Tutorial on minibook page

Start out with a 12 X 12 Piece of card stock.
Score on one side @ 6 1/2 " Turn & score @ 4 1/4 & 8 1/2

Cut on the 6 1/2 " line down to the 4 1/2" Score mark
on both sides(top & bottom). Cut out a 2" X 6 1/2" piece of paper on one side
(top left)
& 2" X 5 1/2" on the other side( bottom right) 
 
Fold left side flaps down to the middle, glue it down so
it makes a pocket.

Punch out and finger pull slot, I used a 1 1/2" hole punch
This left side will be the binding side of your  pages.

Fold the right side of your paper to the back.

Flip the page over it should look like this.

Fold the top page down.

Open that page you have the little 1 1/2" flap fold.

Fold this flap up and glue down the side edges
so it forms a pocket.

close the page and this is the back side of your page.

This is what the front of each page should look like.
Binding will be on the left side of each page
I bound my pages with the cinch.
I had seen this on you Tube made with an 8 1/2" X 11"
piece of card stock. But I wanted my pages larger so
I adapted the measurements to fit a 12 X 12 piece of paper.

Paper bag Easter Mini

This mini is about 5 X 6 Mini.
Used a large flower from Michaels, some we are roses
flowers, a piece of a feather and a chipboard saying.

Paper was just paper I had here in my stash.

used some recollection flowers I had, and some bling for the centers.

for the pull tabs I used a Spellbinder die.

a couple chipboard pieces, Distressed all the edges.

I used the flat paper bags.

Bound with the Cinch. Like this much better than the Zutter.

All it needs now is pictures!

This Mini has been done for awhile.
 Just now got back into my life.
I had fallen in the back yard and broke my Kneecap!!!!!!!!! Yikes.
So now that I can move around a little better I hope to start making
things again! Yeah
