Celebrate Christmas Mini Album


Hi there ribbon lovers.  It's a new month and time for a new Ribbon Club Assortment at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  
I'm still loving my October assortment which I used on my mini album that I'm sharing today and if you didn't get a chance to head over and grab one, it's not too late!!

This month we have a great deal for US residents. 
You can get the October and November assortments together for a special low introductory price of just $17.00!

The October Ribbon Club Assortment is a collection of Christmas solids and prints.  It contains 9 styles and a total of 17 yards of ribbon and crochet lace.  The November Ribbon Club Assortment is a glitzy holiday themed assortment with 9 styles and a total of 17 yards of ribbon and crochet lace.  Each monthly assortment is a color or holiday themed collection of ribbon.  What a fun way to build your ribbon stash and try new ribbon styles.

Mini albums are a great place to use up those short ribbon pieces that are too nice to part with!

I'm really interested in the construction aspect of mini albums and I love making them, but I don't have a lot of experience.  I did some book binding many years ago, so the cover construction is familiar, but there is so much to learn as far as making fun and interactive pages.  I find the best learning method is to go to YouTube and watch what others are doing, try to replicate it and then use what you learn to create your own style.  There are a LOT of great album makers out there, and so much to learn.

Since it's hard to photograph a mini album so you can see the details, I created a 'flip through' video.

I embellished the front of my mini album a little with some round and heart shaped embellishments.  RRR had a large selection of embellishments for every occasion.  Check out the high quality, low cost embellishment offerings HERE.

I finished off the front cover of my mini album with my signature bi-color double-loop bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool.
