Graphic 45 - Camera Mini Album

Hello!

Dropping in today to share a new project created for Graphic 45 using their newly released Kaleidoscope Collection. This collection is full of bright colours and images. It is a little out of my comfort zone but it is a beautiful collection and I wanted to create something with it.

For my project I was inspired by one of the sediments that is printed throughout the collection, 'Colour Your World' and also some of the paper bordering reminded me of a filmstrip edge, soo that is where my idea come from I decided to create a camera with a pull out mini album.

'Colour Your World'

Camera Mini Album

The camera was created using a template I found on google by Gary Hegedus. This is the link to his tutorial for creation of the camera base - Gary Hegedus Cardboard Camera. While making the camera I then went about altering the backing and a few other pieces to suit my project.

The camera base was created using cardboard. once the camera base was constructed I then went about covering it with some of the papers from the Kaleidoscope collection. I love the little pops of colour,

As you can see the back of the camera folds open. I have used a brass buckle and latch to hold the backing closed.

Once the backing is open there is a mini album hidden inside.

I have made the mini album to resemble a film strip that pulls out. It has space for about 9 photos and straps to slide in tags for additional photos or journaling. The back camera flap also has a pocket for additional storage.

Just love how the colours pop against the darker colours.
