Just wanted to share a simple little project, coin envelope tag album.  Perfect for little summer mementos of your adventure’s this summer.  Easy and super fast, you can complete these little guys in less than an hour, depending on how carried away you get.

First, you need 5 little coin envelopes, 5 tags to fit inside, double sided patterned paper of your choice and some embellishments.  (Ribbons, brad, clips, you name it).

Tuck the flaps of the envelopes inside.  Then put a strip of adhesive right down the seam of the envelope, top to bottom.  Next, adhere another envelope right on top, repeat with the remaining envelopes, til you have a little accordion.  Simple.  Next, wrap a piece of patterned paper around, adhere with a tape runner.  I used a piece that was 2 1/4″ by 9″.  You will have about an inch and half extra that makes the little flap.  I rounded the corners on the flap and that part’s done.

All you have left to do is decorated your tags.  The sky’s the limit on what you want to do here.  You could even crop your photos to fit inside.  I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.  I love this stuff, it’s a beautiful shimmery spray that you can add to almost anything.  It comes in tons of colors and the more you use it the more you will love it.  I love using two or three colors combined together.  Check out their website here www.mytatteredangels.com.  I played and played, used my Tim Holtz distress inks, fun stamps and few other goodies.   I also used papers from Fancy Pants.  Love their stuff, too.  I love how fast and easy this little project was and you will too.  Check out all the photos below.  If you have any questions just leave me a comment and I will get back to you.

Have fun and take time to create and play!!!!!
