Penny’s Paper Doll Family 
Mini Album and Paper Dolls Gift Set

By Alexandra Morein

“Hello dear G45ers! I couldn’t hold myself off creating a playset with the paper dolls using the Penny’s Paper Doll Family collection, but I wanted it to be functional too, so I combined the play set idea and a mini album together.

The album has 6 dimensional envelope-style pages for at least 10 pictures each, as well as a little vellum envelope which holds all the cut out figures of the dolls and their accessories. The envelopes are bound to the spine with the twine and the whole construction is flexible and easy to flip through. The album has a fabric cover and is kept closed with a ribbon.

There is a video tutorial for this project and I hope you will enjoy creating a similar album. In the beginning of the video you will also find an overview of the book.” ~Alexandra
