Hey Crafty Friends! Hey there! Conny here with an exciting new project. I created a 5x8 album using the At the Zoo Collection, perfect for capturing and preserving all your wonderful zoo memories. This collection and album are the perfect solution for those special photos from the zoo that you've been meaning to document.
Let's get started! I started by cutting my pieces as follows:
Chipboard pieces - (2) 5x8 inches, (1) 8X 21/2 inches.
Pages: one 4 x 12 - Score at 5 and 10 inches. If you want to add a semi-pocket, you can use this measurement. For single pages, use 7 1/4" x 10".
You will need a piece measuring 6 5/8" x 9 5/8" for the cover and a piece measuring 4 1/4" x 9 5/8" for the spine.
To bind the album together, I used a piece of cardstock that is 8 X 12 inches long. Additionally, for the back cover, I used an extra piece that is 1 1/2" x 8" as the previous piece won't be long enough to cover the chipboard inside.
To hold the pages inside the album, I used 8 standard eyelets – 4 at the top and 4 at the bottom – with elastic string.
.
At the spine, I tied a bow with a ribbon. To embellish the cover page, I used one of the 4x6 cut apart cards, Sprinkles and Odds & Ends.
I embellished the album using various Odds & Ends and Mini Icon Stickers, as well as some This & That cardstock stickers. I left spaces for my 4x6, 2x2, and 3x4 photos, and I added an extra pocket on the covers for small items.
