                                                                     Welcome to Day 4 of our Hop. I'm am so excited to share this next project with you. I almost just couldn't wait. Have you ever wanted to do a project and you felt like you just couldn't get the hang of it ?? That's the way the "MINI ALBUMS" are for me. I've tried a few and just wasn't happy with what I was accomplishing. I  still have a long way to go on these but I feel like this one is better than the others I've Made.
 
 
This was made from 4 empty toilet paper rolls. They were flattened using my bone folder.I cut a template about 5inches long and about 9 inches wide. After I glued the paper to the tube, I mitered the corners. So when you fold it in the tube it will be smooth.
                                           and won't show the edges of the tube.                 
 
 
 
 
 
I used up alot of scrap paper on this project.
 
 
 
I'm very happy with the way it turned out.
 I used binding rings to hold it together. They are 1 inch rings.
 I chose to use 4 tubes. You could use more if you wanted a bigger book.
 These are also the perfect size for gift cards.
 Well here's my little Mini album...
 I hope you like it.
Thank you so much for stopping by to visit and checking out my mini. ..Please leave me a comment to let me know what you think of this project, or if you have a tip you'd like to pass on please feel free. Don't forget to hit all the stops along this hop . you never know what you could be missing. Thanks again for hopping by and I hope To see you tomorrow along the same trail. Have a wonderful Day .

  20. Wow lady! You are very talented! I think I am going to do this idea with the kids next door this summer (they are like my grandkids) one hot day when they are bored. I am saving this as a favorite so I don't forget!

  21. This is really cute! I have a mini album made ot TP rollers on my blog right now too. I made one for my grandson for his birthday that will be mailed tomorrow. Minis are my favorite projects to work on next to cards. The more often you do them, the easier it gets. My biggest problem is that mine will never close when I get them finished because I use so many dimensional embellishments on the pages. TFS!
