Fa La La Mini Album by Katelyn

Hey Wild Whisper Fans, Katelyn here! For today's post, I created this Fa La La Mini Album which is perfect for adding your winter photos to. To create my mini album, I've used the brand new Digital Collection - Wild Holiday Home and the 4x6 Stamp Set from the Talk Foodie To Me Collection. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite winter beverage and learn how to recreate my mini album at home.
To start, cut a piece of white cardstock that measures 5" x 12". Score at 3", 6" and 9". Ink the edges of both sides using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. For folding of the score lines, the first one will be a mountain, the second will be a valley and the third will be another mountain. Set aside.
Cut two white cardstock pieces that measure 2 1/2" x 6". Score at 3".  Ink the edges using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. For folding of the score lines, one will be folded into a mountain, the other will be folded into a  valley. Set aside.
The next steps use the Wild Holiday Home Paper Bundle - Digital Download. I printed my papers at Staples. 
Cut the polka dot paper into two pieces that measure 2 1/4" x 2 3/4". Cut another two pieces that measure 2 1/2" x 4 1/2". Ink the edges of all the pieces using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
