Hi crafters! Today, I'm sharing my latest Lori Whitlock Design Team Project. It's a winter mini album that I made with one of Lori's beautiful cutting files called Snowflake Lace (link below). I used it to create the front and back covers and a few pretty pages inside. I love its intricate design. Take a look ...

First, I'll explain how I created the covers, then we'll take a look inside.

To start, I resized the Snowflake Lace cutting file to 6x6 and duplicated the file for a front and back cover.

I wanted my back cover to be solid, so I needed to remove the lace in the second shape. To do this I highlighted the shape, right clicked, and hit release compound path.

Now the outside square is removed from the lace snowflakes. I deleted the design and kept the newly created solid back cover. Then I cut both pieces out of white acrylic, but ... you could easily use white card stock or chipboard instead.

In the file, there is a perfect spot in the lace for the binding ring to go through. You’ll need to punch a hole in the solid back cover if you're using card stock or chipboard.
Once the covers were done, I cut the inside pages out of white card stock. I cut 6 solid pages and 2 lace pages. Since the design is a bit intricate, I set the machine to cut
“heavy textured card stock” with 2 passes. Now ... time to decorate!

Isn't this lace cover pretty?! To decorate the album, I used the Doodlebug Design Winter Wonderland Collection. On the cover, I added some die cuts and a few sparkling mini jewels (links below).

Here, I created a fold-out page and added a photo mat on the front flap with a ski lift die cut piece.

Open that fold-out and there's a cute pocket inside with a fun snowman flip-up card on the front. I added a die cut in the pocket for journaling but extra photos can also be saved here.

This is one of the pretty lace pages that I cut from cardstock. I love it. I added a photo mat to the front and back side. It's such a beautiful way to highlight your winter photos.

On this pocket page, I used another one of Lori's cutting files to create the cute scalloped circle mat.

The cutting file is called 4 Scalloped Circles (link below) and includes the scalloped circle and the plain circle in the center.

I had so much fun creating this winter mini album with Lori's Snowflake Lace cutting file. The delicate pattern is so lovely and it made such unique album covers and pages.
