It’s a mini fan out album using the camera element from Happy Snapper digital kit.
Size: approximately 2 x 1.5″
Digital Kit: Happy Snapper by Captivated Visions. This kit was included in August The Digi Files from TheDailyDigi.com.
Tutorial was for August Playbook.
My son took gazillion photos of his hermit crabs, Mr. Stik and Jimmy to celebrate their birthdays and demanded that I printed all of them out. Yeah right! Not happening. So, I selected few of my favorite photos, and printed all in a 11 x 8.5 River Linen paper from Red River Paper and made a tiny album. It was a hit! He loved it and was showing it off to his friends. He thanked me many times.
Create the clipping masks using the camera element (in Photoshop, select the whole image by Control/Command + click on the layer. Create a new layer. Fill in the color). Multiplicate(?) the masks in separate layers and clip the photos. Make sure to have one mask flip horizontally for the back page.
Cut all the pages with scissors.
Glue the last image to the reverse side of the back cover page.
Make a hole on the pages. Take out the handle from the binder clip and add the album pages (add few pages at a time).
Add clear circle sticker on the lense.
We bought both hermit crabs two months ago. Mr. Stik from Outer Bank, NC, and Jimmy from a local PetSmart store. Jimmy was more active and friendly one. He even survived a fall from a dining room table after this photo shoot in July.
He died today. *sniff* *sniff*

I’ve never heard of hermit crabs as pets!
I just saw this project yesterday when I downloaded the old playbook and I LOVE it! I might have to copy you!

Wow…what a super memory book. We had a hermit crab too – I think it lasted 6 months, and we had a big cage for it and all. So sad when they go. This little book though would be wonderful for capturing all of the collections my daughter has started over the years and then out grew…and I can’t bare to lose the memories!

Its like you learn my thoughts! You appear to know a lot about this, such as you wrote the book in it or something. I feel that you can do with some % to pressure the message home a bit, but other than that, this is wonderful blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be back.
