photo.  

On the back of Page 1, I used ephemera and magnets to make a closure for the top flap. 

I added a bellyband and magnets to the front of Page 3 to keep the flaps secure.

And, lastly, I did my double-cover on the front, spine, and back of the book.

To decorate the book, I used the Coral Reef Digital Junk Journal Kit from Imagine the Art Design on Etsy (one of my fav stores).  

Now, come see how I made Rosa's album.  Links to everything are at the end of this post.  

Below is a video walk-through of the album where I discuss everything I did, what I changed, and how I did it.  

Below are photos of the album.

Thanks for stopping by my page today.  I hope you love this album and these papers as much as I do.  If you do, please...go visit Rosa Kelly Scrapbooking and Imagine the Art Designs on Etsy.  You will not be disappointed. 

If you have any questions, just ask me.  Until next time...

Hugs from Brasil.
