52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
Recently I've seen swaps for Artist Trading Coins - think Artist Trading Cards but round in shape. I don't take part in swaps but fancy giving them a go, just for myself so want a suitable way to store them.
While looking on-line, I came across this YouTube tutorial by Teresa Morgan, on how to make a mini book to hold 9 coins. Today I have made a little holder for them. I still need to decorate the cover but it is more or less ready to hold the coins.
Each pocket has acetate over the aperture so that the decorative coin can be seen in its little home. I deliberately chose a patterned paper that had a calm colour scheme to that the eye is drawn to the coin itself.
Back in June 2017, we rented a beautiful holiday home in Saundersfoot, South Wales for a week. We were joined by our family, so Hubby and myself, our younger son, elder son, daughter-in-law and their two children. It was the first time we had holidayed together and we had a fabulous time.
While away, I kept a brief note in my phone of what we did each day, so I had them to refer to. When we got home, I started to make a scrapbook of our time together. I was like a train, steaming through the project. For some reason I got distracted and it became an "unfinished project"!
I am guilty of having a few "unfinished projects" so this week, I made a pledge to myself to complete one of them. As this album had the least work to do till completion, I opted to do this. In fact, I only had a few pages and the cover to do.
I'm happy to say, I have completed the scrapbook and I am really happy with the way it has turned out. The layouts within the album are 6" x 6" (the cover size is 7" x 8"). Due to there being so many layouts in the album, I have used 3" book rings to keep it all together.
