Hey friends, how are you? Today, I’m sharing with you a mini album that I made for my husband for Father’s Day. I don’t often do scrapbooking / memory keeping, so this made a nice change and it’s quite a good discrete project to work on, rather than be overwhelmed by starting a full-on scrapbook!
If you’d like to see a flip-through of the final book, I’ve got a video over on my YouTube channel, here:
The design of the book is called a “meander book” and is really simple to make – all you need is one sheet of 12×12 paper! I watched a tutorial for it on YouTube (there’s several, but here’s one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okn1IRZH6as).
Here are the supplies that I used:
Cover: Do It Yourself 12×12 paper pad from American Crafts (looks like this may have been discontinued but there is a similar paper in this pad); Ephemera card from Time for Tea Designs Sweet Summer ephemera pack
Main paper (for the pages): Under Sea Adventures 12×12 paper from Echo Park Paper Co
Journaling cards for decoration throughout – from my stash (sorry! I have no idea where they are from but there are tonnes of similar options on Scrapbook.com)
Page 1 insert: Miss Modern Ephemera pack by The Stamp Market
Page 2 insert: Tag die from this memory keeping essential die set by Time for Tea Designs
Page 3 – ticket from the same Stamp Market set as above, popcorn cup from Movie Night stamp set by T4TD
Page 3 insert – T4TD ephemera pack
Page 6 tags – cut around a tag included in the T4TD ephemera pack
Washi tape on page 6 and 14 – Jen Hadfield Peaceful Heart set of 8 washi tapes (American Crafts) (which looks to be out of stock, but is very similar to this one)
Stars and “memories” sticker from my stash
Page 12 and 13: Ephemera from T4TD, as above
Page 14: Hinged Heart Window heart die from MFT Stamps
Final page: beach stickers from my stash.
I really hope you like this project – I’m a bit nervous putting it out there, as it’s not really my usual thing! I’d love to hear your thoughts!
