A 'Scholastic' One Page Mini Album With Tutorial


For my latest Authentique DT project, I have a simple & quick mini album that can store multiple photos, journaling & other memorabilia.  All it takes to create this album is just one piece of 12" x 12" inch card stock!  

Mini album is available for sale in my Etsy shop, The Midnight Kraft Desk.  Feel free to visit my shop if interested.

I've made this project before with the 'Explore' collection.  Click here to revisit my first project using this technique. This time around I've provided a tutorial on how to create the base for this album.  You'll find the link to the video tutorial at the end of this post.

For this project, I've used the fabulous 'back to school' themed collection 'Scholastic'.  The album measures approximately 4" x 6" inches when closed.


The red organza star shaped flower decorating the cover of the the album is from my own stash & can also be found for sale in my Etsy shop The Midnight Kraft Desk.  Visit my shop for more star shaped flowers in different colors & for additional embellishments.



The album has a couple of fold out pages & several areas to store photos and/or journaling.


In the center of the album there are two swing pockets with a tag in each pocket.  Each pocket measures 4" x 3" inches.


The front folds out to reveal an inner pocket where I've tucked in a couple of cut apart cards from the 'Scholastic' collection.


There's a cut apart in the front panel that swings open revealing a place to store a photo.


The back mirrors the front & also consists of a pocket where I've tucked in a few more cut apart cards from the collection.

I've decorated two blue paperclips with tulle & mesh ribbon and use these clips to hold a couple of the stickers from the collection in place & to keep the swing cut aparts closed.

While prowling Pinterest I came across a tutorial that inspired me to make this mini. I altered it & added my own preferences but this is where I got the idea for this type of album. The tutorial is in on a French blog--but it does have English translations. You can find the tutorial here.

Supplies: Paper - Authentique, Embellishments - Authentique, Flowers - Petaloo, The Midnight Kraft Desk, Other - Ribbon, Paper Clips, Washi Tape, Tulle

Below are two videos.  One is a walk through of the mini album, the second video is my version of the tutorial.  Thanks for stopping by & enjoy!
