Fate and Dreams Mini Album

 I just finished this and wanted to show you all.  I LOVE THIS!  It turned out so cool, and my husband said that it is his favorite that I have made, so far!  I followed the directions given here by Kathy Orta of Paper Phenomenon.  She does the class over several videos, and it rocks!  Hers is a Valentine's themed album, this, not so much...but it is made with love.  (I can hear it now..."ahhhhhh").  I will have a list of the supplies I used at the end of the post, and I also have another example of the collage tags modeled after what I did here.

I called this "Fate and Dreams" because the Tim Holtz stamp I used on the ticket says, "Sometimes Fate and your Dreams Collide"...I like that.   I made the charm hanging on the ribbon with a variety of things.  I just layered up the cover with all kinds of things.  The seam binding was white, until I took the alcohol ink to it!

 The side view.  The closure is a door knob and a hair elastic.

 I made the flowers out of the new Tim Holtz glassine paper.  It is YUMMY!  There are a ton of tags throughout the book.  The big ones all measure 4 1/2" x 6 1/2".

 These are the first two tags.  The one on the left is an example of the collage tag.  I used the Stub Corner Chomper to make it ticket shaped.  The tag on the right has a full mat on the other side.

 Some of the pockets are vertical, some are horizontal....

 ...and then some are in the "pages" themselves.

 Two of the pages have the pocket assembly seen on the right.  They all have tags, and they all flip up to reveal more space for photos.  The smaller tags measure 3 1/2" x 5".

 More tags.

 Some of the collage tags are actually tag shaped.  I used ribbon, because you have to have some form of ribbon in a mini album, don't you?

 Yes, you also have to have a grungy butterfly or two, also!

 Showing the nest set of pockets that flip up.

 And more pages and pockets and tags...

 And more....

The last page.  I used two doilies in the book, sprayed with glimmer mist.
