Autumn Splendor Interactive Hybrid Album + Video Flip Through

By | 09/05/2020

This is the first time that I’ve ever purchased an entire scrapbook collection of items from paper to ephemera and stickers.  I so loved the Simple Stories Vintage Autumn Splendor collection that I bought the entire set of materials.

So far, I’ve created a traveler’s notebook that I am using as a gratitude journal for fall and I’ve created the interactive album that I am sharing with you today.

I decorated the cover with bits of papers and ephemera from the collection.

I apologize that these are not my best photos.  I’m feeling a bit under the weather thanks to seasonal allergies and I was excited to share this with you.

This is the very first 6 x 8″ interactive hybrid album that I’ve designed and created myself.  I LOVED every single minute of creating this.  I already purchased the Photoplay Christmas collection for the album I plan to design and create next.

I have a few pages to show you in photos, but I created a video going through each page and showing you what I started with.

This is one of my favorite quotes and I just fell in love with the artwork on these papers.  After doing two of Vicki Boutin’s album classes and a class with Layle Koncar, I have learned the value of using an entire collection to create an album instead of just purchasing things piecemeal that I think coordinate together.  The designer of this set spent a lot of time coordinating the collection, so why would I not take advantage of that person’s expertise?

I’ve created lots of pockets and flip doors in this album.  The gray ticket on the left page pulls out so I can journal on it and slide it back in.  The flap on the top right page flips up so I can add a photo or some private journaling.

I’ve used some of the plastic pocket  pages in a variety of configurations like this page.  I’ve created a flip up flap for extra photos or journaling that extends outside the pocket.

The right page here uses one of the cut aparts to create a pocket that I’ve placed two tags in that can be pulled out for journaling and photos.  People looking at this album have a lot to see!

This one has a flap on the left and a pocket with pull out tags on the right.  I supplemented my pages with some premade mixed media pages from Vicki Boutin’s 6 x 8″ foundations paper pad that coordinated with the fall colors used in this collection.

Another pocket with tags here as well.  Before doing any cutting, I created a set of sketches for each paper that I drew to scale.  I did cutting diagrams and layout pages.  I really spent several hours planning out everything before I cut into a single paper.  I was really trying to preserve the art and the details on each paper that I loved.

I really enjoyed creating this and it took several days to do.  What a relaxing way to spend several afternoons and evenings!

Two pages with a French Door style flap set.

I learned a lot creating this and my next one will be fun to create.  Check out all the pages and supplies with this video I created to share my “masterpiece”!!
