Last year, Tricia offered the Easy Eight Album as an online virtual workshop. The original project and instructions featured Club Scrap's Under the Sea collection.
I'm continually impressed by the amazing potential of this handmade scrapbook. If you're looking for a great gift idea for a special mom in your life, consider making this beautiful 11x8.5" landscape album .
Magnolia Easy Eight Album for Mom
Tricia recently crafted an Easy Eight Album featuring the Magnolia Page Kit and Mother's Day Page Cutaparts - appropriate for so much more than just Mother's Day!
To replicate her project, begin by substituting Magnolia papers for Under the Sea as noted in the instructions. (Exact paper substitutions are listed at the end of this post.) Next, trim and sort the papers. Once all of the trimming is complete, consult the photos of the completed layouts as inspiration to finish your inside pages. Since the Mother's Day Cutaparts are different from Under the Sea, be sure to use the printed artwork and sentiments as your guide for placement.
Album Assembly
Tricia chose the beautiful Green Print to adorn the outside covers, and Wine to create the album's spine.
Embellish the front cover with a meaningful sentiment from the Mother's Day Page Cutaparts.
When creating the inside pages, it's important to remember the Cutaparts will be different from the Under the Sea version. During the page assembly process, feel free to rearrange the trimmed elements, using them in different locations. Don't be afraid to mix things up when trimming select 3.5x12" pieces (left over from trimming 8.5x11 base papers).

With a bit of customization, you can recreate this awesome handmade album using any CS® Page Kit. The size of the album makes it totally portable, and perfect for showcasing memories of someone special or documenting an important life event.
