Let the Fun Begin z-fold mini album

Hey everybody – how’s the weather where you are?! Tis the season to be freezin’ here! We really didn’t feel the cold (or heat) out in southwestern Colorado because of the low humidity, but it’s pretty high here and we are definitely feeling it. I’m a cooler weather kind of girl but have to admit that I’m counting down the days until we see some warmer weather!

I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a super cute z-fold mini album. And yep, you guessed it… this one is for documenting some fun Summer activities! As mentioned in my post several weeks ago, Doodlebug Design invited our design team to collaborate with them so I used a ton of their products along with awesome Scrapbook Adhesives products for the assembly.

I won’t go into too much detail here on this post, so be sure to visit the Scrapbook Adhesives blog to see my tutorial. I cut the album base from CutCardStock 12×12 Twine cardstock and used all kinds of Doodlebug textured cardstock, patterned paper, enamels and die cut pieces to bring this fun mini album to life. I used our E-Z Runner Micro Refillable Dispenser, E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, Dual Tip Glue Pen, and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to put it all together.

All the pockets are decorated, and there are tags and pull-outs tucked into the pockets for photos and journaling. Here are close-ups of all five sections on the front and the two on the back. To say this was fun is an understatement, lol! You know I love me some mini albums! And the more colorful they are, the better I like them!
