Analog Paper: Mini Album

Mini Album with Pocket Pages // Part One // Cover

This week is definitely all about mini albums. I've already posted Part One and Two of my Valentine Mini Album and today I'll be sharing photos of my Mini Album with Pocket Pages. For an overview of my entire album, you can check out the Glitz Design blog this morning. Below are more photos and details about the supplies I used. In Part Two of this series, I will be outlining directions for the album construction and sharing photos of all the hidden journaling I included in the pockets!

Today I'll be sharing more of my Valentine Mini Album. Check out Part One here and for an overview of the entire 37 page album, you can visit my post over on the Glitz Design blog. In this three part series, I go into more depth and you'll find additional images and details on my album construction below.

I use a lot of white thread and wood veneer throughout my entire album because I love the added texture and their neutral base keep them from becoming a distraction. This cute little typewriter is from the Heyday Collection by Studio Calico.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 18-19

On these pages, I threw in some Arrow and Elongated Hexagon Wood Veneers by Studio Calico into the mix. The hexagons make a great base for work strips or other types of captions.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 20-21

I added another plastic pocket insert in between these two pages and left a blank photo mat in the middle to add a photo.

On the flip side of the insert, I added some embellishments, including word art using Studio Calico's Darling Dear Alphabet Wood Veneers. These might be the cutest wood veneers I've ever seen and they came with the Copper Mountain Studio Calico Project Life Kit (which was also the cutest ever btw).

These are "cotton candy" colored sequins I found at the Studio Calico shop. I love the color and they seem to always pretty selection of hues in stock there.

Here, I've added more of my own typography using Photoshop. I also used Tim Holtz Label Letters to spell out "I love you more than all the stars in the sky" and this pretty constellation patterned vellum to layer in between.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 26-27

I love this wood veneer heart by Freckled Fawn and paired it with word strips by Glitz Design.

In between these two pages, I've sandwiched a plain velum insert, creating white space in an otherwise crowded spread.

I also added a plastic insert with lots of options for photos. In the corner, I slipped in "M" and "R" typewriter keys by Tim Holtz and embellished them with a bit of bakers twine.

Valentine Mini Album // Part Two // Pages 30-31

This is the last set of plastic pockets. It's filled with journal cards by Glitz Design still has room for a few photos.

Again, I've added interest to the flip side of the insert by adding word art and a couple embellishments.

This is the last set of pages I'll be sharing today. The little star accent is from confetti included in my Studio Calico Valley High Project Life Kit--definitely easy enough to make, but nice to have on hand. I've shared a link below along with all the other supplies from Part One of this series as well. Tune back in for Part Three at the end of the week!
