Navigation Album in a Display Box


Welcome to the Club Scrap Navigation Collection Blog Hop.  To return to the start of the hop click here.  This kit fit perfectly with our recent beach trip and Laura Denison's Memory Portal with Center Part album. The Memory Portal box is 9 inch x 7.5 inch x 5 inch and the Center Part album is 8.5 inch x 7 inch x 2.25 inch.

Open Display Box with Inner Compass Rose box

I just fell in love with the sail boat shadow box cover and compass rose from the pattern by Laura Denison. Following her pattern and videos I was able to readily make both. The papers and embellishment I used come from a Navigation Deluxe and Navigation Lite kits. To the kits I added chipboard, acrylic for windows, hinge & latch, and blue velum for the water. The diecut words and sand dollar are Tim Holtz Alternation dies.

Thank you for stopping by my blog.  I have pictures of pages from the album shown below. To go to the start of the hop link here. You next stop is with Donna at Crafty Colonel. As always your comments are greatly appreciated.

Happy Crafting,

Debby


For the album I printed pictures with backgrounds and embellishments from the Club Scrap Navigation Digital and Come Sail Away Digital kits. Then I printed the pictures at home using 8.5 x 11 photo paper. By using this method I was able to make the pictures in the perfect size to fit the large tags.

To the kit papers I added parchment and black 8.5 x 11 paper, but it turned out I had enough solid paper left over from the kit to make the album. I modify Laura's original pattern by adapting the back flap pocket to look more like the front flap, I used Laura' Denison's new T-square binding, and I only made four pages. 

I love the interactive nature of Laura's Center Part album, so hold on for lots of pictures. The pages are shown closed, then flaps open, and finally with all tags removed. I journaled on the back of tags.

  4. I am impressed that 1)you finished it. Laura's projects are wonderful, but time consuming. I have so many 1/2 finished. 2) and most amazing, you filled it with memories. Most of my projects are empty. After all that work, I never want to look at them again. You amazing me and thank you for sharing.

    1. So true, but I love all those details in here projects. And second, I worked hard to get the pictures into the album knowing that if I left it until after the blog hop I would never do it.

    2. I am always worried that the pictures I intend for Laura's projects will not fit in the album. I never know how many they're going to hold, really. Yours turned out great, Debby! I turned the paper bag album from Nat'l Parks into a beach album and am planning soon to put my pictures from Dauphin Island (across from Ft Morgan) in it. Thanks for the inspiration (and detailed photos)!

  16. Could you explain how to make the album or provide a link that does not require people to pay for instructions? Some of us live on a limited income. Thank you!
