Required Supplies
Do you have all your supplies? Use this checklist to be sure you're not missing anything you'll need!
-
3"x4" filler and journaling cards This will form the base of the album. You could also cut down any papers, vellum pieces or overlays to 3"x4" to use in your album as well.
-
Photos Feel free to choose photos from a particular event or trip, or pull different photos together that have a common theme. The subject of the album is totally up to you!
-
Hole punch You'll need to be able to punch holes in the tops of all your pages in order to bind them together at the end. I use a single hole punch as it's much easier to line up properly.
-
Book ring, ribbon or twine You'll need to choose one of these items to hold all your pages together. I personally prefer book rings as they make it really easy to turn the pages of your album.
-
Adhesive A roller adhesive is great for sticking your photos to the base pages, while a liquid glue can be handy for adhering smaller and more fiddly embellishments that might need a bit of extra hold.
-
Your favourite embellishments I used this as an opportunity to dive into all the embellishments that I'd put aside for a really "special" project. I chose lots of chipboard and wood veneer pieces, as well as die-cuts and some word stickers.
