MEMORY DEX CHRISTMAS ALBUM

Hello creative people!

I've been wanting to try making a Memory Dex Album for a long time and I finally succeeded!

I actually used a trick because I recycled the base using a cell phone box lid. I recommend you do the same to save time! Mine measures 17.6 x 9.1 x 2.7 cm.

To make it, I chose the 12x6" and 12x12" “Fluffy Xmas” Paper Collection with the matching 6x12" Color Palette.

After covering the box both externally and internally, I created the inserts that are used to attach the typical Memory Dex sticks and which will be glued internally along the short sides of the box. Since the inside measurements of my box are 8.7 cm wide and 2.5 cm high, I cut 2 pcs of 1,5 mm Vegetable Cardboard slightly smaller, precisely 8.6 x 2 cm and covered them both with the same paper used for the inside.

Then I made the little holes considering the distance of the tag holes from the “Unconventional Tag” die I used to make the pages. Since I wanted to create some movement, I decided to make three misaligned rows of pages so I created 3 holes: in my case I punched holes at 1.8 cm, 4.3 cm and 6.6 cm, staying at a height of about 1.6 cm so that I could slide the tags easily. The three sticks are skewers as long as the inside length of the box, I stuck them in the 3 holes of the first insert, glued it to the wall of the box and then did the same thing with the other insert.

Now that the sticks are securely attached, let's think about the pages: all you need to do is cut your photographs with the “Unconventional Tag” Die, alternating them with the “Fluffy Xmas” Paper Collection.

Obviously in order to attach them to the sticks you will need to make a vertical cut from the tag hole to the base of the tag.

At this point I decorated the pages using the “Reindeer“, “Gingerbread”, “Snowman”, “Fluffy Xmas” Die, and “Traditional Christmas” Die Cuts.

To decorate the front of the box instead, I chose the “Snow Globe” Die with the words “COLD DAYS”.

And here is the finished album, I hope you enjoyed it!
