Part Time Monster Backpack Mini Album

3/8/24 Top Cut at Cut It Up Challenges!

Hey everybody! Well, another week is nearly behind us and I hope you’re getting ready for a fun weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Mini Album Mania and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for MAM #4 – Any Type of Mini Album Goes! This was such a fun one – I used the new Backpack Mini Album Dies from Keep It Simple along with the Stitched Squares, Stitched Circles, Stitched Ovals and Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies which are awesome.

I used the Keep It Simple Boys Boys Boys Collection Pack also which I believe is on clearance and nicely discounted. If you want to go shopping, be sure to use my personal discount code of LoveToScrap2 to get 10% off your entire order. The best part about our specialized codes is that there is no minimum purchase requirement or usage limits, and the code combines with product, order and shipping discounts.

Using the Keep It Simple Backpack Mini Album Dies, I cut the album base and pages from CutCardStock Basis 110# White cardstock and layering panels from an assortment of papers in the Keep It Simple Boys Boys Boys Collection Pack. I used Keep It Simple Clear Enamel Dots on the top flap and pocket flap with magnets beneath them for the closures. I used orange ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon for the shoulder straps. I created a side folding card to tuck into the front pocket.

Here are all the inside pages showing the pull outs and pull downs. Each page was embellished with die cuts (square, circle, oval and rectangle shapes cut from Basis 80# White and prints from the Collection using the Keep It Simple stitched nesting dies), journaling cards and/or stickers from the sticker sheet. I made sure there is plenty of room for photos and journaling.
