Dog House Mini Album for Country Craft Creations & Authentique + Cutting Guide


Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing my second design team project that I created for Country Craft Creations using Authentique's Companions paper collection.  This time I have an album for the dog lovers!  This is a real quick and simple album to make. I think you could easily finish it up in a day or an evening if you work really fast.  I don't normally make ring binder albums but for something small like this, a ring is perfect.

Here are a few photos of some of the pages inside the album.  Each page measures 4 7/8" x 4 7/8".

  • Red Artisan Cardstock

  • Authentique Companions paper collection with sticker sheet 
  • 12x12 heavy weight chipboard
