Last fall, Tricia developed a formula to transform any page kit into a 5.25x6" interactive mini book. She aptly named the project the MEMBER album, which is an acronym for the "Most Efficient Mini Book Ever Released".
I followed the clever cutting instructions to construct the book using the Golden Hour Page Kit and one sheet of 12x12 Dark Kraft Folding Board. (Learn more about the project on the event landing page.)
I've had the book assembled for some time now, but only recently finished it with photos, embellishments and journaling. I filled it with photos for my husband as a Father's Day gift. Now that Father's Day is over, it's safe for me to share. Would you like a peek?
Golden Hour MEMBER Album
The kraft folding board coordinates beautifully with the Golden Hour color palette. (Black folding board is also available). The rich dark purple grosgrain creates the book closure. The cover of the book is decorated with trimmed panels, cutaparts, and a golden sun charm from the page kit.
Tricia offers tips in the video tutorial on how to trim the print so the artwork is "continuous" across the front and back covers, as well as the spine. It's a subtle but striking detail that adds to the beauty of the project.
The inside front and back covers feature pockets with removable panels for additional photos or journaling.
Many of the pages inside are interactive with flaps that open to reveal more photos. I added 1/2" strips of ivory to each page as a reminder of each occasion.
And there you have it, a compact mini book perfect for gifting!
The MEMBER Album is ideal for documenting a special event or trip. Its compact and portable nature makes it easy to share special memories with others.
I hope you'll give this project a try. Happy crafting!
