Truth Coffee mini book

I have decided to join in with a new blog challenge site for Mini books...  you can find the Mini Album Makers Challenge here!

This is my entry:

Back in 2014 I started the negotiations to create an artwork 2m x 4m with a 3.5m airship for Truth Coffee... This fat mini book chronicles the work....

I made it from scratch so it would fit.

I like to print all my photos first and make my pages to house the photos.  This works for me...

The idea is that I like each double spread to tell a story about one thing...

Then in the end, I make the cover to fit all the pages I have created!
 This is a close up of the cover below.  I created the Truth logo in a 3D program and 3D printed it for the space I left.  The stamped image of the 3 stooges lost their hats when I got a little over zealous with the Ground Espresso distress spray... so I re-stamped the hats on card stock, fussy cut them and added them on top for the final cover...

The close catch is a strip of leather which I embossed with an embossing folder, glued to the back cover and used an eyelet over a little knob to keep the book closed.






I did not take photos of this album as I worked... so here is one of the inside pages.  I did however shoot a video which is below so you can see all the fold out pages, it is slightly fuzzy, but you get the idea!

  4. Very cool book to go with your awesome airship at Truth Coffee! I think it's great you have it documented, because that's the kind of thing you wake up and think you're dreaming, at least I would!

  8. Oooooh my goodness! This is total coolness and a wonder to view! I'm so in love with this amazing cover (and a little jelly that you have access to a 3D printer)! The pages with the photo flaps are genius and so perfect for displaying the photo collection. We are thrilled to have you join us for our first challenge at Mini Album Makers. Hugs, Autumn
