A great project from the past has gotten an upgrade! The Easy Eight Album is a great way to create a complete scrapbook, perfect for gifting. Pair the Components Kit with ANY CS® Page Kit to create a beautiful 11x8.5" landscape-style album filled with eight fully-embellished pages.
Blue Botanicals Easy Eight Album
Getting Started
Gather the Easy Eight Album Components, a Blue Botanicals Special Release Page Kit and a few basic tools and supplies.
To replicate Tricia's finished album, utilize the following paper assignments for each step in the instructions document:
- (2) Pale Blue
- (2) Dk. Blue
- (2) Large Print
- (2) Khaki, (2) Med. Blue, (2) Small Print
- Pale Blue, Lt. Blue, Med. Blue, Dk. Blue
Trim and sort the papers according to the instructions. Following the video tutorial is highly recommended—especially when it comes time to complete the individual pages. Tricia shares the tips she uses every single time she designs layouts for a new kit. These tips are worth their weight in GOLD!
Album Construction
During album construction, cover the seams on the front and back covers with cutapart border strips. Embellish the front cover with a Jumbo Manila Tag and corresponding cutapart sentiment topped with gorgeous khaki silk ribbon.
