Challenge #61 | Mini Albums

Hello and Good Morning, friends!

This is Jasleen and I'm here to announce a new challenge for the month of May. But before that, let me take this opportunity to thank all of you who participated in our April Mood Board Challenge. It seems you really enjoyed playing along. All the entries are amazing and we are having a tough time choosing the winners.  Stay tuned, we'll be announcing the winners very soon ! :)

So, the theme for this month's challenge is:

CHALLENGE #61

MINI ALBUMS

Yeah, get those pretty pattern papers out and show us how you rock this theme. ;)
(Read the General Guidelines for the challenges, here.)

The Rules for Challenge #61 are:

1. Album can be any shape (square, rectangle, triangle, alphabet, circular, etc.) or size (4x4, 6,x6, 8x8, 12x12, etc.)

2. The completed project should look like an album/booklet. You can:

   a. Use box files with rings and insert page protectors,

   b. Punch holes in your pages and use album rings,

   c. Bind the pages together using any handmade or machine made binding.

   d. Any other method to put pages together.

BUT loose individual pages will NOT BE CONSIDERED as an album. The final project must look like a booklet.

3. An album needs a minimum of 5 pages (or 4 + cover decoration.)

4. It can be an interactive (with inserts, folds, etc.) album or a plain flip-album.

5. Only pasting pictures and binding pages will NOT BE CONSIDERED. Pages need to be embellished.

6. Photos in the album (if personal) can be blurred. But blank pages stating that photos will be added later, will NOT BE CONSIDERED. However, photo mats with other embellishment(s) will be okay.

7. There's NO SPECIFIC THEME for decoration or colour(s). You can pick whatever you like. :)

The album I made measures 5 by 6 inches in size. I have used the gorgeous Ephemera papers by Papericious for making this one. These papers are just perfect if you like to make romantic , shabby chic styled albums with lot of flowers.

This album has total of 5 pages, and I've added a tag or two or an interactive flip page for adding photos on every page.

Here's the outer cover of my album I made :-

The die-cuts that came along with these papers include beautiful flowers and sentiments. Almost all the papers and die-cuts used in making of this album are from this paper pack only. I must say that Ephemera is my favorite collection of pattern papers till date, they are very reasonably priced as compared to the similar-themed paper packs available and the best part, they are made in India. :)

This is the first time I made a mini album in this shabby chic style and although it was so out of my comfort zone, I really enjoyed making it. Would love to know what you think about this. Please be kind with your comments :P

I'm eagerly waiting to see what you come up with this month. Link up your entries to the linky tool below before 31st May, 11:55 P.M. IST. If you have any queries, please leave in the comment section below and we'll get back asap. :)
