Hello everyone and happy Friday!! How are you? It's Nuria on the S40 blog today, Fridays are my fave day of the week! Weekend is about to start and time and plans are waiting for us! Today I show you a mini album! Hope you get inspired and create a similar project during the weekend!

I like to start deciding the cover. In that case, it's a simple and romantic cover, using a combination of the following patterned papers: Berries and White. I use a rubber band, some charms and lace loops as a closure.

Then, it's time to choose a pice of cardboard. I like to make the most of the material, so I decide the size of the mini album according to the leftover pieces of cardboard I have had from previous projects. This mini album is 11x12,5cm.

The structure is made with two A4 white card paper. The spine of the outer page is 3 cm and 2cm for the inner one. I fold the pages according to the structures I want to create.

There is a 3rd page done with a piece of white card, folded in half and sewed to the previous page by the spine. This 3rd page is a centimeter smaller to create a cascading effect.

This pages are the reverse of the polar stories page, I like to spread the elements composing in two pages, and not just one page, I think it gives harmony to the album. I decide to create these pages in a warmer tones than the rest of the mini album. I use 'Bits and pieces' and 'Wood' patterned paper. Some die cuts and chipboards finalise the decoration.

Don't get limited by the size of the white card paper. You can create tabs at the end of the card paper and stick another element. In this case, I created a pocket with an horizontal opening.

The pocket contains a piece of card paper folded in four parts, the two end parts are flaps to pull. I decorated the flaps with 'Berry' patterned paper. The inside is decorated with 'Cards' patterned paper and the journaling card 'Winter Wonderland'.

I have used different Studio Forty collections for this mini album: Vintage Glow, Together, Nordica, Frosty Seasons and Joyful collections are most of it. I love to mix them all, playing with similar tones and/or making contrast with them.

In these pages I have created decorative elements with patterned paper and chipboard frames. Also, I stamped the word Joy in a label frame and completed the decoration with cut out elements from different materials.

And we come to the last page of the album, very sweet and soft, using the Nordica collection and contrasting with red elements that coordinate both pages.

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely weekend! Let us know if you create a similar album!
