6 x 6 Wedding Album

I bought a kit from Creative cuts and crafts in Villa Park. The kit was for a 6 x 6 album for a baby boy. I made the album and I then made 6 x 6 album based on that album. My album has pages with flaps and a flap with pockets and tags that the kit did not. I really enjoyed making the album. Below is a Wedding album I made on the same design.

This is the cover of the Wedding album, it is 6 x 6. All the pages measure 5.75 x 5.75 The album is made from a 12 x 12 pack of paper. Depending on the pack of paper you can get 4 to 6 albums from the pack.  You need at least 12 sheets of 12 x 12 heave patterned paper.

This is the inside cover and page 1 with flap on the right with pockets and tags. The pages are made by cutting the 12 x 12 paper into a 5.75  x 12 strips. Then 2 strips are adhered back to back. Strips of coordinating paper are adhered along the binding edge side to reinforce the edge. To create the flap the 5.75 x 12 page is cut to 9.75. The paper is then folded at  5.75 inches to create the flap and folded at 8.75 inches to create the pocket.

 This is pages 2 and 3. Page 2 id the back of page 1 with the flap. Page 3 is without any flaps.

 This is pages 4 and 5. Page 4 is without any flaps. Page 5 has the flap on top. To create the flap the 5.75 x 12 page is cut to 8.75. The paper is then folded at  5.75 inches to create the flap. To allow the flap to move a .5 x 3 inch strip was cut off the inner edge of the 3 inch flap to made room for binding.

 This is pages 6 and 7. Page 7 is without any flaps.

 This is pages 8 and 9. Page 9 has a 3 inch flap on the right side.

  This is pages 10 and the inside back cover.

Here is the back cover. The book was bound using a Bind-it-all and 3/4 inch binding wires. 

The book allows for at least 11 photos. The white photo mounts are 4.25 x 4.25 inches at allow 4 x 4 inch photos.  But that does not mean smaller or larger, up to 5.75 x 5.75 photos could not be added.

I like the book so well that I have made books for baby boys and girls and Christmas books also.
