Wedding Bells Mini Book back

This book was created for several of my friends that had gotten married in a short time span. I made each of them an album with their colors in mind.


The book is designed to fit into an 8.5x11 stationary box. The mats are 4x6 and can hold 5x3 photos. one mat is designed to be a pocket for journaling and other keepsakes.


I was able to cut the bell shape from a 12x12 sheet of paper. and use the scraps for the mats. The curve of the ribbon is what makes the oval for the pocket mat. I just made it even on both sides by hand with a pencil and an exacto knife. The flowers are even punched out of what paper was left. Making effective use of expensive shinny paper.


Other things I used: Clear sheets of acetate. Stamped with Staz-on. Various Journaling stamps on scraps of paper. And lots of gems. To bind: I used ball chain.
