Hi friends. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Mini Albums and Monthly Ribbon Club Assortments from Really Reasonable Ribbon are PERFECT together!!
The July assortment contains 9 styles and a total of 18 yards of ribbon and the August assortment contains 9 styles and a total of 17 yards of ribbon and trim. Each monthly assortment is a color, seasonal or holiday themed collection of coordinating ribbons. What a fun way to build your ribbon stash and try new ribbon styles.
Each page also folds out for more photos and the second and fourth pages have an additional fold out which is secured by a magnet with the round embellishment over it.
Each page will hold a minimum of 8 to 10 photos and there are five pages, so that’s a LOT of photos. While I did use design paper do decorate my album along with some pretty paper I made with Distress Inks, I left it so that the photos are the main attraction once they have been added. I feel like the photos should be the main focus, with the design papers and embellishments enhancing them, not overpowering them.
My mini album was topped off with a pretty bi-color bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using two of the 5/8″ ribbon styles from the July Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
I also added some Antique Gold Netting Ribbon over 1-1/2″ wide Regal Purple Double-Faced Satin Ribbon which was then topped with 5/8″ Gold Glitz Ribbon along the spine. I added that layer of ribbon to the spine to accent the gold in the decorative paper that I selected for the album cover.
