Long Envelope Mini Album

Hi friends,

I always thought that making scrapbooks was really difficult till I decided to finally give it a try and had so much fun. So I decided to start with something small and interesting: "Long Envelope Mini Album"

I made this mini album using "Long White Envelope" like the one shown below.

For making the album I used: 

• 6 Long White Envelopes
• Pattern Paper From Papericious
• Yellow textured cardstock for pocket inserts
• Some plain white cardstock to make the cover
• Glue
• Tacky Tape
• Vellum, flowers, die cut for embellishing the album
• Ribbon

Here are some of the pictures from the inside of the album & video below of the album :)

This months Papericious Monthly Challenege for August 2016 is Anything Goes and I am submitting my 1st ever album for this challenge.

I hope you enjoyed looking at the project. 

Lots of Love,
