I saw a tutorial on You Tube for a mini album made with empty toilet paper rolls and decided it was the right one for me to try as I always have tons of empty rolls complements of the family! LOL! You flatten the tubes, cover with paper, I used my bind it all to do the binding on one side...then I went to town decorating each page. I used stamp sets, glimmer mist,distress inks, buttons, ribbon, etc,etc,etc...
What's really neat is that each tube makes a perfect pocket for you to add tags for journaling, photos, mementos,etc. I used two smaller pieces of cardboard which I covered, distressed, inked, or stamped to give a little more dimension to the album (great fillers too, LOL). I think I will add pics of the family, and some journaling, then take it to work to show it off and perhaps get some orders for more!
So... stay tuned and once I fill it up, I will post a few more pics. Leave me some lovin"! And think "Green"!
