Hi there!

Here I used the album inserts (version 2) from the Mini Album Stand with A Drawer template to create this rolodex style album (Couldn’t really find a good name for this project, heehee)

First, the winners for my giveaways…

Cristina won $10 gift certificate to Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs.

Adriana won two hybrid templates from my store.

THANK YOU ALL!!!

I’m also giving my templates to Corinne because she was the first one to congratulate me on my post (heehee), AND she sent me $50 gift certificate to Red River Paper. Because she wanted to pay me for de-cluttering MY crafting room. Heehee. THANK YOU Corinne!

Here is the basic assembly for the Mini Album Stand with a Drawer template.

This is the album stand. Print, score, cut, and fold.

After putting it together (good thing I didn’t use the strong adhesive), I decided to decorate it with some eyelets.

Mark the holes where the eyelets will go in.

Open it up. Punch the holes out.

Put eyelets to decorate.

Print, score, cut, and fold the album covers. Small one goes on the front. The one on the bottom goes in the side (if you decide to make an album instead of a box).

This is the version 1 for the album inserts.

(TIF file comes with layered masks for you to drop digital papers/elements and photos)

Put the adhesive on the side panels and attach the album inserts.

This is for using one strip of album insert.

Glue the end panels together to connect multiple inserts.

Tada~

Attach it to the album cover.

If you want to glue the inserts to the spine…

Stretch the spine with a bone folder or a pen by holding the one end of paper and with a bone folder rub/stretch on the spine. This way, you won’t get hard crease when you open the album.

Pull the inserts out, and apply the glue on the spine. Use the glue that dries clear and FLEXIBLE.

This is the album inserts version 2. It has the tabs for glueing.

Attach it to the album cover.

To connect multiple inserts, fold the tab, and align with another insert to glue together.

Attach it to the album. You can glue the spine like the insert version 1.

Tada~

And to make the rolodex style album…

Attach the version two inserts together without the album cover.

Bunch/fold it together and apply the glue inside the ring.

Add a pencil and roll it around so the glue will get on the pencil as well.

Hold it while the glue dries. About 300 hours!

Just kidding! Heehee.

Put the ribbons around while the glue dries. Space out the panels to equal distance.

Of course, add the photos on the insert panels before assembling it. =)

Thank you~~

Thanks so much for the awesome tutorial. I love this album project. I will definitely be giving it a try. You are an awesome hybrid scrapper/paper creator person (if that makes any sense). You are very inspiring to me. Thanks again.

ps. still waiting for the train project
