Mini Ribbon AlbumsI love to make mini scrapbook albums. They are quick, easy, and give me a feeling of completion since you can finish them in such a short amount of time. And they are wonderful gifts also! Give a gift of love this Valentine's Day with this little mini ribbon love album. The pages are made accordion style with ribbon holding them together. Fold it up or display it standing up...either way, it's a perfect little album to treasure any moment. Front Side

Supplies:Smitten My Originals Card Kit Directions:1. Take 4 card bases from the Smitten Card Kit. Trim off one long edge so that they are 4 1/4" by 8 1/2". (If you would like you can use a piece of plain cardstock the same size, but the designs on the pre-printed card bases are so nice because they are already decorated for you!). Score each card in half. 2. Place the cards face down and side by side with a 1/2" gap in between. Lay two 19 1/2" pieces of white ribbon across the bottom half of the cards, one 1/2" from the bottom and the other one 1/2" below the score line. Secure the ribbon to the card with drops of liquid glass. Let dry. 3. Now fold the top of the card down and attach it to the bottom half of the cardstock. You have now sandwiched the ribbon between the halves of the card!! That's how the ribbon keeps the album together. Trim the ends of the ribbon. 4. Use the Stickease from the card kit and the stamps to decorate each page of the album. I have used the Dimensional Elements slide frames as photo frames and frames for sayings. I also added waxy flax around pictures and to decorate tags. Add your photos and any journaling you would like. You're done! What a fun little album! Note: you can see photos along with step by step instructions on how to assemble ribbon albums on page 37 of the new Spring Idea Book! The Idea Book has many other tips and techniques throughout the book. It's fabulous! More....Here's a variation of the album. This one uses the Little Bee Originals Card Kit instead of the Smitten Originals Card Kit. Most of the layouts are done exactly the same. See what a completely different look it has! Just grab a card kit and some pictures and you're all set to create your own beautiful Mini scrapbook album! Front Side
