July Mini Album Tutorials and Challenge

Happy July book makers!  It's hard to believe we are at mid-year.  We hope you are finding creativity as a respite from this hectic life.  Sadly, this will be our final challenge at Mini Album Makers.  We have enjoyed this journey immensely, but find it difficult to maintain going forward.  We are, however, happy to announce the winner of our June challenge, winning a prize from The Funkie Junkie Boutique  



And the winner is Myry from Fils et Papiers!  Myry shared an exquisite book in a box concept with us.  Make sure to check it out.  Congrats Myry!  Please email Autumn at teamclark@rocketmail.com to claim your prize.  



We are also thrilled to have Julia Dudnik of Blog Fox, the winner of our May challenge, joining us as a guest designer today!  Julia has created a beautiful flip book measuring 4.7" square.  Find more details on her blog.




And now inspiration from our design team...

I have turned to an old favourite design to create this mini album. However, the inside is filled with new ideas for collage which I learnt during an online workshop last month. Do join me over on my blog if you would like to see how it all came together.



Inna


Hello! My artbook is over and I decided to make myself a new one. You can watch the new video tutorial in my blog.

And from our design team...

Jennie

As a lover of tiny books and boxes the new dies from Eileen Hull are just perfect for me! I have used some small pieces leftover from a favourite paper pad to make this nature themed book and box. Do join me for more details over on my blog and again later in the month when I will be sharing a tutorial for more ways to use these wonderful dies.


Gayatri

I seem to be addicted to trifold folio/ album. For this month's inspiration also I am sharing a trifold album with pockets and flaps for adding journaling and adding photos. Visit my blog for more details about the album.



Hi friends!  I had a firm intention to make an album this month ... But I again made a notebook ... And again I recorded a video tutorial for you. On my blog you will find it.


Autumn

It was so exciting to get to make a book with one of Eileen's newest dies!  I created a mixed media wee journal with the Tiny Book die.  More details can be found on my blog, SewPaperPaint.
