Artisan Style House Warming Mini Album and Stand

Clearsnap and Graphic 45 Blog Hop: Day One

Artisan Style Boxed Mini and Stand

It's the Day 1 of the G45 and Clearsnap Blog Hop. There will be so many inspiring projects to enjoy. Don't forget to hop around and leave comments to get in the running for some fun prizes!

I was inspired to make this project by some wonderful friends who allowed me to help them purchase their first home! I wanted to give them a special housewarming gift: a mini album that would house their first year memories in their new home with their daughter and baby boy, but I also wanted it to look a bit more like a fun home décor piece. In comes my boxed mini on a stand using the super fun Graphic 45 Antique Brass Claw Feet to, literally and figuratively, give my album a lift! I made a YouTube video to share how the stand works and all the flaps and pockets of the album. I hope you enjoy!

Tip: If you come across an image you love in the paper, but it is too large for your project, don’t be afraid to cut it in half or in segments to reassemble and wraparound a project corner or, my favorite, span two facing album pages. It ties the two pages together while showing off the gorgeous image in all its splendor.
