"My SUN"-a mini book


Hi there, it's Angela here and I'm very proud to be with you for another year of fun and crafts!
My project today is a mini album dedicated to my son Francesco and I've chosen the BoBunny Down by the Sea collection because it has lots of blueish colors, perfect for a boy project.

It's basically a one sheet mini album, , yes just one sheet of paper and bunches of little bits and pieces to make up the embellishment on the album.

Particularly, I've taken the 12 x 12 Down by the Sea Cardstock, cut it into 3 stripes of 4 inches height and scored each stripe at 4 inches again.

I folded each stripe like an accordion and glued them back to back.

It was a pity to waist the inner parts of the cardstock, so I fussy cut all the mermaids and I ended up with a bunch of them. I didn't want to use them for a boy theme, but I will incorporate them in future projects for sure!

Then, I made the cover with a strip of acetate wrapped around the mini.

On the front I sewed a beautiful button and a gold elastic on the back. Inside the elastic I put a charm made of a couple of shells, something I found in my stash, that helps opening and closing the mini.

Many of the pages are embellished with BoBunny Gold Pearlescent around the wreaths. That gives a precious effect to the photo and lights up the project with a beautiful visual effect.

To give variety to the mini I filled in some of the pages with embellishments as you can see above.

I also included a 'shaker page' filled in with gold and aqua sequins.

I leave you with a short video where you can see a walk-through of the entire album.
