I created a mini album using the gorgeous Berry Blossoms heavy acetate for the cover to kick things off. It measures 11" x 7" and is scored along the longest side at 5" and 6" to form a 1" spine. I added gold standard eyelets in the center of the spine, measuring 1/2" from both the top and bottom—this gives it a polished, sturdy finish that I love.
I mixed papers from the 12" x 12" collection for the inside pages, trimming them down to 10" x 5 3/4". I scored these at 5" on the long side, creating beautifully balanced pages. Then I grabbed a few sheets from the 6" x 8" paper pad, trimming them to 5 3/4" x 8" and scoring them at 4" to add a little variety and layering interest.
One of my favorite parts of this album is the shaker pocket I created—it's filled with a berry patch mix that adds the perfect sparkle and movement. I placed it in the album's center for maximum impact and tucked in 3" x 4" cards as an extra interactive element.
I went with a clean and simple design for the cover—just a scallop border sticker and the sweetest sentiment sticker that reads "You're So Berry Sweet". I love how the acetate lets that sentiment shine through while still keeping the album playful and elegant.
I used white stretchy elastic to bind it all together, which holds the pages snugly but allows flexibility for adding more later. Inside, I included photo mats in sizes 4" x 5" and 5" x 3 1/2", ready for pictures or journaling spots.
This mini album was a joy to create, and I hope it inspires you to explore the Berry Sweet Collection and create something just as magical! Happy crafting! XO, Conny
