20 page 6x6 album for $10 and 60 minutes!!

Well, i promised you the other day i would post the album i made the other night - and here it is! Now, This album is a 6x6 size, made from only 1/2 (yup, 1/2!) of a Stampin' Up! Simply Scrappin Kit - the kit i used is "Hoppy Memories" (# 113936) the Simply Scrappin' kits can be found on page 162 in your Idea Book and Catalog.
Here is what i did to make this easy -- i took my SS kit, and divided up everything (so, i started off with 4 sheets of textured 12x12 cardstock, 3 sheets of Designer paper, and 3 sheets of cardstock stickers), I then cut all my CARDSTOCK into 4 6x6 pieces per 12x12 page. Put those aside, then, i took my designer paper, and cut all of those 12x12 sheets in 1/2. I then took 2 of those 1/2's and cut them into half (to make 4 6x6" pages) and there are your 20 6x6 background pages!
I then just started to embellish each page as i saw fit with my stickers and leftover designer papers, being careful to keep it simple. You can always go back and add more stickers later!!
Now, after you are done, you will still have 1/2 of the simply scrappin' kit left!!!! Enough for a whole second 6x6 20 page album, or several 12x12 layouts, or lots of cards!! I honestly haven't decided on what i am going to use mine for yet! I will definately keep you posted when i do! Enjoy the pics!!

  7. Fabulous album! I can't believe it only took you an hour. I might still have to break down and get that kit I have been eyeing it since it came out!
