Sun Kissed Mini (mega) Album with Graphic 45

Hello there friends and fellow crafters and happy Tuesday to you : ) I’m sharing a mini album I created with Graphic 45 Sun Kissed collection and by mini I really mean mega because this scrapbook is super chunky.  I deconstructed a Square Tags and Pockets album then reassembled it as a Midori style with inserts.

I did say chunky.  This mini is the thickest scrapbook I have ever created! Of course I added loads of charms to the spine after stringing it up and topped them off with pretty bows and vintage button.

This collection has gorgeous patterns so I layered them up and added altered chipboard, flowers, twine, netting, sequins, and Prills.

Each of the 4 inserts have a fully embellished cover. Spacers between the layers really adds depth.

The insides have large pages for bigger pictures.

Gorgeous beachy themed chippies are the perfect accent.

The pockets inside have tags with coordinating images and plenty of room to add journaling.

This cover has additional die cuts like the little banner and doily which really fill in the arrangement nicely.

Since the entire collection goes together so perfectly I was able to mix and match the patterns to create similar but different combinations for the inside pages.

I left some of the chipboard in it’s natural color since it coordinates so well with the kraft covers!

I really super love the nature inspired images and patterns so perfect for vacation pictures.

Please enjoy this flip through video on how I created this Midori styled scrapbook from the tags and pocket book….
