This is a very involved swap but the results are awesome! The image is one I made...the picture sucks though. Sorry diver line

@Leejas72 and I were in a private swap for a mini-envelope album. It was a lot of fun to make (although quite involved). Our theme happened to be Halloween. I love the album I received and will display it every Halloween from now on.

She and I were talking and thought it would be fun to do one in TPD. So here is what we came up with:

  • 1 envelope album = 1 partner

  • You can use Tutorial A OR Tutorial B I used Tutorial A the first time, but I think I may use B this time. Which ever you choose, watch the entire video at least twice, before attempting. Especially if you use Tutorial A, because she is a little confusing the first go round)

  • There will be 6 Themes, the only theme required for ALL swappers will be a Profile Based Theme. Other than that 1 requirement you will choose 5 other ones. (I made a rather long list below to help you choose, but you do NOT have to choose from the list. It is just for help, of course you can if you like).

  • Stickers will be allowed, but don't just slap a sticker on it and call it done. Get your creative juices flowing.

  • Any other questions please post in the comment section, and I will answer to the best of my ability. Besides others probably will have the same questions. : ) diver line

flofirenzie 11/14/2012 #

The videos are great. This looks like fun!

flofirenzie 11/16/2012 #

Here it is all decorated

Paige1900 11/16/2012 #

Thank You @Leejas72 And the books really are cool @flofirenzie I hope you join. I like them because you can include all kinds of goodies...and since the theme is so random our creative muses will be on an all day high!

I feel silly for asking but do the items in the pockets have to go with the theme for the page?

Paige1900 11/19/2012 #

Don't feel silly, but yes is the answer to your question. These are sorta like the mini-albums we have done in the past, only on steriods. :P

6 envelopes...6 themes ??

Wingy 12/18/2012 #

tutorial a : at around 535 minutes into it the last envelope she adds is longer...what are those measurements?? i see that she then just folds it the other way never mentioning measurement???

Paige1900 12/19/2012 #

I had to guesstimate (this is why I added a 2nd video). I do not know the exact measurement. As long as you follow the basics, it doesn't matter if the book is a little off. If you find a tute where the concept is the same, but the "how-to" is a little different, that is fine to use.

I really hope this helped you and didn't confuse you worse. They are awesome books. :)

ok :D

Is there a written tutorial anywhere (my prepaid Internet is not liking videos).

I have found a couple of written tutorials, but I want to make sure they are at least close to what is being described in the tutorial before using them and I really want to get started on this over the weekend so I can make it extra special for my partner!

Wingy......I watched it again and noticed that she puts some text up on the screen telling that she only folded it to get it out of the way because she didn'ttake the time to trim, score and fold it as she would if she were doing it right.

Mine went out in priority small box 9505510161223053506696. Hope I did okay and that Judy will enjoy it.
