4 x 4 Mini Match Book Album w/ Tutorial

Album Design by Corrine Paul
Sun pattern by Scraptastical Kreations;

"Just Beachy" Title Pattern


I altered the Just Beachy Title pattern so that I am using the sun portion only for this project.


You can Google Mini Match Box Album Instruction/Pattern and you will find several different versions of this album. I made then several sizes but this is what works for me.


I cut one 8 1/2 inch long and 4 inches wide strip for the outer cover.


For the flips measure 1 inch bottom flap and 3 1/2 inch upper flap (title cover page)


Inside pages (shades of blue) are 3 1/2 inch long and 3 1/2 wide.
Photo mat (suns on white page) are 3 inches long by 2 3/4 wide.


I used a 1 inch circle punch and made 3 tabs. I put them on the 3 inside pages.
I printed nautical terms using different fonts and place a different one at the top of the five inside pages.


I inked all edges before assembling


I made a little sail boat for the front cover and tied a ribbon through the holes.
Top flap folds down and tucks into bottom flap like a match book.

Thank You~
