Christmas Album Trays

Featured in this year's Somerset Holiday on newsstands October 1, two of my mini albums "build into" silver trays.  These make great hostess and party gifts any time of year, just change the papers accordingly.   There is an additional tip below, not outlined in the publication (ran out of room) - enjoy!




TIP - when mounting albums into trays, it is important to leave enough room for the spine to move and pages to open, so the foam tape strips are placed opposite the spine edge and ONLY two-thirds (or so) over/on the back as shown:

  3. Love these scrapbook trays! I am having trouble understanding how the binding of the pages work with spines strips. Do you have photos or a tutorial of how they are put together? Thanks and looking forward to seeing more of your lovely creations!
