Hi friends! Today, I’m sharing my latest Lori Whitlock Design Team Project. It's a fun Halloween Mini Album in the shape of a little house that's been haunted by flying ghosts, skeletons, grinning pumpkins, &
one mischievous black kitty. It's a perfect project for your Halloween photos and a great gift idea!
I created it with Lori's wonderful cutting file called Hidden Binding Mini Album House and the Doodlebug Design, Happy Haunting Collection. It's mini icon stickers have furniture and home accessories that were perfect for this house album, and the size was spot on!
To start, I
cut the base out of Bazzill card stock in raven black, then
added some cute pattern papers and mini icon stickers. Lori's file comes with 2 pretty flowers and a front door but, I added some stickers instead to keep with the Halloween theme.
The album uses a hidden binding technique to secure the pages. That allows enough room in between for pop dots, stickers, die cuts, tags, twine, etc. And, it lays perfectly flat when closed! You can watch the assembly tutorial for it over on Lori’s YouTube Channel here.
Inside, I wanted 4 pages that were super sturdy so I cut 8 pieces out of black card stock and adhered two back to back to make each of my 4 pages. But, you could create this album with just 4 single pages.
I covered each page in cute Happy Haunting pattern papers and photo mats. Then, I decorated with the mini icon stickers. It's "frightful & delightful".
While I designed this as a Halloween themed haunted house, Lori's file could be used for ANY theme just by changing the paper collection. You could decorate it for pictures of family/home, a dog house, fall, a summer beach house, a cabin in the woods, or a winter wonderland in the mountains. It's so versatile!
On some of the pages, I added scalloped circular photo mats. To make these, I used a 3" scallop circle punch and a 2.5" circle punch.
This cute mini album would be great filled with Halloween photos of family, friends, the pumpkin patch, pumpkin carving, a party, a haunted house, a festival, a corn maze, awesome costumes, trick-or-treating, and loads of sweet treats!
This would also make an amazing gift idea for the holiday. Give it to a friend, teacher, babysitter, dog walker, or the hostess of a Halloween party.
Look how cute this mini album is sitting out on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. These are perfect for showing off your projects, especially around the holidays. They make great decor, and ... they're filled with your FUN memories!
Lori has other hidden binding mini album shapes too. I've made the flower, telephone, and the tag shape and they are all so much fun.
I
hope you like my Halloween version of this house shaped mini album and it
inspires you to create one yourself. Until next time ... happy scrappin'!
