Pro Player Mini Album & Mini Tutorial

Hello my inky friends!  Today I want to share with you this cute little mini album I did for my daddy's birthday!  Now I know the new Artbooking Cartridge has not gone live yet, but I couldn't resist showing this off.  Did you know with the new cartridge you can make mini albums?  Yes....and at any size you want!  This mini is the 7x5 Top Secret Album from pages 42 and 43.  The album in the booklet is set up for 7x5 inches....well I wanted a smaller version...so I set my dial at 4.5 inches and created this very cute album, which holds family pictures, envelopes, tags and gift cards!

This post has a lot of pictures so grab a cup of your favorite beverage and enjoy.  I have included a small tutorial at the end of the post on how to make the book binding and binding cover for the album. I've also put all the info on how you can get a copy of the kit or a cutting and assembly guide of your own.

Can you believe I made this entire album with just one key?  I know.....AMAZING!!!!

 Cover before adding binding cover.

 Folder 1 was used for pages 1 & 2.  I used the "Photo Mat 1" key.  Remember it is at 4.5 inches.

 Next the space between the book binding sections creates additional pages between the folders....so this will be pages 3 & 4.

For the next folder I used "Photo Mat 1" using the shift key for pages 5 & 6.

 Again the spaces created with the book binding adds additional pages....7 & 8.

 Repeating the previous pages.... I used "Photo Mat 1" using the shift key 

for pages 9 & 10.

 Seeing a pattern here...using the book binding adds additional pages....11 & 12.

And the final folder "Photo Mat 1" for the last two pages....13 & 14.

It's almost hard to believe this 4.5 inch mini album can hold 14 pages!  This album ROCKS!

Now...here is the finished project......
