Another Mini Scrapbook Album - Graphic 45 Secret Garden

OK, so I think I am hooked on the mini scrapbook album idea!  I made another one, only this time I used a general design from Anne from Anne's Paper Creations and the Graphic 45 Secret Garden paper collection.  

Anne has a wonderful tutorial on making album pages based on one 12x12 sheet of paper scored, folded, and cut is a special way.  The resulting scrapbook page has a built-in pocket and a variety of fold-out flaps.  I love this design because it cuts down on the amount of paper and glue needed for the album.

I fussy-cut the fence and flowers to go around the outside of the binding.
I used Impression Obsession flower die to create all the little flowers on the tree branches.

The back.  I had to fit parts of two cut-out pages together to get this part of the back.

The inside front flap.

This is what it looks like with the cover open and the pages standing up.

The front of the first page.

A photo mat and a journaling book (still the first page).

This is the fold-flap on the back-side of the first page.

The back of page one and the start of page 2.
You can see the natural pockets created by the folded papers.

This is the inside of page 2 with a ribbon/chip board belly-bar,
a waterfall pop-up and an envelope for a tag.

The back inside flap of page 2 with a photo mat and journal book.

The last part of page 2 and first part of page 3.
You can kind of see that page 3 starts with a flap hiding a photo mat.

The inside of page 3 with tags and a journal book.
On the back of the tags you can add pictures.

Back of page 3 and start of page 4.

Inside of page 4 with a fold-out picture mat on the left, a pocket in the middle,
and a flap cut into the paper on the right.

This is the back of page 4 with fold-over flap.

The back page opens to two flaps.

I think Anna has an amazing design!  You get so many pockets and flaps for photos and added bits just by folding and cutting one piece of paper!  Check out her video linked above and make one of these beauties for yourself.
