MINI WATERFALL

Hello, here to share with you how I made a Mini Waterfall Photo Keeper...
 This is a 8 1/2 x 7 Mini Waterfall picture album.  You will need medium weight chipboard 8 ½ x 7 (2-one for the front and one for the back), then a piece 8 ½ x 2.  You can make this smaller, wish now I had made mine 1 ½ but it is what it is….


 Place score tape around the inside edges as shown in the picture and on 2 pieces of strong plastic (I used a piece that some mail came in)
 ut those together as shown and be sure to space it so it will open and close easily. This just reinforces it more.
 Take 2 pieces of Black Card Stock and trim down to make it 11 x 11, Put Scor-tape on the two ends and put those together making one long piece.
 Now you are ready to place the chop board on face down and rub hard getting all the scor tape to hold good.


 Next apply lots of Scor-tape around top, bottom and in between as shown.



 Now you are ready to place the chop board on face down and rub hard getting all the scor tape to hold good.  Trim all 4 corners as shown and apply more Scor –tape.

 Your album should look like this and ready to decorate.
I used Sunny Day Paper Collection.  Trimming the front and back of both inside and out down 1/8” all the way around.

 Put Scor-tape on the back and adhere to the chipboard.
 For the inside I forgot to tell you to cut a piece of black card stock 4 x 8 3/8 to cover the center or spine.

 Then you can add your paper to the inside and it’s ready for the Waterfall.

 Cut 8-10 pieces of Black card stock 6 ¼ x 4 ½. Score and ¼ at the top of each and round the corners at the bottom of each.  Adhere these starting at the top, and add the next one at the scor line to the bottom of the last one.  I added 3 magnets on every 3rd page, this will help to keep it closed but you can omit this step if you wish.


 Now you are ready to cut your paper and adhere both front and back of the water fall.
 Now you are ready to decorate the front in side an out as you want.  I used the Sun Kissed Fleur Stamps and dies to make my flowers and the leaves are from the cut Mat Create set 251 2-A.  On the inside also used Spellbinders Decorative Labels 8 die to make a frame.  The distress inks I used were Peeled Paint and Mustard Seed.
Hope you enjoyed this and try one for your self.  I love to make them and fill them up with photos...
