Sugar & Spice (lay flat) Mini Album
My design team creation for The Rubber Buggy is made from the Sugar & Spice collection by P13. I didn't think I would like this collection, but once I got it and started looking through it, OMG, I truly fell in love with it. This make an absolutely perfect dessert recipe album!! This is the cover and I fussy cut some pieces to add some wonderful dimension. Everything (except the ribbon, cardstock and chipboard) is from the collection. I used the 12 x 12 pad, 6x6 pad, decorating tags, ephemera die cuts and the cardstock stickers! Love how it turned out. This truly is a LAY FLAT ALBUM, and I will link below the tutorial to make this perfectly flat album. My friend Monica Partridge came up with this method over 4 years ago and it works wonderfully! I love dimension so I made sure to pop some of the flowers and of course the lollipops up as well as one of the stickers pieces. Such a cool collection to work with.
The back of the cover. I fussy cut one of the pretty flowers and used one of the cut a parts to stamp my 'Handmade for You' on. It tucks right in behind the flower.
Looking down inside you can see how this spine is free flowing from the cover allowing it to totally lay flat! Genius!
The inside cover and page 1
Inside cover has an expandable pocket that would hold many recipe cards. Don't you love the graphics!! I adorned the pocket with a small green ribbon and added one of the many stickers from the collection. I scallop cut the front of the expandable pocket for more interest.
Expandable pocket contents, a large tag/recipe card and a booklet.
Page 1. Each page has a side pocket that holds a pretty large tag that has the fold over. Each of the tags fold over has a magnet to also hold items under their fold over flap.
The contents from the cute stop on the bottom of the page and the large tag/mat under the flap.
The side pocket large tag exposed, it also has stops to hold more recipe cards or notes.

This album was such an easy one to do and what a pretty way to store all those dessert recipes. The graphics in this collection are so colorful and amazing, it was a pleasure to work with. The cut a parts worked out so well and all the choices make it easy to customize to your own liking. What a great gift idea for those special 'bakers' in your life.
This lay flat method of construction makes for a super awesome recipe book as you do NOT have to worry about the pages staying opened.
