I have created a Mini Album Using envelopes & Chelsea Garden B&T paper
& the coordinating Compliments...
This paper collection is an all time favorite ~ I just can not stop using it!

This is a Super fast project you can complete in just a couple of hours as I used 2 sheets
of patterned Paper & 2 sheets of cardstock ~ I just love that our cardstock is now 2 tone ~ it has a lighter shade on the back... makes matching easy!
 |
| I just LOVE the 2 toned cardstock... one side lighter that the other you can never go wrong with matching |
We start with the creation of an Envelope Album
Check out my video on how to create a basic Album

Now for the Creative & Fun stuff... Let's decorate it!
Start with attaching the paper cut to 1/4 inch smaller than the envelope ~ I used a total of 2 sheets of patterned paper & 2 sheets of Cardstock to decorate the album... as well as the zip strips from the patterned paper.
