Saturday Step x Step: When Pigs Fly Mini Album with Olde Curiosity Shoppe

Hello, Friends!  What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?  Winter can be such a dreary time, but it is also a great time to hunker down in the studio and create!  I have a really whimsical Saturday Step x Step project to share with you today.  It will keep you so busy and happy in your crafty space that you care what the weather is doing!  In our recent "Winter Hues" challenge I created this sweet little mini album.

I'm back today with another mini made in the same way, only this time I've added a fun vintage/steampunk vibe to it by using Graphic 45's fabulous Olde Curiosity Shoppe Deluxe Collector's Edition.

I titled this one "When Pigs Fly" and it is just chock full of whimsy.  It's sort of a mini album inside a mini album, and loads of fun to create.

The base is created with medium or heavy weight chipboard and a Sticky Back Canvas Spine.  Isn't it fun?

Here's a YouTube Video Tour of the album.

       

The inside of the album has fun pocket pages made with Tammy Tutterow's fabulous Mini Paper Bag Envelope Die.  I've die cut photo mounts using the insert that comes with the die and tucked those inside each pocket page.  And let me tell you, that insert die is just the perfect size to create mats for each paper bag page in the album.

I hope you'll be inspired to create this chunky little album using lots of different designs.  Enjoy this Snapguide tutorial and then go craft those winter blues away!
