“These two paper pads always make me smile, I think it’s to do with the colours and with the

thought that summer is just around the corner.

My projects for you today are two albums that have been made with 6” x 4” backed envelopes as

the pages. I have altered them so as I can use them as pages pockets. I have used some glossy

accents to bring some of the elements and imagery to life with a little bit of sparkle, it’s

porticularly fabulous on the watermelon images.

The album is sized at 5 1⁄2” x 7 5 /8”, it has four pages, making a total of 8 sides. So, plenty of room

for those precious photos. For the covers and spine I used the packaging from the covers of the

paper pads and covered with white card stock to match my envelopes.

Don’t forget to get the PDF cutting guide so you can recreate this project with ease.” ~ Tamara
